I’ve started a new job that has me working slightly different hours, so the kids get home before I do. Sometimes, I forget how big my kids are now. I looked at Raegan during dinner tonight, and I didn’t see a baby – I saw a little girl. My breath was taken from me for […]
When you have a preemie, there are usually a couple days that float in your mind; the day your baby should have been born, and the day they actually were. With mono mono twins, there’s even more days that always stay with me; their 40 week due date, their scheduled c section date, their birthday, […]
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 […]

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, […]
Despite what people believe, when the clock strikes twelve January first, the past is not immediately forgotten or erased; a new year begins, but not with a clean slate. We unfortunately do not live in a romantic comedy where that ball drop leads to the love of our life, the answer to our problems, a […]
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 […]
