“I Do”. The lead up to our wedding day was like monsoon season, it rained non-stop. It was a welcome surprise to wake on Saturday to a beautiful sunny day, not a cloud in the sky. With all the hype that comes with such a day, I made it a priority to find some […]
I tried to find something that hadn’t changed, something that since Chiara’s diagnosis, still felt relatively the same. Yet I didn’t get far, truth is everything looks different now. That’s probably because everything is different. I can’t look at a pregnant woman, or a new family, or a tiny weeny baby without seeing something so […]

As I sat there, holding Chiara (my then, 5 month old baby), I was told ‘to prepare myself for a severely disabled child’, that Chiara had a serious brain-injury […]
Yesterday we did our organic food shop, it always astounds me the amount of food we go through in a week, but then again each of Chiara’s meals is jam-packed with as many nutrients as possible to help feed her brain and body. We rotate the food she eats daily and when I look into […]
