Cycling from London to Paris for charity – I’m living with a MAMIL

December 9, 2012

I had no idea what a MAMIL (middle-aged men in lycra) was until last month when Bikerboy sent me a link of Rosie Millard’s article My Olympic Legacy: a bike-mad husband in The Independent. At that point I felt as if I had joined an undeclared counselling group for wives. Yay! There are others like me, […]

Happy 5th Birthday!

July 18, 2012

The 4 yr old turns 5 today and she’s had an incredible achievement in the last year. Her walking has improved immensely and she only uses her frame during school play time mainly to protect herself against other children running into her. Her determination, smiley disposition and sharp wit will carry her far in life […]

John in Orthotics – the most important person in my 3 year old’s life

February 28, 2011

Today we paid a visit to see John from the orthotics department in my local hospital. The 3 year old needs new inserts in her shoes. Her old ones designed, hand-molded and hand-made by John last September are getting too small. She really enjoys her visits to see John and makes the constant monotonous […]

Living with a mild Cerebral Palsy Child

November 8, 2010

This post originally written in 2010 has become a place for families with children with cerebral palsy and for adults with cerebral palsy to come and share their story. I’ve let the comment box stay open and I’m happy to continuing doing so, giving space for people to voice their concerns/frustrations, but I’m no longer […]
