    Are Flip Flops Bad for Your Feet?

    July 10, 2019 /

    Flips flops are a staple in everyone’s summer wardrobe. True story – my kids have been buying these on their own for years. Who can blame them? They are inexpensive and easy to toss on and also cute. Once I wrote about the time my older girl zip lined through Puerto Vallarta rain forest wearing flip flops. Oh so popular during the summer months and when you go on holidays, flip flops are inexpensive and easy to pack. It’s no wonder people love this popular form of footwear. They are easy and flexible and they scream beach vacation. But Are They Good, or Bad, For Feet? Formerly reserved for the…

    Learning Your Baby Has a Club Foot – Guest Post

    March 5, 2016 /

    This is Part 2 in a series of posts about a Club Foot Diagnosis. Another Canadian Blogger and Mom, Crystal shares her family’s clubfoot journey. When we were pregnant with our son Mason, we found out via ultrasound that he could be born with a clubbed foot. When he was 10 days old he began treatments with a series of casts, minor surgery and then shoes on a brace treatment that was to last the first 3-4 years of his life. You can read all about our journey in the series of posts that I have written which starts here. The final leg of the treatment was the longest, from…

    Five Reasons I Love Vionic Shoes

    August 2, 2014 /

    I hurt my foot two days ago. It was a sad, silly home office injury. Someone was at the door and I raced to answer it and in doing so, I wiped out right at the door to my office where the carpet meets the ceramic floor tile. Somehow my toes, the side of my foot and my knee took the brunt of the trauma. Naturally I still managed to answer the door. But my foot hurt like mad and even now it is still very bruised. The thing is you never realize how important feet are until you hurt them. So I hobbled around and swam for a bit…

    An Ode to Toes – Siblings of Special Needs Children

    June 20, 2009 /

    Parents of children with special needs live on a planet most other people wouldn’t even want to visit, not even for a stopover flight. So constant are the stresses on these families that many break down. It’s hard to stay healthy when a child consumes everything, financially and emotionally. Stresses on siblings of special needs children run high too. Stresses on Special Needs Families I ran across a statistic recently that indicated 85 % of families who have children with special needs break down. It’s a stunning statistic that ought to make everyone – including government, social services and education – stand up and take note. When they are done…
