Hello, friends! We are a family of four navigating sensory processing disorders with both of our young sons. And while Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) doesn’t define us, it has certainly helped shape our life into one that is sensory-centered. SPD is much like the seasons – unpredictable, ever-changing, always in motion, sometimes 75 and sunny and other times weeks of endless clouds.
This website is intended to serve as a one-stop shop for parents and caregivers of littles challenged by sensory integration. Hear our stories (About/Blog), learn about how we incorporate sensory activities at home (Sensory at Home) and find out about our favorite tools (Making Sensory Cents). I hope this provides you with the comfort of hot tea on the coldest night, the energy of that first sip of coffee in the morning and the love that is sharing a meal with your favorite people. When our journey was just beginning, I remember feeling so overwhelmed that I couldn’t bring myself to search multiple places and sift through pages and pages to find what I was looking for. My hope is that here you won’t have to.
So welcome to our journey. Whether you’re here to learn about our story specifically, to gain a better understanding of sensory processing disorders or because you’re in search of love and affirmation while on your own journey, you’ve come to the right place. Navigating any sensory dysregulation in children can be really challenging. But as our family has learned, the right support for children AND parents can morph mountains into manageable molehills.
