Autism Awareness Day (month)

(this is last years images) I got Nolan an amazing shirt last year from On A Mission Apparel.  It is so wonderful and I love it so much I bought it again in the next size up! Stella got a bow from Bellisibows,  and a shirt from Lil Emerald Boutique. We have many shirts that support Autism awareness.  I purchase them from a variety of locations but the most common are: AutismSpeaks and newly discovered (and love that they donate to Autism as well!) PiperLou Collection. THEN we got a partnership with Gabbowlous Boutique and they had Autism bows AND bow ties, so we invested in one of each those too! If you purchase in March or April you can use our discount code: Gabbowlousfam and mention Gloudemans in message to seller 🙂 Apparel is great because it is personal and it walks with you.  You area walking billboard or support and understanding. Last year, we were just coming into this diagnosis and it was our first year celebrating.  Right around that time, a facebook friend posted that she made an awesome burlap wreath. I got it in my mind to make a wreath that fit my style and showed my support, so I messaged her for the link on how-to. (here and here).  I took the both kids to the craft store and dollar tree to get the supplies.  I then had Nolan paint the puzzle pieces (dollar tree puzzle) and glued them on the wreath I completed according to the directions (Wreath frame, burlap (5″x15 in, I got 2) & ribbon from Joann).
