Thankfully, my friend Christine came to the rescue with this post idea! Not only does Christine have a terminally ill step son, she also has an autistic daughter. Check out her awesome blog at the Cupcake Bandits (after this post, obviously!) Dear Cheryl: If I could tell you some things that I have learned in…

Gourmet baby from the getgo…
Do you cook seperate for someone in the family? Do they have special dietary restrictions or needs? My son has a dairy allergy. I say an allergy because it appears that if we avoid it all together we have a sweeter life. We’ve never had an official test, but doctor’s have said why test you…
Break on Through, To the Other Side
Lately, as much as I love this writing gig, I’m lost as to what to write about. I set about asking my wonderful facebook friends what they thought I should write about. Thankfully, 2 of my friends came to my rescue. (Do you have anything you’d like me to post about?! Let me know!) So,…
My kid is in a wheelchair
I know, shocking right? If you’ve been here before or on my own blog, this will come as no surprise. I’m also a blogger (really, Cheryl. Way to state the obvious) and sometimes I get free products (or tickets) for events as compensation for writing about it. I got to take the girls to Toy…

Where Red Tape Makes me Lose my Mind
I’m finally on the mend after the weirdest virus/cold I’ve never had! Thankfully, I learned well from my girls and I decided to share with them. In all honesty, I really need to teach them what IS appropriate to share and what isn’t. And I should probably take that lesson myself. Since Jillian was born,…
Is that too much to ask?
This week my husband’s grandmother passed away. She was 93 year old, never took more than a multi-vitamin in her life. She did however, several years back, begin her journey with Alzheimer’s Disease. It was a long journey, spending 10 years in a nursing home. She had 5 children, 12 grandchildren…and so many great grand…
Reflections In Spring…We’ve Come A Long Way
How are we doing? It’s on my mind. Not for any particular reason except that spring is around the corner, and this is the kind of thought process I go through each spring. You see, spring is a time of renewal and while others clean, which I might find a way to get my hands…
I swear…
I had a good post started. On botox and our next round of treatment with Jillian. However, I am down and out with one of the worst viruses I’ve ever had and I’m putting myself in bed. This will make 3 early bedtimes for me. I am totally hoping and crossing all my appendages that…
The “Ick”
We have been part of the “Ick” people. We try SO hard not to get anything. To not be exposed to any others that are sick, have been sick recently, or that have been exposed to sick. I know impossible. But we really do try to stay germ free. Then it HIT and it didn’t…
