Life with FASD is full of unique moments. Caregivers and individuals living with FASD, have you taken time to notice and wonder?

Living with or caring for someone with FASD can be challenging, but you don’t have to face it alone. Support groups can make all the difference by providing a community of people who truly understand your journey.

We know you've heard it before: self-care is important. But sometimes, we all need a little reminder. So, here it is: Take time for YOU. 💖

Caring for someone with FASD can be rewarding but challenging, and your well-being matters just as much as theirs. Whether it’s finding a quiet moment with your favorite book, taking a brisk walk, or simply sharing a laugh with a friend, self-care doesn’t have to be complicated.

✨ As we say goodbye to 2024 and step into the magic of 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the past and dream about the future. ✨

Winter is a magical season, but it can stretch family budgets and creativity when it comes to keeping everyone entertained—especially for families navigating life with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). With disrupted routines and varying sensory needs, a little planning goes a long way in making winter a season of connection, learning, and fun!

As the holiday season wraps up, it’s time to ease back into our routines. For many families, especially those navigating life with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), this transition can feel overwhelming. But you’re not alone! 💛

The holidays are full of joy and excitement, but as the season ends, the shift back to routine can feel overwhelming, especially for families living with FASD. Changes in routine, sensory overload, and emotional adjustments can impact everyone differently.

The holidays fill our homes and hearts with joy, tradition—and let’s face it—stuff. Now that the season is winding down, what’s your approach?👉 Team Clean Slate: Do you pack it all up on December 26th, eager to reclaim your space?

The holiday season is magical, but let’s be honest—it can also be a lot. Between shopping, planning, and checking off those endless to-do lists, it’s easy to forget to slow down and truly soak in the beauty around us. But those quiet moments? They’re where the magic lives.

It’s crunch time! The stores are packed, the parking lots are chaotic, and the pressure to find the perfect gift is real. Sound familiar? 😅

For some, holiday meal prep is pure joy—picking recipes, filling the kitchen with festive smells, and creating a meal to share with loved ones. For others? It’s stressful—juggling dietary restrictions, cooking for a crowd, and feeling the pressure to make everything perfect.

Ever have one of those days where it feels like you’re sprinting from one event to the next? Breakfast meeting, work commitments, a school pickup, two evening gatherings… and somewhere in there, you’re supposed to eat, sleep, and maybe breathe. 😅

The holidays aren’t always filled with joy and celebration for everyone. Sometimes, they can bring feelings of loneliness or a deep longing for loved ones who aren’t with us. Whether you’re missing someone far away, grieving a loss, or feeling isolated, know that you’re not alone.

The holidays can bring a lot of pressure to find the perfect gift. Ever find yourself overthinking: Will they love it? Is it thoughtful enough? It is easy to get caught up, but let's pause for a moment.

There’s nothing like curling up with loved ones, a cozy blanket, and your favorite holiday movie. Whether it’s It’s a Wonderful Life or Elf, these moments are all about joy, laughter, and a sprinkle of holiday magic.

Have you paused to step outside on a chilly day and just breathe? The crisp air, the quiet stillness—it can be so refreshing. Or maybe the cold makes you want to stay inside, cozy with a warm drink.

The holidays often come with pressure to make everything just right—the perfect dinner, the perfect gifts, the perfect decor. But is the quest for perfection adding joy or stress to your season?
