Battle of the Bulge Update: Month Three

It’s the third month since rejoining Weight Watchers and the sun is finally coming out, which of course means less clothing very soon (ugh- exposed arms). I lost 2.2 pounds last month and have 5.8 pounds (let’s round to 6) to my pre – twins weight. All of my old pants fit, but there’s definitely […]

Multiplicity Spring Issue

I have to say that I love to write. I remember writing short stories and novellas when I was a kid. I even tried my hand at poetry and music. Of course, I never imagined that anyone would want to read my writing, let alone publish it. I’m thrilled to be featured twice in the […]

We’re 15 months old!

15 months! It gets more and more obvious that the girls are moving away from babyhood and into toddlerdom. Raegan is pretty much ready to pack a bag and move out. She’s thisclose to walking and I expect by next month’s update, she will be trotting along. For now, she’s pulling up and cruising at […]

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 […]
