How Do Moms “Do” a Virtual Symposium?

 We are now four or five months into this very bizarre time of the COVID-19 Pandemic. If you’re like me,  you’re not getting any more used to this “new normal” but rather more than ever, ready for it to be over.While we may be ready to get back to life the way it was pre-COVID, […]

You Are Missed

You know what I miss? You. I miss you. I miss looking into your eyes, I miss tearing up when I try to explain my struggles and listen to yours. I miss smiling with you when I tell you about my adventures and you tell me yours.I’ve been a part of the bleeding disorder community […]

Pay It Forward

“Everyone can be great because everyone can serve.” – MLK Jr. “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” – Mohammed AliVolunteering is gift.

La casa y el salón llenos del virus

 Un plato lleno de virus y un poco de brillantina es todo lo que se necesité para explicar a mis niñas la importancia de lavarse las manos. Cuando mis hijas eran pequeñas enfatizaba fielmente en la importancia de lavarme las manos con agua y jabón. Teniendo en cuenta de que ellas tienen un trastorno de […]

He asistido a algunos cursos, conferencias, y grupos de apoyo que han ayudado mucho en mi […]

Making Memories

 The Infusing Mom bloggers have a set schedule on when articles are due each week. As my date drew near, I believed I had my topic. I had been scrolling through my Facebook feed and noticing pictures of kids whose parents had captured the fun they had that day. My kids are older, and I […]

Prepared But Not Prepared

 As bleeding disorder parents, we are planners. We love to know what, how and when something is headed our way, and we will be prepared. We have been disaster relief preparing since day one. We have hospital/ER bags ready to go at a moment’s notice. Even during this age of smart phones, we have emergency […]
