Awareness at the Office

“This review is based strictly on my opinion. Others may have a different opinion or experience with the product listed above. I was provided the sample free of charge by the company or PR agency and I provided my honest opinion. No other type of compensation was received for this review.”

I started a new job back in September.  With this new job, I have new duties that require me to carry ID.  


I once went all the way downtown to find out I didn't have my ID with me.  I knew right then that I need an ID holder.  Something that would guarantee that I wouldn't forget it again.  

Imagine my excitement when I saw that oriental trading, had these awesome Autism Awareness ID holders!!!! 


The clasp hook slipped right on and secures that my ID will not come off. 


I love the colors, because they are bright and ensures that I will not lose my ID, and/or I will spot quickly if I misplace it!  

But the chance of me ever misplacing are very very slim, because it slips right over my head, and strap is long so it rest comfortably against my torso.  


While browsing I saw some pens, that I thought were very cool!  


Again I loved that it was another opportunity to spread awareness, but what intrigued me more, were the great quotes that changed with every click of the pen!  




I especially love that Accept was one of the sayings!!! Spreading awareness is major to me, but ultimately Accetance is what I would love more!  


Best of all, it writes smoothly and neatly! The ink doesn't spread or leak.  A definite must get. And they come in packs of 12, so you can share or have more when your pen gets swiped!

Autism Awareness on the Go!!!

I am always looking for ways to spread awareness of Autism.  So imagine my excitement when I found out that Oriental Trading started offering Autism Awareness items to purchase in bulk!!!! With the challenger league starting and my mud run coming up in September I couldn't wait to check out some of the  items they had to offer.



I received my package, and I couldn't wait to open it up and see the items.  I was most excited to see the Autism Awareness car magnets!!! My existing car magnet is discolored and old, so I am need of a new one.



I love it!  The colors are bright, and I love the graphics!  It's simple but very bold!  


Now everywhere I go, I will be spreading awareness!  The hubby even is sporting one!

How to get to the Baseball Field?!

The Challenger League baseball season is starting.  And you(r) child (ren) are going to play baseball.  


We want to help make the process go as smoothly as possible!  

There are different ways that you make travel to get to the field.  Some may drive a car. 

Some take the train 


Or they may ride the bus. 


Some might have to take a train and a bus!  

The field is located in the Waters Place Center by Mercy College.  


It may be a little difficult to find but we are right behind a pathmark on Eastchester Road, and across from the new LA Fitness they recently built.  


The nearest Train is the 6 line and the stop would be Westchester Square/East Tremont.  On a nice day, it may be a nice walk, from the station to the field.  But if you don't want to walk you can catch the 
21 bus to Waters Place & Hutchinson Pkwy.  

You can also take The Bx 40 & Bx 42 to East Tremont & Hutchinson Pkwy.  

If your taking public transportation, enter through the 1200 - 1260 Waters Place entrance/Hutchison Metro Center. 


The field is just a few feet away from this sign.  


This is the entrance you will enter through if you are coming by walking, train or Bus. 


If you are coming by car, the field is located right the Hutchinson River Pkwy. Please note we are located inside the Hutchinson Metro Center, not at field right off of Westchester Avenue.  

If you need to park your vehicle, please enter through the 1300 Waters Place Entrance. 


It will look a bit confusing when you enter, but just keep to the right.  


You will come to circle/intersection. Turn right and go straight. 


Go slow and keep straight, and prepare to turn left into parking lot D.  


At parking lot D, you may park your vehicle.  


The field is located right across from the Parking Lot.  


Follow the path straight to the field.  You're almost there!!! 


There is a walkway that will lead you right to baseball field we will be playing in.  



When you get to end, the challenger Field will be on the left hand side.  


We are extremely excited and cannot wait to start the season!!!!
