It was an incredibly long day and, after all the craziness, Emeraude was not up to playing soccer. She asked to stay home and I obliged agreeing that she had done enough for one day (and had way more patience than any 4 year old should need). This of course did not mean that she was [Read more]
I needed an activity that didn’t require any physical ability and very little cognitive ability (when I am in a lot of pain, it can be difficult to concentrate so activities that don’t have many rules or steps are great) and Emeraude received so many beautiful and educational gifts for [Read more]
Emeraude won a bubble kit from the Firefighter’s Challenge the other night (thank you Jackie for being so warm & helpful! & Thanks also to Jen for your help so I could work, now I just cross my fingers that it wasn’t for nothing); she had been admiring this very kit for some [Read more]
It is always encouraging to know that people are reading, every week I check my blogès stats and am happy to watch as readership continues on a slow but steady rise… Tonight I was checking my stats, which include information about where visitors to my blog have come from and was flattered [Read more]
Saturday, we begun working on yet another piñata! Emeraude is a HUGE fan of piñatas, and any occasion will do – we made our 1st (I think) at Christmas for her Nursery School and then another at Easter. After much debate over the past few weeks, Emeraude finally decided that this one would [Read more]
I’m back… I was an hour early, my pain seemed at the point that it must be time and so the math made sense (I wanted it to be time and wasn’t paying enough attention counting to four lol). I had called Vickie (I would never do so late at night but she had told me [Read more]
Carrott pecan cupcakes & Carrott raising cupcakes Mmmm! We iced them different colours to tell which were which (pain, pecan or raisin) and then shared a bunch at the hospital, a few with Vickie, a few with Mom & Dad and brought some (not pecan) to the family place on Tuesday. Didn’t [Read more]
It has been another very long day. I had such severe pain as I came near my 4 hr injection times it was hard to deal with (mostly tireing and frustrating that I had to go to the hospital as I now know I have other options that should be made available to me and [Read more]
MANITOUWADGE COMMUNITY MEMORIAL GARDEN PROJECT Comments & Questions… I have yet to learn how to add the option of commenting on static pages (the pages which never change and are listed just below the header) I am adding this ‘post’ for you to use for any comments & [Read more]
Pipe Cleaner Fun This afternoon, when Emeraude would normally take her nap, we settled on my bed with a mountain of pipe cleaners and worked on the craft I had found from MarthaStewart.com the other day. The instructions were very clear, definitely a fine motor development activity, and tons [Read more]
We went to the playground behind Graham (street) tonight and had a blast. We laughed too hard, played shark (some of that in the photos), boating, loved every minute of the silliness! Both the kids were so much fun. We went to the Petro after and bought gummy bear twisters (Lloyd & Emeraude) [Read more]
Emeraude & I transplanted some of our seedlings today. Though they all need to be done, to keep it enjoyable we only do as much as each of us is up to. We transplanted 3 squares (with 9 compartments each with a seed or two planted originally for the most part) of radishes and a [Read more]
Today was crazy… Too much time wasted at the hospital and without any good reason (mix ups and miscommunications ruled my day which can be extremely frustrating, thankfully the nurse who was working Friday evening is very patient and sweet). So, when I was finally able to get to the [Read more]
