Where Families are Blossoming
Born out of two shared hearts, minds and similarly-felt experiences (and created via a big push from my webmaster extraordinaire Diane), this Kindle book was developed by Marianne and I based off of our successful Disability or Different Abilities 2-part Teleseminar held earlier this year. After creating and co-presenting the Teleseminar, we received lots of feedback that helped Marianne and I realize that what we were sharing touched a … [Read more...]
Date night! All of the relationship gurus say that couples with kids should have one or several date nights! Our 7th wedding anniversary is coming up this weekend and my husband and I are following their advice and are going on a date! Woo-hoo!! During the day - huh? Does this still count relationship people?? In my book it does - and even if it didn't, we're going anyway. We came up with this idea earlier this year … [Read more...]
In school, Alejandro has just begun to be exposed to the concept of spelling - understanding that the letters he's learning makes up actual words - and like a bee to honey, he is all over it. Only problem is the word he's saying and how he is spelling it are like night and day, oil and water, chalk and cheese - you get my drift. The two are not similar by any stretch of the imagination because Alejandro can't spell yet - but he doesn't know … [Read more...]
No Fretting! That's my new personal motto and one that I'm hoping you will take on as well. Almost all parents feel some type of guilt on some level at varying points along their parenting journeys. "Did I do or say the right thing?" "Am I doing the best for my child?" "Is my child happy?" and the list goes on and on. For those of us who are parents of children born early and/or who have special needs, this feeling can be … [Read more...]
"Mommy, he's blind" ... yelled the little girl while pointing at my son Alejandro as we walked past her at the swimming pool. My heart stung for a split second. Did Alejandro hear her? If he did, did he know that she was talking about him? We were rushing to the pool for his weekly swimming lesson and Alejandro was so excited about seeing 'Leche' (the nickname Alejandro has given his instructor) - that I'm not so sure the girl's … [Read more...]
Today, Thursday the 17th November, is (drum roll please) the first-ever World Prematurity Day!!! To highlight this very special day, March of Dimes (March of Dimes) and its global partners want to saturate the World Wide Web and show how widespread and prevalent the instances of babies born prematurely really are. More importantly and personally, they want to honor the 1 million babies worldwide who were born prematurely and who died this … [Read more...]
This month's quote: "We become what we think about all day long." Ralph Waldo Emerson So much has been happening in my world, both personally as well as behind the scenes of Families Blossoming, over this past month, that I have often felt like a dog chasing my tail (mentally and physically). At times, I truly didn't know if I was coming or going but rather felt like my inner autopilot was working overtime! I've had a continuous barrage … [Read more...]
Today - June 22nd - was my 40th Birthday!! and I am embracing this new decade with my arms wide, wide open! Today has been so wonderful for me on so many levels and it was largely spent with me basking in the love, happiness and hugs of my hubby, son and family and friends from all over this beautiful world. I have been a bit surprised at how emotional (in a good way) I have been all day and it has also caused me to reflect a bit on my life thus … [Read more...]
