Thank you for our year home

Saturday,  March 28th we celebrated the girls’ one year home with a pink and gold filled party attended by friends and family. Then, yesterday, we celebrated the staff at the hospital who made it possible for our girls to come home. Before the girls were even born there were people who took care of them, […]

Cerebral Palsy isn’t just a diagnosis, it’s part of our life

March is Cerebral Palsy awareness month and today, March 25th, marks National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day. It also happens to be the first one since Ella’s diagnosis in January. There’s a lot of things I could tell you about CP; it’s caused by an injury to the brain, most often at birth, and does not […]

CONTEST! CONTEST! CONTEST!

Did I mention CONTEST? ! So I know you were all wondering what the big news was when I posted about my expansion, mostly because I got tons of texts and messages after! I’m super excited to announce my first partnership and giveaway with Little Miss Bows and Bands! (www.bowsandbands.ca) I love to shop, LOVE […]

Oh is it March 20th? I hadn’t noticed

For most parents, there’s one special day that stands out; the day their baby was born. Maybe the due date is remembered, but rarely acknowledged beyond the parents reminiscing. For preemie parents, there’s usually three important days; the day their baby should have been born, the day they were born, and the day they came […]

We’re crowd funding babies now?

In so many ways, I’m a super modern chick. See? I even referred to myself as a chick. But, there are a few things about our modern ways I just don’t get; snapchat,  Tinder, and crowd funding being some of them. As a social worker, I’ve literally begged for money for my work, and of […]

Battle of the Bulge Update: Month Two

This month was….interesting.  I didn’t gain any weight but I only lost one pound. One pound in 4 weeks! I blame the firetruck cake leftovers.  Firetrucks are pretty delicious,  I must say. I’ve banned my favourite junk food from the house – when it’s here, I eat it either because I’m bored or tired or […]

The sun will come out tomorrow

This week, a truly magical thing happened – the clouds parted and the sun came out. It was orange, warm, and much needed.  People started smiling to each other as they had their first taste of spring. It really couldn’t have come at a better time. Not only are we all just sick to death […]

We’re 14 months old!

I know I literally say this every month, but where does the time go?! Not sleeping, that’s for sure! The girls are still waking up in the night. It’s not like it’s been a long time since I’ve had a good night’s sleep. Oh wait, it has been! It’s been a busy month; the girls […]

An open letter to my babies who refuse to sleep

Dear babies, It’s your Mama. You hopefully know me as the person who feeds you, changes you, bathes you, sings to you, cuddles you, and most importantly,  loves you. You may also know me as the sleep drunk woman in pyjamas with a zombie face staggering into your room several times a night in response […]

Expansion and big things coming!

I originally started Adventures With Multiples when I went inpatient while pregnant with the girls. It seemed like an easy way to share information with lots of people at once as well as work through my feelings in the best way I know how – writing. Since then, I’ve written for other blogs and now […]
