Mummy Confession: I’m not entirely panicking about being stuck at home with the kids. In fact, I rather enjoy the time spent together without too much of a schedule. Times happen in our lives when we may be a little isolated, or unable to get out and about as much as we would like. In times where it may be difficult or impossible to get out of the house (or out too much in public), it’s great to have some ideas and resources. In light of the current situation, I’ve included multiple resources which are available to parents as well Read More

Back to School Photos, the Internet and Social Media: What You Need to Know

How Life Has Changed Since My May-Thurner Syndrome Diagnosis
Mummy Confession: I’m not certain much is different, as life seems to have moved on. A new normal will just have to be normal for now! It’s been three months since I had a stent placed in a collapsed vein. Three months since I woke from surgery with pain registering on the scale of 9-10 and had to slowly wean off of painkillers when the pain became a bit more manageable. Three months of wearing compression stockings, taking daily blood thinners and sleeping restlessly during the night with a pillow propped between my legs. Three months where I feel so Read More
