So, first of all, it seems like for the last couple years it has only been the New Year that has brought new posts. And truthfully, I have opened this page multiple times throughout the year and just couldn’t think of anything to write about; however, that will change in this new year with a… Continue reading The End of a Decade! Hello 2020
It must be the time of year… I realized that I didn’t write anything past Connor’s birthday post this year and thinking back as I sit here and write, I know that I didn’t write anything because this year had so much going on – but much of it was not positive – and much… Continue reading 2018 – Time for a NEW YEAR!
As we came up to Mr C’s 3rd birthday, there had been mixed feelings surrounding this, and the previous, birthday as it meant it was the anniversary of the scariest times of my family’s life and a long hospital journey that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Yet I am thankful for the hospital staff that… Continue reading It Started with a Squeak
I don’t know about you, but there have been a number of people that I follow on various social media accounts that have a word for the year.

Ok guys, confession time. I haven’t checked in earlier because I have not done anything… oops. Part of the reason is because last week was just a really hard week. I had a bad headache one day, I had some SUPER hard emotional days (the weather was definitely not helping), and I just really didn’t… Continue reading Check in: 31 Day De-Clutter Challenge
One thing many people don’t realize is just exactly how much training is needed for the care of the trach before you are allowed to go home with your child – I know training right?! Now if only there was training on how to deal with toddler life 😉 — Before you are allowed to… Continue reading You do WHAT?!
This one is short… short because there really isn’t much to say. All that I wanted to share is that it is ok to have bad days. If you are a parent. If you are dealing with mental health issues. If you are an office worker, or a teacher, or anyone at all, it is… Continue reading When you still have bad days
May kicks off Global Tracheostomy Awareness month, with Global Tracheostomy Tube Awareness Week beginning on May 14, 2017. In the realm of Trach life, we have been blessed with a relatively easy time. All trachs are placed as a way to have a secure airway. Some require this medical aid temporarily, others this is a… Continue reading A day in the life…
