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 [...]

The following is a guest post by my fabulously awesome 2nd mother, Dorothy. I am so lucky to have so many awesome people in my life!
(Dorothy is the one in the blue, cute, right?!)
Blogging…am I really doing this…Why the heck not. I asked Cheryl if she could explain blogging to me. She said if I wanted [...]

Hi!  It’s Rhea from www.mommy23monkeys.com (otherwise known as Cheryl’s very best friend in the whole wide world!).  I’m actually sneaking in here to hijack Cheryl’s blog so that I can be the first person to say:

(Now, before I get my big girl panties all in a knot because autism has it’s own month and Cerebral palsy has it’s own DAY, that’s neither here nor there) I’m also writing this post so I don’t start using a lot of eff bombs about our insurance company since Jillian’s botox was not approved [...]

Bring on the wine, week 6!! YAY! 6 weeks in already. This seriously is the best idea Heather, Rhea and I have ever had. Since my last review was a memory, I already have my next wine picked out! I had seen a lot of talk from Lynsey at Moscato Mom about moscato wine. Seriously? [...]

My original plan was to update you, my 6 readers on Blissdom Canada by breaking it up into days. Obviously, I was smoking crack or I had a concussion at the time, because I haven’t even had the chance to THINK coherently about my experience let alone BLOG about it! I DO wish I could [...]

So, there’s ANOTHER conference in Toronto on Wednesday morning. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get Adam to take MORE time off work since he’s taking some “sick” time for Blissdom. So… as a good host as I am, I wrote the poor souls awesome fellow mommy bloggers a list of rules that they need to abide by [...]
