Welcome to 8 Busy Bees!

About the new WordPress site and a little about me

I am a mom to six kids–four of whom have special needs and are on the Autism Spectrum.  The youngest has been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder and Generalized Anxiety.  This blog is to share a bit of our life and how we get through the day.

We also have lots of friends with special needs kids, and we’ve found a lot of the same things helpful.

I’ve been blogging for a few years, but I am making the move to an updated and rebranded WordPress.  I’ve pulled in content from my older Autism based blogs.  Some will be getting a new twist moving forward.

I’ll also have other posts I designate with a “Throwback Thursday”.

In the past I’ve had the multiple blogs to keep my crafting and Autism posts separate, but it’s exhausting.  One of the ways I deal with daily stresses is through creative outlets, so on this blog you will find all of my pursuits and passions as well as the nitty-gritty of daily life, and tips for parenting, self-care and organization.

I plan to tag and use categories to help keep a little separation for readers who are only interested in one or the other topic.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing some time with me!
