Good Craigslist PCAs an oxymoron?
by on April 9, 2013
It all used to work so great. If one of my PCAs had to move onto greener pastures, I'd go on Craigslist, place an ad and bam, get 20 - 50 replies just like that. But lately, I have no idea what's happening. It's not working like it used to. [..}
Spring cleaning – a necessary evil
by on March 26, 2013
Dust mites dwelling in cat hair under my bed, a half eaten banana in my fridge, keeping one too many items on my kitchen counter ('clutter' apparently), spring cleaning (thanks to help from my mom and sister) is a necessary evil I can now scratch off my 2013 check-list, and boy it was not a pretty [..}

Animals and wheelchairs: Cute-ifying disability
by on February 19, 2013
The way humans perceive disability is....confusing. In the real world, able-bodied people never think of people with disabilities as cute. Sometimes, sure, the news will profile us as a puff piece, but generally speaking, people with disabilities are never considered "cute." So, what's with the [..}
My favorite adapted cooking gadgets
by on November 21, 2012
Holy cow. Thanksgiving is nearly here, which means Christmas will be here before we know it. What do the holidays mean to you? For some they represent family, for others it’s the vacation time and for me? It's all about the food. Don’t get me wrong, I love to cook all year round, but I really [..}
Save a buck with DIY adaptive products
by on November 7, 2012
I would love to see Red Green do an episode on adaptive products. If you have no idea who I’m talking about, he's a goofy Canadian guy on TV who's addicted to DIY fixes. Duct tape is his best friend, and he refuses to go to anybody for anything he needs. He makes everything. [..}
Caroline is my kind of fighter!
by on October 24, 2012
I was lamenting not being able to move my fingers the other day, and then I ran across Caroline Lanctot. When she was 10 months old, she was in a car accident that left her a ventilator-dependent quadriplegic. Caroline is now in 5th grade, and she has pulled me out of a dark place. It's too easy [..}
