I love Brazilian Lemonade and used to make it by the bucketload back in college when I was a bartender at a popular Brazilian restaurant. I’ve posted this recipe before, but this time I also infused it with a little basil and it is delicioso. Brazilian lemonade is really easy and it also utilizes my...
It’s a well documented fact that I love No Doubt. A less well known fact is that my favorite No Doubt album is Return of Saturn. Years after their break out hit-maker Tragic Kingdom, Return of Saturn was a rather unexpected come back album. A definite departure from their signautre ska sound Return of Saturn...

Hi–We’re Caitlin and Chad. We’ve been married since 2001. In 2008 we left our homeland of Orange County, California to start a new life in Houston, Texas. Caitlin likes hot yoga, Downton Abbey, and sugar in all its forms. Chad likes running, watching “Cops”, and working on his amazing front lawn. Our son Archer is...
This interview mirrors my thoughts and feelings almost exactly. The mourning, the jealousy and pride, the shame at feeling jealousy and pride, the harsh light shining on all my flaws, the desire to take away the disability but not to go back to my naive former self, etc. Thank you so much for taking the time to share. It made my day.ReplyCancel
Many thanks to these two parents for talking about the detail.
We have a special needs child as well.
I don't feel the jealously, but I do experience each parent shouldering their responsibility and then maybe not sharing their thoughts. I have heard other parents in our situation will go to a counselor and the counselor helps them work on goals together outside the sick child. We haven't done this, but I think it would be amazing.
Thanks again for this column and to these particular parents.
Reading words help me.
Between the fact that this is the rainiest summer I can ever remember and the return of ma’ achin’ back things have been pretty chill around these parts. Last week especially there was a lot of me laying around and saying things like, Go play. Sometimes I’d switch it up and say, You can either go...
wHat you are describing is exactly the way I like to parent– especially while homeschooling my kids, it seems we all do best with a loose schedule of school, chores, quiet time and go-play-so-mommy-can-stay-sane. I'm actually really nervous for these coming months since quite a lot is changing. Miss C will be going to high school, the boys will be going to school 2x a week to prepare for transitioning to public school in 2016-2017, and life in general will be more scheduled as I share parenting w/ my ex-husband. It's scary, and I pray all the time that I can keep things as relaxed and 'normal' for them as possible. ReplyCancel
Well kudos to you for homeschooling…and I really mean it. I really admire moms who homeschool. But WOW–some big changes coming your way. Well, of course I knew about some of them already, but the schooling changes sound like a big deal in their own right. Good luck with all you've got going on… I don't pretend to know how difficult and crazy this all is, but I'm really excited for your new life. 🙂ReplyCancel
this is totally my parenting philosophy as well. children have wonderful imaginations and should learn to use them. i love the downtime we get in summer. we do go to the pool every afternoon, but other than that, we pretty much hang out at home and in the backyard, with a few fun outings here and there (usually when someone else invites us).

I'm pretty laid back when it comes to parenting my three-and-a-half year old. She does one registered activity a season (typically alternating between dance and swimming), although we're not doing anything at the moment because it's summer and I don't want to be tied to a schedule. Once she starts kindergarten this fall we'll take a break from activities, as it's a full-day program in Ontario and I want to give her some breathing room as she adjusts to a new routine. Our other major weekly events include church and family swimming. Our summer plan is chill: no activities, no camps, and the one "big" trip has already come and gone (a week in New Brunswick). We do have a summer bucket list on our dining room wall. Most of the things on the list are pretty basic: go berry picking, play mini-golf, visit a different park every week, make ice cream. That sort of thing. I'm not sure how things will change as my daughter grows up. I want her to participate in something athletic and something artistic, and I figure that learning to skate, swim, and ride a bike are mandatory in Canada. But aside from that, I like to follow her pace and interests, and go with the flow!ReplyCancel
In honor of the concert I’m (hopefully) attending tonight (if my back holds out) today’s Music Monday is all about Band of Horses. This band has been on my concert bucket list for years. They just happen to be opening up for Neil Young and to some I know it’s a little blasphemous to be...

Lucy was diagnosed with non ketotic Hyperglycinemia a month after she was born. We were told she was only supposed to live a week so take her home and enjoy her. Well. I sure am enjoying her! Everyday Lucy makes me laugh, remember what life’s about, and love so hard my heart might really come...
A photo from just now when I let the girls go play in the rain with popsicles… You guys, my back… my freaking back! It went out again. But ‘out’ I mean it feels like I re-herniated the disk or perhaps herniated a new one. I’m not sure how this is possible as I was...
I can keep it positive! I had serious back issues after my 1st was born and since she was only 3 weeks at the time and I was nursing, I couldn't take any strong pain meds. I lived in extreme pain for a long time. I worked on the issue (a slipped disc) through pilates and PT. I didn't do any medical procedures beyond PT. It came back once or two over the next year or two, which was really hard for me to accept. I felt like it was something I'd never be free of. I felt like I was always making decisions of what I could or couldn't do based on my back. I just recently I was realizing that I rarely worry about my back these days. Ok, it's several years later, but still…I can lift heavy things, I can bend down, I can sleep on "bad" beds – all without worrying about my back. So, all this to say I think you are doing the right things and don't lose hope. I know how difficult it in the moment, believe me. It was so hard and depressing at the time. But, this won't rule your life forever.
So good to hear Suzanne! I've definitely had pain on and off since this first occurred in November, but I didn't expect another set back like this. Good to hear you can still make a full recovery! Thank you! And yes I totally relate–the past year I've made TONS of decisions revolving around my back. Even when it's been fine….crazy how one thing can dominate your life. ReplyCancel
When my daughter was only a year old, I had five discs herniate or rupture. I had no surgeries or shots, but did physical therapy with spinal decompression. The spinal decompression helped tremendously, so I got an inversion table to use at home. I now get monthly massages. It has been two years, but I have no pain and full range of motion (I never thought I'd have that again without pain!) I am always careful to lift correctly, but I lift and carry my three year old all the time. I feel like my back will always be a consideration, but I am able to do everything I want to do and have a great excuse not to do any heavy lifting!ReplyCancel
I don't know what I did to my back, but ever since pregnancy it's very easy for it to start hurting, some times more than others. I've found that spin class helps tremendously because I'm bent over and building that lower back strength. It's a preventative, though, not a treatment. If I miss more than two weeks of classes I'm usually paying for it. I use ice in that case. And any help offered by friends or family. And lots of prayers!ReplyCancel

My two humble suggestions: (1) a very firm mattress; and (2) acupuncture. I was not a believer in the latter until I tried it and it has been so helpful for my back! A good acupuncture practitioner will provide other lifestyle suggestions that will be more detailed and tailored to you than what a doctor likely has time to discuss with you. Also, with all the caveats of not knowing your specific case/doctor/preferences/etc, I would put in my two cents to say that I would try to avoid back surgery for as long as possible. Back surgery is a pretty inexact treatment option, it has some real risks, and, perhaps most practically speaking, has relatively low success rates for reducing pain. I'm from a family of doctors, so I'm definitely not whole-cloth against surgery or medical intervention; backs in particular are just pretty dicey when it comes to surgery.ReplyCancel
YES! Did it in March and WHOA! It felt like I was in labor–for WEEKS and without the cool prize at the end! I herniated a disc and it was pressing on my spinal nerve. Pain in my legs was SO bad I couldn't walk. I was scheduled for an injection but the pain meds were working enough that I did not want to go that route unless absolutely necessary. Oral steriods did NOTHING and the tramadol made me vomit so I had something called Etodolac which is basically a high powered Advil. It worked enough for me to function. Took a good 6 weeks but it did heal (knock on wood). I was told it would most likely re-occur and do do what I could to strengthen my core. I live in FEAR of that kind of pain again!!!ReplyCancel
I love Alexis' suggestions and wholeheartedly agree with all of them while adding good chiropractic care. Find a good chiropractor you can really trust and believe in and it makes all the difference in the world.
Double check the side effects of cortisone shots…they can actually cause increased arthritis at the injection site as you age.

I have multiple issues going on with my spine, osteoarthritis from bad posture and a hideously fitted bra prior to my breast reduction, Ehler-Danos Syndrome (hypermobility only it seems) and Fibromyalgia. Nothing fully relieves the pain, but chiropractic care is extremely helpful as is frequent massage. I actually joined a national gym just for the water massage table, and use it most days.
With the osteoarthritis and EDS, steroid injections are not allowed. They do far too much harm, plus EDS means they aren't effective really.
Try a back support band also, if your doctor is ok with it. You can become overly dependant on them, but my back riots without so I started with one. I still have to be careful with lifting and moving, but I can lift 20 pounds now easily when I could barely lift 5 before. ReplyCancel
Late reply, I'm not caught up on blogs yet! I had to have spinal surgery on my back for two herniated discs when I was 10 weeks pregnant with Briella. My nerves were compressed and any other treatment option was not the safest for the baby (or did not have enough proof that it would help the excruciating pain I was in, I couldn't even walk). Surgery did pretty much fix the problem, but nerve injuries rarely recover fully so I'm still weaker on that side, and have more muscle spasms/fatigue etc. I don't regret having the surgery, if it wasn't for that I would have missed my brother's wedding which was a 15+ hour flight away!ReplyCancel
I was born with a capillary tumor in my lumbar/sacral region. It ruptured when I was 18 while swinging a golf club. After 4 years of throwing out my back every few months, I had surgery to cauterize the tumor. You'd think that would have solved the problem. It didn't. While it was better, I still would throw out my back every year. I finally went to see a chiropractor that does traction and acupuncture. Best decision ever! He uses traction to properly position the spine. I had been holding myself in a twisted manner and would get killer headaches all the time. It's been almost a year and I haven't had a headache and my lower back feels great! I'm still mindful of how I turn, lift etc. but I don't have "that feeling" in my lower back anymore. He also recommended decreasing grains in my diet as they can cause inflammation. I rarely eats grains so that might be a component as well. I also agree with the person that recommended a firm mattress. I do hope you find a solution! ReplyCancel
I have had back issues since high school. I had two rounds of cortisone epidurals in college. They helped immensely and left me pain free for the first time in years. The only issue I had (and this happens in less than .1% of cases, go me) was that the steroid went systemic, and I had the typical steroid issues (stacked cheeks, acne, increased appetite, weight gain) for a few months. I wasn't able to have shots again after knowing how my body reacted. I like good, well trained chiropractors though I will never let them adjust my neck. I had to stop the athletic activities that led to my back injuries in the first place, and while I am sore occasionally, my back is no longer a huge issue. I also think I was diagnosed with bulging discs. Find a REALLY good physical therapist/orthopedist. They changed my life. ReplyCancel
