2011 AccessAbility Festival at Morgan's Wonderland

Hello my fellow bloggers! Have you missed me? I sure have missed you! Ahhh, I am nearing the end of my wedding season and now beginning the Holiday season. It's time for me to start sharing with you all my quest to becoming Mrs. Texas International 2012. This past Sunday I had the honor and privilege of making an appearance at the 2011 AccessAbility Festival in San Antonio, TX. It was held at Morgan's Wonderland where EVERYONE can play. I met many amazing children and adults facing intellectual disabilities. I got to watch the Unicorn Steppers perform some fancy footwork and I had the opportunity to meet Gordon Hartman. Gordon is the founder of the Gordon Hartman Family Foundation and creator, along with the inspiration from his daughter, Morgan Hartman; of Morgan's Wonderland. I'm looking forward to working with Gordon Hartman, his Foundation, and Morgan's Wonderland to help raise awareness of all learning disabilities.

Break Up Big Jobs So They're Small

Well I have to say I have found another favorite channel on YouTube about ADHD. Dr. C has some great videos that he has posted and he also has a wonderful website. This video is a great way to teach your child or yourself on how you can get things done by breaking them down into smaller tasks. Take a look, I just know you will be singing along or tapping a foot by the time the video is over... Enjoy!
