Ding, ding, ding! Schools are almost back in session.

Playgrounds and PCS
Well, the summer is in full swing here in Augusta, Georgia, and when our kiddo isn’t at the pool or running through the fountains at the park, he can be seen swinging through the air on the monkey bars or being twirled in circles on the merry-go-round. While he is relatively care-free playing with his friends and delving into many books at the library, I have been struggling with how to prepare him for yet another move at the end of the summer.
Healthy Parenting During a PCS
My family and I are currently in the home stretch of my husband’s third deployment. As I make arrangements for our PCS move from Virginia to Texas, minus my husband, Military OneSource continues to hold my hand through it all. The resources and advice found on their website blow my mind because I do not remember this wonderful and infinite information rainbow being available during our first deployment several years ago. Then again, I had everything figured out back in the day when we were military newbies!

Seems odd to be worrying about this already, but there’s no way we can afford to send him to the places he’s looking at.

Then, we had Cub Scouts Day Camp.
What are the Early Signs of Autism?
If you’re planning to have a baby or are currently pregnant, getting to know the early warning signs of autism can be a huge advantage for you and your kids. In fact, research suggests if you already have one child with autism, your risk of having another autistic child increases by about 20 percent, says Daniel Openden, vice president and clinical services director of the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center (SARRC).
