Bringing up seven kids has led to in depth knowledge of asthma, autism, fetal alcohol syndrome and drug induced developmental delay, immune deficiency and autoimmune disease, ectodermal dysplasia, neonatal death and cardiac defect. Despite all of that, I didn't know I was about to start the ride of my life with the illness of my youngest daughter, Ivy.

Written on May 21, 2009 by TiffandIvy
Today I spoke at the official opening of the Australian Red Cross Year of The Blood Donor. It was very nerve wracking but something I believe in, so, I did it. It’s been a huge week in our house with Imogen in hospital and Ivy and Noah both very unwell, so I’m just going to…

A social balancing act.
Written on April 23, 2009 by TiffandIvy
Yesterday, I went to Sydney, over three hours from home to meet some of my favourite Australian bloggers. It was the first time I had ever done something like it.
