My beautiful, hectic life as a family of four dealing with Cerebral Palsy.
There are a few things to talk about! First, I thought I would give everyone an update on the Botox situation. I haven’t really updated more than just a quick word here or there. Jillian is doing well since the last injections, walking farther, more indurance and practicing on actual stairs. We’ll be re-seen in [...]
Here we are! Another Wednesday! I might have slipped under the radar last week with my double whammy birthday and mothers day since it fell on a little bit of an important day for some people! My day was great. I was greeted by my children and husband carting breakfast who mooched most of it. [...]
So there’s this meme going around for a bit. Pictures of the ever hunky (and Canadian! woot!) Ryan Gosling saying “Hey Girl…” followed by some wickedly awesome phrase. Sunday from Adventures in Extreme Parenthood began a regular meme for special needs bloggers to link up their ideas on what Ryan Gosling would say to us. [...]
Interestingly enough, I came across this article from Hands Free Mama that I felt the urge to respond to. She wrote an article the other day about How to Miss a Childhood. (She’s getting a ton of traffic at the moment, so have patience….) Anyway, this is what I felt compelled to write.

It has taken me a couple days to get my thoughts a little less jumbled! I had a great conversation with another mom whose daughter has dystonia and I knew I needed to get this done sooner rather than later! Poor Adam though, I came on on Saturday full of information that I was still [...]
Of a family adviser/mentor through Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation. I’m asked this question a lot since I always seem to be running in all directions. I joined the family adviser and mentor program in January of 2011. So, I have just completed my first year as a volunteer through this hospital. When people said to me [...]
The following is a guest post from Amanda.
The weather has warmed and spring has arrived, meaning that May – and, with it, Mother’s Day – is just around the corner. For me, Mother’s Day is a delightful Sunday when I eat breakfast in bed, go to the beach or park with my family, and then enjoy a barbeque during the [...]
Today, Jillian and I took off to Holland Bloorview to start trialing wheelchairs for Jillian to begin school. SCHOOL. I might be allowing myself a little freak out about this whole school thing now. I mean, I’m going to have to take up a hobby or a job. Or get a puppy. Pretty sure that [...]
