April is Autism Awareness month. I am blessed to be the mom of this amazing five-year-old pictured above, Benjamin. In 2008, he was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. We have been so fortunate to have met some wonderful people in our journey to know more and get Benjamin all the help he needs. One organization that has truly touched our lives is the Flying Vikings. To read about Benjamin's personal Flying Vikings adventure, click here.
Although the Flying Vikings help children with a wide range of special needs, not just autism, we are especially grateful to them for the day they gave us and our son. In honor of Autism Awareness Month, we will be donating 25% of all our profits to this organization throughout April. Even if you don't wish to make a purchase, you can still make a donation to this fabulous organization by clicking the Paypal Donate button on the right side of the page. All donations will go straight the Vikings.
Let's also do a GIVE-AWAY!!!

We'll be giving away a NEW Photo Header Blog Design (a $30 value)
