It’s been so buzy around our house the past weeks, not in a way I am particularly fond of but we continue trying to make the best of things. This morning, as Lloyd worked hard to get the house in order, sweeping, doing dishes & laundry and while I worked hard on an article I am [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]
We were on out way home from the Brooks Street playground but first, I spotted a rock outside the fence and asked the kids to sit so I could get a shot (I stopped buying the school protraits because of the cost/value of their packages and the fact that they didn’t seem to bother with [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]
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]
So, we ended up making our toilet paper puppets instead of the pipe cleaner creatures although I did show Emeraude a quick version of the pipe cleaner creatures while Lloyd was in the grocery store and we were waited in the van and she agreed that it is a definete must-do for another day :).

This is a really easy one. Be careful of course with the kettle… You can add almost any fruit to Jell-O but pineapple and, hmmm… I forget the other but they are listed on the box. We were making strawberry jelly and opted to add sliced bananas in ½ the batch and fruit cups (x2) [Read more]
It has been a long, complicated frustrated week but as usual, my children kept me focused and on getting back on my feet no matter what. I have had alot of difficulty sleeping and so the blog has suffered. I hope to catch up on posting the major events of the week this weekend but [Read more]
Posting photos for now, will try and fill in the story later as time permits (and pain levels… having a worse than usual day for pain). [Read more]
Though I have to be aware of how much physical activity I do, I have come to realize that in regards to living with multiple sclerosis it does not seem to generally make a difference as to fatigue or pain levels afterwards. Having said that, keep in mind that no two people diagnosed with multiple [Read more]
Notre jardinage continue de progresser tellement bien, Emeraude en est très fière (moi aussi d’abord). Les concombres fleurit un peu plus à tous les jours (des belles grosses fleures jaunes)… Je ne me rappelle plus si les concombres vont pousser ou il y a des fleures comme les haricots on [Read more]
