My beautiful, hectic life as a family of four dealing with Cerebral Palsy.
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I haven’t talked much about CP around these parts lately. It’s not that I don’t WANT to, it’s that I try to paint this pretty little persona that I have everything under control, or that I complain waaaaaaay too much on my blog (I’ve been told that I don’t [...]
I have mentioned over and over my volunteering with Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. When I first received Jillian’s diagnosis, I was glued to Google, trying to figure out what to do with the information. Add that to not being FROM Ontario and no support from friends that have been there, done that- the wheels [...]
Yesterday marked a nice milestone. For Lauren. She turned 5 yesterday and in true Cheryl form, I was out hunting for a birthday present yesterday afternoon. I hit up the usual spots- Walmart and Toys r Us. January is such a tough month for a birthday, but I always vow I will make [...]
It was a dark and stormy night… Isn’t that how all great stories start? On January 19th, 2007, Adam and I made our way to the IWK Women’s and Children’s hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was a weird January night. EXTREME rain fall and low pressure system. For most people, that might be enough [...]

I was perusing MSN this morning and a story flashed across my screen. “18 True Things Moms Don’t Want to Admit” I thought, great! Maybe I could relate to these people! Myself, along with other moms, find it relatively simple to relate to each other, usually. Upon reading the article, I was left shaking my [...]
I am obviously a fan of stating the obvious. Christmas was barely over here and the stores changed their layout for Valentine’s day. It seems like things are getting earlier and earlier! I noticed Christmas items right after Halloween. I wonder if we’ll ever get to the point that we have all seasonal merchandise all [...]
Since turning 30 last year, I’ve noticed some startling changes about my body. I don’t really think 30 is old, but I think my body thinks it is!
I’d like to know what gives with the acne. Frankly, I have more zits now then I did as a teenager. I think that is a cruel, cruel [...]
If you’ve visited here a lot, you might remember my ongoing battle with our insurance company, Manulife Financial regarding Botox injections to ease spasticity in children with Cerebral Palsy. During this extremely lengthy time, I have had the pleasure of meeting some pretty fabulous people. Keeping me going, motivating, celebrating, it’s fabulous really. Recently, a [...]
This is a guest post by the ever fabulous Nolie. I guess when I asked her once if there was anything she wouldn’t say, I shouldn’t have been surprised to have this in my inbox! Enjoy!
