New Year's Goal Setting for the Homeschool Mom

I've always been a pretty nostalgic person - always made it a point to reflect and look at life as one big story - so it makes sense that New Year's is my favorite.

Every year I like to reflect back and dream forward but this year I had so much more material to work with. Looking back, thinking of where we were a year ago at this time - in Michigan quite literally at the end of our rope - it blows my mind to see what God has done in 365 days. Through a series of circumstances, He gave us a " George Bailey" experience as well as precious time with family and friends, grew us spiritually, stretched us beyond what we thought was possible and brought us back home to Alabama. To honor the cliche, hindsight really is 20/20. I can see how God moved in many ways; I can understand the reason behind certain struggles, I can find the silver lining.

But I can't for the life of me predict the future.

Detox for Autism & ADHD

I could feel it coming.

We had visitors in town, the twins had two birthday parties, and then Valentine’s day came. All of this celebration led to a gross overindulgence of sugar and screens.

By Valentine’s Day, we were cranky, wired, over-tired, undernourished, overstimulated and sliding frantically down a slippery slope.

Screens and sugar – and especially their toxic combination – bring out the worst in us. They are the Achilles heel of the Rinna family.

So when their effects reared their ugly head during that week I knew without a doubt...

It was detox time.
