About the Author: Mary Jenkins
I am a mother of a 6 year old and a 3 year old, both of whom are on the Autism Spectrum. Motherhood is not the picture perfect story I thought it would be and I'm learning to accept that. It definitely makes life more interesting! A native of So Cal, in the past 9 years I have lived in 5 different states, currently making home in the beautiful CA Bay Area. I enjoy singing and music, have recently found a new love in spin class, and try to sneak in a trip to Disneyland whenever I can. Visit my blog at fashionedcreativity.blogspot.com
