Heyyyyyyyyy! Sorry I haven't written, I have been very, very busy. Well today I will be talking about Sensory Processing Disorder. My little brother Bubby is getting checked to see if he has it. Do you know what Sensory Processing Disorder is? Well he gets frustrated because he can't talk and he has no way to say what he wants because of a speech delay. He also can't understand language that well. We are still waiting on the results for SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder). So people with SPD process things differently than the average human. They process things differently through their 5 senses - sight, smell, touch, sound, and taste. As a result they get extremely stressed and can't focus. Sometimes getting extremely stressed causes them to be destructive or act out.

Anyway right now Bubby gets speech and behavioral therapy. My family is making him a therapy room. It will have a swing, lots of toys, and a cute broccoli toy holder. Ohh yeah it will also have a ball pit. I'm actually very excited! A room for Bubby! That will be awesome!! :-) Anyway I have to wrap up my blog! :-( Love you all!



                                                I will keep you updated on the results of Bubby! Bye!!

 
 
Hey everybody!!! Well as you see I am writing about same sex marriage! My mother has friends who are gay. Let’s call them Emily and Rosa. But my mom is still friends with Emily and Rosa. Want to know why? Because she doesn't care that Emily and Rosa are gay. They are very kind, nice and funny. Unfortunately some people call gay marriage unholy. Well, we better look at marriage between straight men and women in America today and see how holy THAT is. You have.... people who are in Vegas and have a drive through wedding, the people who get married by the judge and the people who sign a paper and say they're married. Some people go online and become a minister for a special fee and use them in their ceremony. Is that holy? Plus if straight marriage was REALLY holy people wouldn't get divorced so often for VERY silly reasons. The only way someone should divorce is if their husband or wife is cheating on them, abuse or any other serious reason. Some people get divorced just because they get in a fight. That's also unholy. This is a such a silly argument. Plus all people in America have equal rights and people can love who they want to, man or woman no matter what gender. Nobody picks who they fall in love with. Well, not that long ago my parents wouldn't have been able to marry each other because they are from different races. Thank goodness the laws changed and I am here today. I hope the laws in ALL the states will allow the same chance my parents had.

Also, has anybody heard of Ellen DeGeneres? Anyway I love her show and so do lots other people. But Ellen is gay. She is awesome, funny, sweet, and kind. She does a lot of good things for people and they thank her. She is full of surprises. People love her. Some people don't like her only because she is gay not straight. So......that doesn't change her. She is still the same person except she is gay and married to a woman. So if you are one of the people who don't like same sex marriage think about if someone didn't like you because you married the person you did.

Hey everybody! :) Nala here! I'm very funny.
Today I'm talking about diapers. So if you are a parent of an infant or a toddler (2 or 3) keep your ears peeled. Lots of people don't know most disposable diapers like Pampers, Huggies, and Luvs have chemicals in them like chlorine, dyes, fragrances, plastics, petroleum, dioxin, sodium polyacrylate, tributyl - tin, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Those are very bad for the environment and the baby's butt. NOW do you want to put your kid in a disposable diaper? Well there are some chlorine free and less toxic disposable diapers but they are harder to find and more expensive.

But there is something else you can use - modern cloth diapers!! Some come in one size (which you can adjust) and some come in all different sizes. They also come in cool designs. My little brother Bubby uses them. There is one that I adore and it's called the Ogga Booga diaper. I love it! It is sooo cute. Anyway here are some cloth diaper brands FuzziBunz, Chubby Cheeks, Alva, BabyKicks, Sunbaby, BabyLand, KaWaii, BumGenius, gDiapers, Green Mountain, Trend Lab, and Charlie Banana. Plus, like the Ogga Booga diaper I love, there are hundreds of Work At Home Mom (WAHM) brands to choose from. For WAHM diapers go to these sites: http://hyenacart.com/ & http:/ /www.etsy.com/. For more about Toxic disposable diapers go to: http://www.livestrong.com/article/111348-chemicals-disposable-diapers/.  So if you are a parent Go Green and buy Cloth Diapers!! Your baby will love the cloth diapers as much as you do! :)





 
HI!!! I'm Nala (Nala is my pen name because my mom is crazy (in a good way) and won't let me write my real name). I am 8 turning nine in a month!!! I love to read!!! I am currently reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. But, before I really start my blog I need to tell you more about myself. Well....

I live in my house with my mom, dad, and my little brother! My little brother is nicknamed Chubby Chubster the Chubless Boy because his face is very cute and chubby but the rest of his body became skinny after he started walking. Sometimes I just call him Chubster or Bubby. Anyway I also have a cat named Cinderella. Hey..... anybody want a cat? I want a dog but I have a cat!! :)

If you have heard of or about a country called the Philippines give yourself a pat on the back. My dad is from the Philippines. It is very close to the equator. Some of my family still lives there. I have never gone to the Philippines but I am going in 2014. I am told there is a place there called Jollibee there that have some unusual fast food items like spaghetti, hash brown burger, pancake and hot dog, and crispy milkfish and rice. If you want to see the full menu go to: http://www.jollibee.com.ph/menu/burger.
