My favourite things on the web-0-sphere right now for moms of kids with special needs (or any kids!)

I have been rather unfocused on my blog and website searches over the last few months and it has enabled me to happen upon some of the most excellent resources.  You know when you click on one blog link and then you see a blog that they follow that catches your eye, and so on. 
Most of these appeal to me as a mom of a child with special needs, but it need not be.  These are awesome for all kids!

These are not in any particular order........drumroll please...

1.  These two blogs are my new favourites for crafty/sensory play ideas.  They are so awesome that you just have to go to them instead of wasting time reading what I have to say about them.  Do it.  You know you wanna.

2.  This is an awesome resource of a plethora of kids books that deal with issues such as disability, worries, illness, all the way to losing a tooth, bedwetting or adoption.  It has it all and it is awesome.

3. Counting Coconuts.  I just love saying it lol.  This mom has the. best. sensory tubs. EVER.

6.  This is the best e-magazine out there that deals with issues of and about children with complex needs.  Actually, I have never found one as good in print either!  It is a must read.

7.  This is a Canada wide access guide.  It has extremely detailed information about what is accessible in destinations within the city of your choosing.
