So here we are right at the end of the loooong 6 week torture fest I mean school holidays and it has me wondering is it a well earned rest of just too long? Don’t get me wrong the teachers and others definitely deserve the break and I’m not suggesting we shorten it or anythingContinue reading “Summer school holidays-Well earned break or just too long?”

Never look back unless it’s to see how far you’ve come.
As I see social media flooded with comparison photos of their kids starting the start of the school year and last day of the school year today I can’t help but feel on the outter (as most parents of special needs kids do quite often I would think) Some parents are probably reflecting on theContinue reading “Never look back unless it’s to see how far you’ve come.”
The part no one talks about.
There’s something that’s not talked about when it comes to parenting kids with special needs. It’s not talked about at all and it needs to be. Love. Marriage. Relationships. After seeing everyone’s beautiful social media posts on Valentine’s Day I thought about putting up the generic pic of me and hubby but it actually gotContinue reading “The part no one talks about.”
Ups and downs
The ups and downs are exhausting. What I mean by ups and downs is the times where life is going smooth (ok maybe not smooth but at least crunchy). You know, pleasant with a few rough bits. When something has just clicked. I’ve cried many happy tears before when things have been working with Mase.Continue reading “Ups and downs”
Sleeving the old me behind-surgery Day
I couldn’t decide whether to share this or not ( what? The over sharer wasn’t going to overshare? Thats shocking) As you know I’ve struggled with my mental health for 10 years and have had Sleep Apnea that has become quite bad the past couple of years. My constant exhaustion has had a really negativeContinue reading “Sleeving the old me behind-surgery Day”
There once was a young boy who swallowed a battery
It was a Friday morning around 6am when my 7 year old Mason was annoying me with how much energy he had already (ironic) so I told him to go wake his brother so we could start our morning and make it to the bus stop by 7am. Bracing myself for the screams from KaedenContinue reading “There once was a young boy who swallowed a battery”
New year, new diagnosis
I’ve been asked a lot lately why I havnt been doing my blogs. I’m not entirely sure why but I think it’s a combination of reasons. It’s been a crazy start to the year with our oldest Kaeden being diagnosed with focal epilepsy after having his third seizure. In total he had two during hisContinue reading “New year, new diagnosis”
Lockdown with special needs kids
I honestly will never know how I made it through home schooling 2.0. The last day of homeschooling for me was such a bag of emotions. I think mostly because I couldn’t believe I’d made it. There’s nothing worse than going through something insanely difficult and not having a date you know it’ll end. IContinue reading “Lockdown with special needs kids”
Calling ‘000’
In my 30 years of life I’ve had quite a few scary and traumatic nights. My very first memory of a child was the night my Dad died of a massive heart attack. Unfortunately that’s something that I’ll always remember and I relive every time I see an ambulance. I then remember vividly the nightContinue reading “Calling ‘000’”
Social media Vs real life
Lets talk social media and parenting. I’m not going to lie I’m a social media junkie (shocker I know). I use to be an extrovert before I had kids, but my depression and anxiety made me an introvert therefore I find social media amazing because I can still reach out to people and share myContinue reading “Social media Vs real life”
