How do you sum up a part of your story that has transformed you and left you a new person in 5 minutes or less? How do you share an intimate part of yourself with a group of strangers and tell them what something important means to you in 5 minutes or less? I haveContinue reading “I don’t have a clue!”

The Dragon Slayer
Last night, I enjoyed a date night with Joshua. We made the trek to the ACC (no small feat in last nights traffic – more on that later) and watched the Leafs tie the game up before Josh announced that it was ‘home – now’ and proceeded to get out of his seat and leave.Continue reading “The Dragon Slayer”
Happy Heart Day
Joshua – 19 weeks Once upon a time, in a world not so far away. Valentines day meant chocolates and flowers, romantic dinners and beautiful words written in a Hallmark card. It was nice, I think on it fondly and we still celebrate in this house, with cards and small gifts that show that weContinue reading “Happy Heart Day”
No, it’s not fixed.
Josh and the big sister of another Heart Warrior who befriended him during his last surgery Today I have some ‘Mummy’ time, a rare treat but one that I relish in. Yet as I sit here I find myself researching for CHD awareness month. I read one heart Mom talk about about what CHD meansContinue reading “No, it’s not fixed.”

‘bad baby, baby bad’
In a few days Josh will turn four years old, a celebration that fills me with joy. As I prepare for his birthday party tomorrow I can’t help but look back at the pictures of the past four years. Josh, who wanted to see the pictures too, quickly joined me on my lap as weContinue reading “‘bad baby, baby bad’”
Decisions
It would seem that just when life is settling into a comfortable routine, parenting takes a new turn. On Friday we had our first (of many I am sure) parent/teacher interviews. It was fun, Tim and I went for a quick lunch and then headed in feeling somewhat nostalgic, knowing that his was a bigContinue reading “Decisions”

The broken tree
Today the Christmas tree came down… It’s always been a let down to take out the ornament boxes and pack up the tree but this year I had Josh doing everything in his power to stop me. I would take an ornament down and he would try to put it back on saying ‘tree prettyContinue reading “The broken tree”
