Looking for a Mother’s Day gift idea for someone Looking for a Mother’s Day gift idea for someone - like maybe yourself? 😉 I absolutely love this collection of essays from Canadian mom (and fellow Today’s Parent, Parents Canada and SavvyMom writer) @erinpepler. She had me laughing (and relating big time) with lines like, “While epidurals aren’t for everyone, I will tell you this: they are for me” and, when sharing her lack of enthusiasm for imaginary play, “If you hand me a toy figurine, I will hold it with the awkward charm of a man buying a box of tampons for his wife.” While full of humour, the essays also cover serious ground like maternal anxiety, the dark hole of social media comparisons and “why mommy drinks” culture. Each one is also short enough that even if you just have a few minutes a day to read for pleasure you can easily finish one in a sitting (and the book is small enough to fit in your purse or diaper bag!) Congrats to Erin on making it through labour and delivery of her book baby - I highly recommend it! (And I think she would approve that I read most of it while taking time to myself cuddled up under this nice fuzzy blanket.)
Every picture tells a story. That’s the theme of Every picture tells a story. That’s the theme of our spring @rmh_foundation fundraising campaign launching today, and our goal is a new MRI machine for residents of Kawartha Lakes and beyond! You can watch for another letter from me in your mailboxes, this time in collaboration with Dr. Mario Voros, Chief of Radiology at RMH. (Have you ever done a photo shoot with someone three minutes after meeting them? “Now talk to each other…now look at each other and smile!” Thankfully the smiling wasn’t hard to do when discussing the excellent care I’ve received at the Ross - and the fact that I have now been cancer-free for a year!) Link in bio if you’re interested in supporting this very worthy cause, and it always makes my day to hear from anyone who has donated, no matter the amount! ❤️

Today was mammogram day! I am one year post-treatm Today was mammogram day! I am one year post-treatment for breast cancer, and it was time for a followup. While I had no reason to suspect any issues, once you've been hit with bad news you know it can, in fact, happen to you, so while I wouldn't say I was worried, I also wasn't 100% confident. (Have you heard the term "scanxiety"? It's a real thing.) Thanks to Dianne, the fantastic mammogram tech/Breast Health Navigator at Ross Memorial Hospital for being so kind and supportive, and for taking this great shot that just perfectly hides my smushed right breast. Does a mammogram hurt? I can honestly say no, that's not my experience. Maybe I am happy to be uncomfortable for the sake of clear imaging, but there was no pain. Because my breasts are classified as "extremely dense", it's possible a mammogram could miss something, and I was grateful the radiologist came to speak to me afterwards and suggested that moving forward, I may want my annual mammograms to be the "contrast-enhanced" type (which combines 3D Tomosynthesis digital mammography with an IV-administered contrast agent) just for peace of mind. While officially I have to wait for my doctor to share today's results with me, I didn't sense any concerns from the radiologist so I am assuming I'm all clear unless I hear differently. How about you - have you started getting mammograms? If so, what has your experience been like? If not, is anything holding you back? Always happy to answer questions if I can be of help!
