This morning at school we held a cake sale for Children in Need. The children are all wearing spotty clothes and they will do some fun activities to raise money to help children who really need it. I am so thankful that I have 2 healthy children. Yes, they have both had their problems but [...]

Being thankful
Posted: 18 November 2011 in About me, Health, Katie, Positivity, Robyn, Thankful Friday0
I came across this picture from here this evening. I saved it to my laptop and then opened it in paint so that I could circle the characteristics that Katie shows. I ended up circling all but one of them! Very very interesting. Since recognising Katies needs we are coping with her so much better. [...]
Quick update on Katie… We got to the child development unit and immediately bumped into the Portage manager who has been so lovely. She was really pleased to see Katie and told her colleague who we were… she was lovely too. She said she had typed up all of Katies notes the other day and [...]
Today someone said to me ”Wow! How much weight have you lost?!”. I hadn’t seen this person for a good few weeks and she said I looked fab. For me to be able to reply “I’ve lost a stone!” was wonderful, really great! We also had a meeting today all about Katie. We discussed what will [...]
Best of 2009: New Person
Posted: 20 December 2009 in Best of 2009, KatieTags: #best09, speech therapy
For me the best new person of 2009 was Heather. Heather is (or was) Katies speech therapist. When the health visitor upset me back in February the only great thing that she did was to advise us to go to the drop in clinic that is run by a speech therapist. We went along because although the [...]
On Tuesday my baby girl turned 3. We had a really wonderful day! We gave her a Baby Annabell doll which has been a huge hit. Nanny & Grandad have got her a pram for her to go in for Christmas! She was at playgroup in the morning and we sent in a birthday cake [...]
The biggest challenge of 2009 in general has been Katie. As I mentioned before, she is more than a handful. She is like a whirlwind. We call her “Springer” as we were once talking about where we could meet up with a friend and we specified it really needed to be somewhere that Katie could [...]
I have spent alot of 2009 wishing Katie would just be a good girl! When she has a temper tantrum it is off the scale. She totally knows how to press the right buttons which are guaranteed to make me lose my patience. In September though Katie started at playgroup. I remember that first afternoon that she was gone so [...]
I confess to not reading enough this year. I think a new years resolution will be to read more. I’m quite ashamed that I am struggling to think of a book that is worthy to go under this post! I have decided to choose a book (well, a poem really) that made me cry with joy [...]
Think Positive

Today has been pretty horrible. Anthony’s job is under threat. For regular readers of my blog you will know he was out of work for over 18mths until September. To say this is bad news is an understatement. A wise friend of mine told me this: “Try to concentrate on what you want rather than what you don’t [...]
