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 [...]
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.
Dear Hands Free [...]
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 [...]
I always try to get a jump start on things, especially when it has to deal with Adam. He must be one of the hardest people to shop for. Frankly, I really think I should wait to start planning Father’s Day, at least until after my birthday/mother’s day (which fall on the same day this [...]
I’ve spoken before on how much I love shoes. Most girls do. I don’t exactly have a “problem” about shoes, yet. Today, Adam totally caught me off guard because I was looking for new black flats. Usually he rolls his eyes at me and says I don’t need anymore shoes. Today though? I was trying [...]
Raising a special needs child and having many connections within the special needs community, not to mention other parent who have had premature babies, I’m quite familiar with McHappy Day and the Ronald McDonald houses that are available for parents (and relatives to stay) while their children are receiving treatment in a hospital. Thankfully, my [...]
I don’t even know how it all began to be honest with you. Living in a house with 4 vaginas (3 human, 1 feline) the topic comes up frequently. Then there are those blogs I use for “Research” that talk about vaginas too. They’re an epidemic, really. Since Rhea up and went and got a [...]
A certain someone who writes this blog has a birthday coming up. Now not like it’s a huge deal since it’s not a big milestone or anything, but I always look forward to my birthday. Growing up, I remember a lot of the birthday parties my parents threw for me. One in particular was an [...]
When Adam and I became grown-ups and managed to start our tiny family, things were a little tight for a while. In the first half of our marriage, Adam worked out of province (actually in the US), and I worked as well, we quickly became pregnant with Lauren. Adam’s company is pretty stellar to work [...]
