When the doctors first mentioned the words Cerebral Palsy after Ella’s brain injury, it sent me through the stages of grief, but I spent a long time in denial. I had convinced myself that Ella would prove everyone wrong, that she would hit all her milestones and be tough and amazing and would waltz into […]
Last week the girls turned two and so naturally that means it’s time to party! They had a rather large shindig last year, and I really wanted to keep it small, but still special. So, this past Sunday, that’s what we did; a small get together based around one of the girls’ favourite things – […]
Multiplicity just released a brand new website and the Winter issue is live now! In it, I write about some ways to introduce your twins to their big brother or sister and keep them from feeling jealous or insecure. I am by no means an expert on the topic, but I always tried to remember […]
Just slightly over two years ago the girls were born; Raegan at 7:29 and Ella at 7:32 PM. I had no idea then the journey we were about to embark on, but I am thankful for every day. I am always amazed at the girls and their bond. Their personalities really are as if one […]
Dear baby girls, Tomorrow you turn two, and though it seems like only yesterday you were born, you are no longer babies, but becoming two strong-willed ladies. I’ve watched you grow every day, from two tiny bums on an ultrasound machine to sassy, bright eyed girls wanting to explore the world. As your birthday comes, […]

As 2015 rapidly comes to a close, I cannot help but reflect on the year. I have to say, this year was not the easiest. There were highs – trip to Europe and making new friends – but, many more lows. When I think about it, it becomes clear that the last couple of years […]
When it came time for me to go back to work, the same thought circled my mind again and again; is this the best thing for Ella? So many parents of kids with special needs or different abilities ultimately decide not to work, for any number of reasons. If it had been possible, I would […]
Ask anyone who has known me for years and they’ll tell you that Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. The twinkling lights, stockings hung by the fireplace with care, presents wrapped and under the tree before mid-December, all because of my love of the season. This year; however, I’ve been finding […]
Yesterday, the girls turned 23 months and I can’t believe that in one month I will have two two-year olds!! It doesn’t seem that long ago that I brought home two tiny babies, who were already almost three months old. What really amazes me with the girls are their different personalities, and how fast they […]
