    Special Needs Families in Ontario Need to Know This Now

    September 27, 2017 /

    Special needs families in Ontario struggle. If you are a special needs parent in Ontario, regardless of the diagnosis, you are struggling in some way. The emotional and physical burdens of parenting a child or youth with special needs, are draining. FULL STOP. Now add financial stress to that. Extra programs, time off work, specialty therapies – all of these cost a lot of money. Sometimes that is literally your grocery money. Other times it is your retirement plan. Financial costs are a huge strain to Ontario special needs families. There are some programs that help. Not everyone knows about them, but you need to know how to access these…

    Stay Fit for Your Fabulous Forties and Beyond #LBL

    June 1, 2016 /

    It’s important to stay fit at any age. It’s even more important for us women after we hit our 40s. After 40, our metabolisms can begin to slow, our ability to burn fat can slow, and we lose more bone mass. Sometimes conditions like LBL (light bladder leakage) can keep you from feeling as if you want to tackle anything physical. But when we make an effort to stay fit as we age, we improve our physical, mental and overall health.   Stay Fit – 5 Easy Ways to Keep Yourself in Better Health   Staying fit doesn’t mean you have to commit to being a full on gym rat every…

    Menopause Series – Part 1 – Perimenopause – Your Changing Body #Health

    March 28, 2016 /

    I went through some of this early because I had a hysterectomy early on in my 30s, actually right before I had my daughters. I like to sometimes share that and see people’s brains trying to put that factual information together. (We adopted our girls. LOL) Anyways, I know a lot of my readers are in my same age bracket and going through this experience right now. I also believe talking about women’s health and fertility/infertility, changes and health care concerns and issues makes it much simpler to handle and find support as needed. With all of that in mind today I am starting my Menopause series with the first…

    YOU NEED this – Caregiver Kick Start #specialneeds

    June 15, 2015 /

    There is nothing quite like attending a conference or a workshop and leaving feeling energized, validated and understood. You know that feeling, right? It’s like a giant sigh of relief and a reminder that this unique parenting is doable. But, then you leave that space and you return to your home. Maybe you maintain that zen approach for 3 days, or a week at most and something happens and you slide right back into that overwhelmed, exhausted state you were in before. How can you get back to that space where you are in control of your feelings and reactions? I have the answer: Caregiver Kick Start! A couple of…
