I knew my little ones were talented but now I know they are down right geniuses. Today Kaitlyn informed me that she speaks cat and owl and Lexi speaks Zombie. Never a dull moment…

Yesterday Bobby and I went out to find the local Albino Red-tailed Hawk, which we did! We had incredible close views of this gorgeous...

Misadventures of Little Red/Winter Tales So the holidays were approaching fast, and impatient to get the decorations and tree down from the attic I declined the invitation to wait until the family returned from a grocery trip and decided to just go it alone. Big mistake. Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house… nothing was stirring… well, nothing except for Little Red’s Mumma, who was perched precariously on the top of a ladder wedged in the attic opening. T

The Adventures of Mister LOL... We LOVE a Sassy Cat.

So, as we start the day, my daughter asks for a cold glass of water upon arising. Okay, simple enough. But, how can I pour a cold glass...

My Mum asked if I would help her organise the thousands of photos she has managed to accrue over the years which now seem to fall from every drawer, desktop and nook throughout her home. Being the ever helpful daughter I am, I loaded up several boxes into my car confident that I would get them sorted in no time what so ever. A week later the boxes sat untouched on my living room floor until I could put it off no longer. Grabbing a handful from the nearest box, I started to tr

Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins Thanks to our Recipe Queen, Anita Stafford, you can spend some quality ‘kitchen/cooking’ time with the kids...

Another fall from grace. I dread getting blindsided by suffering…any suffering! Even the kind where you smack your little toe against furniture. It unsettles every bone in my body as I go from cloud 9 to somewhere near the end of a black hole in the galaxy. I have not yet established the same kind of support system I have in the U.S. So when any sort of emotional crisis occurs (and this is only my second one, mind you) I am often unable to reach loved ones because of time dif

I vividly remember a courtroom scenario that the Judge, the jury, and myself began laughing out loud. The final arguments were being...

DacsMommy, Special Needs I will remember that i am more than “just” a special needs Mother. I will appreciate the dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep. I will do something just for myself and not feel guilty. I will forgive the person that stared rudely at my child. I will not worry about the future and things i can not control. I will take my anger and redirect it into something positive. I will not be discouraged or emotional. I will eat ice cream straight out of t
