My Top Ten Tuesday Collection

I have written about a variety of topics, for Top Ten Tuesday, over the course of this year and I thought it would be fun to revisit them.

  1. 10 Things We Love About Our New Kitty - A fun post about our new kitty with some adorable pictures.
  2. Top Ten Christmas Decorations From My Childhood - This post was a nostalgic walk down memory lane for me.
  3. Top Ten Things I Say To My Kids Everyday - I read the list again and it still holds true, although there are a few more that I could add now.
  4. Top Ten Building Adventures - Fun pictures of the kids building with a variety of different building toys.
  5. Top Ten Ways To Make Pizza That Isn't Pizza - This was a fun post to research. I am looking forward to revisiting all these ideas after Christmas.
  6. 10 Ideas For Stretching Your Large Family Food Dollars - These ideas might come in handy as you start the new year and recover from any Christmas over spending (you didn't do that, right?).
  7. Top Ten Ways The iPad Has Changed Our Homeschooling - The uses for the iPad in a homeschool setting are limited only by your imagination and creativity.
  8. Top 10 Books For Parents Of Boys (and the next 40) - Are you the parent one or more boys? Are you looking for some good books to read? Check out this list.
  9. Ten Special Needs Books That I Have Read - These books were all very useful to us in our journey with a child with autism.
  10. Ten Special Needs Books That I Want To Read - Why is it that I never have enough time to catch up on my reading? (Okay, don't answer that please.)

  6. The Sensory-Sensitive Child: Practical Solutions for Out-of-Bounds Behavior by Karen A. Smith and Karen R. Gouze. I searched the Internet for an author website and could not find one. You can visit Amazon to read a book description and several reviews.
  7. All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome by Kathy Hoopmann. I searched the Internet for an author website for this book as well. Here is a link to the book on Amazon. I borrowed this book from the library a long time ago, but it was one that I will always remember. It was so good. It is a very easy read.

This is another book where I could not find an author or book website. This book has an amazing collection of recipes for use if you or your child is following the GFCF diet.
