My beautiful, hectic life as a family of four dealing with Cerebral Palsy.
Thankfully my needing maternity clothes has passed. Growing up, I always wanted a large family. But, 2 days before Jillian was born, I decided that I’d do it for Adam, but I was done having children. Plus, if I were to get pregnant now- I would have to buy new clothes since I’ve lost weight [...]
Lived in a place where you only remember happy things and would end up going back there in a heartbeat? I don’t even think that’s the sentence that would fit that best. I’ll tell you about Argentia, Newfoundland.
My family and I moved to Argentia shortly after my 6th birthday. Moving from Victoria, British Columbia to [...]
It is finally May! I always look forward to my birthday and now that I have children Mother’s day! Although our budget might be tight some years but Adam and the girls still spoil me. Not always with material things- the thought most definitely counts! The following is a guest post from Amanda, reminding us to [...]
Stating the obvious here but it’s almost May! I look forward to May every year. Mostly because my birthday is coming up (My 3rd anniversary of my 29th Birthday ) and mother’s day. Lucky for me (or unlucky since Adam thinks he can give 1 present for both occasions…Kidding…Kinda.) Since my birthday always falls [...]
I’m always looking for snack ideas for the girls, so this was such a fun product to get behind. Not to mention my girls already love Bear Paws! I’m sure the girls also get tired of having the same few things available for snacks at school.
We were lucky to receive a pretty awesome prize pack [...]
And why do I keep being surprised?! In a previous post, I wrote about Daniel’s initiative in the Ronald McDonald Playroom. His goal? Engage the clients and their families in ways to make the playroom better in the pilot program. both girls were invited but I had NO idea how Jillian would participate since she [...]
I pride myself in honesty around here and this time is no different! I have been known to hand write all of our Christmas cards, address them and stamp them. Then promptly forget to take them to the mail box. I rock at that game! Shortly, after Christmas- after reading other Christmas cards that had [...]
(See? We have fun! Jillian totally photobombed us!)
Or as I liked to say, I had a holy shit moment today. First, let me back up a bit. I gave a quick rundown on what it was like to be a parent mentor/advisor on a new committee and how absolutely terrified I was at first. Thankfully [...]
Since our wedding was SO long ago, I like to live vicariously through other people. Our wedding was fairly low key- 54 guests, small venue, it was really perfect for us. Not to mention I was away at summer camp until 12 days before our wedding!
The following is a guest post from Amanda.
It’s natural to [...]
Friday was fun! It was the end of March Break for the girls, and since our children had childcare lined up, I had the rare chance to go on a road trip with Anchel and Barb. I debated on if I should go. I am still pretty sore from the car accident and of course, [...]
