WHY I Blog
“A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

I am Teresa Leigh Kerrigan. I am an attorney by training, a mother by choice, a teacher by necessity and a wife by luck!
I started this blog to offer support and strategies to parents who feel lost, unsupported and overwhelmed. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing therapists: occupational, physical, speech and behavioral! It has been such a blessing to learn skills and strategies for, not just survival, but for creating a family that THRIVES!
I am learning to parent my five extremely different children with a variety of needs and special conditions. I am learning to parent well. I am learning to parent from a place of peace. I am learning to enjoy parenting!
I am constantly amazed at how little support there is for families with kiddos with diverse needs. We need real strategies. We need something we can print out and use right now. We need support from people who truly know what we are going through because their journey is not much different from ours. This blog is a place for parents to find those things and to share their experience, their worries, their questions and their suggestions.
We all need support. Who better to give us support than each other!
