The Cleft of the Matter: Reading
http://thecleftofthematter.blogspot.com/2014/07/reading.html
Sometimes an introspection. Sometimes a vent. Maybe entertaining. Maybe thought provoking. Always my life. Friday, July 18, 2014. So, a few months ago I got an app by Hooked on Phonics for Miss Sunshine. I can't say enough fantastic things about this app. Miss Sunshine loves getting to "play" on the tablet, and I love that she's learning while playing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Cleft of the Matter: August 2015
http://thecleftofthematter.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sometimes an introspection. Sometimes a vent. Maybe entertaining. Maybe thought provoking. Always my life. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Change is in the air. So, I have failed miserably at keeping active on this blog. One of the main reasons is that I rarely use my laptop these days, and the mobile user interface I find a little less than user friendly. But I'm trying! Lots of updates for you all - many of you probably already know this but I'm writing the updates anyway. Links to this post. He's a bit of a k...

http://thecleftofthematter.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sometimes an introspection. Sometimes a vent. Maybe entertaining. Maybe thought provoking. Always my life. Saturday, September 13, 2014. Life has been crazy the last few weeks. Oh, who am I kidding? It's been crazy for years now. But if it works for me, I'm happy to share it with everyone else, too! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Taking a little time out of my totally crazy, part-time working, full-time studenting, stay-at-home-mommying life, to try and write all our adventures down!

The Cleft of the Matter: Perpetually late
http://thecleftofthematter.blogspot.com/2015/01/perpetually-late.html
Sometimes an introspection. Sometimes a vent. Maybe entertaining. Maybe thought provoking. Always my life. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Being late is one of my biggest pet peeves. And yet, I don't think I ever manage to be on time for anything except flights and doctors appointments. I'm so frequently late that I'm overly worried about missing a flight or an appointment so I'm always terribly early and stuck dealing with annoyed kids as a result. Waiting in the airport before our last Shriner's trip. Monst...

The Cleft of the Matter: January 2014
http://thecleftofthematter.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sometimes an introspection. Sometimes a vent. Maybe entertaining. Maybe thought provoking. Always my life. Sunday, January 26, 2014. Miss Sunshine turns five years old next week. I can't believe she is FIVE already. This also means that we just passed the four year mark on her palate repair surgery. Four years since the longest, scariest day of my life. And will likely always be that way - a residual of her struggle to gain weight in the first year of life due to her cleft. Links to this post. She is our...

The Cleft of the Matter: Princess fever
http://thecleftofthematter.blogspot.com/2014/07/princess-fever.html
Sometimes an introspection. Sometimes a vent. Maybe entertaining. Maybe thought provoking. Always my life. Monday, July 14, 2014. Miss Sunshine is obsessed with princesses. If she's not in her school uniform, she's in a princess dress. In fact, she was reduced to tears earlier today when Daddy Mac informed her she needed to take her princess dress off so he could wash it. A happy child who loves themselves? And the truth is - she is beautiful. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Cleft of the Matter: November 2014
http://thecleftofthematter.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sometimes an introspection. Sometimes a vent. Maybe entertaining. Maybe thought provoking. Always my life. Sunday, November 30, 2014. An Elephant in the room. There are things nobody talks about. I don't know if it's the stigma associated, if people feel it's some kind of bad karma, or if it's simply one of those subjects that is considered taboo. Http:/ www.sayinggoodbye.org/.

The Cleft of the Matter: November 2013
http://thecleftofthematter.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Sometimes an introspection. Sometimes a vent. Maybe entertaining. Maybe thought provoking. Always my life. Friday, November 22, 2013. An open letter to The League. To whom it may concern,. I am sure that you have been bombarded with outraged emails, comments, and contacts in the last day. I suppose you can add this one to your list. Were you aware that cleft occurs in roughly 1 in every 700 births? That it is one of the most common birth defects in the US? My beautiful, cleft-affected daughter. I've star...
