Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month 2016

October 10, 2016 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

This month is pregnancy & infant loss awareness month. It’s important for me to bring awareness to the topic and have these resources for you. For those of you who are not familiar with my story, I lost one of my identical twin daughters when they were two days old. So this is a very personal topic. Here are […]

Why hasn’t Congress done anything about Zika yet? #zapzika

September 6, 2016 By katbiggie 1 Comment

zap zika

Congress just returned to work after a seven-week break. Guess what they haven’t done anything about yet? They have done nothing to combat Zika. Over this summer, mosquitos started infecting people with Zika in parts of southern Florida.  In Puerto Rico, thousands of cases of Zika have been diagnosed, including hundreds in pregnant women. And new reports […]

Pregnant women who get the flu shot may only protect their infant for 8 weeks after birth

July 19, 2016 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

OK, so this is one of those times when a research article comes out and you have to say, “Don’t go jumping to any crazy conclusions!” 8 weeks is still better than nothing! And those are critical 8 weeks. What am I talking about? JAMA Pediatrics recently published research from a new study that indicates […]

Bacon Wrapped Tuna Steaks

Bacon wrapped tuna steaks

Bacon Wrapped Tuna Steaks I have so many recipes I want to share, since I’ve been experimenting so much with gluten free and paleo. So, I’ve decided to make Tuesdays “Tasty Tuesdays” unless something more important comes up! I really have bought into the idea that it all starts with food. A healthy gut is […]

How to have an open discussion about tragedy with children

June 20, 2016 By katbiggie 1 Comment

We talk a lot about death in our family. I guess that goes with the territory of losing a child. But not in a morbid way. In a way that lets my children know it’s okay to talk about death, dying, grief. They are not afraid to ask questions, and they have a general understanding […]

Free online conference for #bloggers and #writers

June 16, 2016 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Did you say free online conference for bloggers? So you may have noticed I’ve been more quiet on the blog the last few months. Until yesterday, of course, when I had to express my feelings about the way people are treating the parents of the child who was killed by the alligator, but there is […]

Let Them Grieve

June 15, 2016 By katbiggie 31 Comments

grief, child loss, death of child

My husband hit it right on the head today. “I hate the way the media spins things! Talking about how the dad JUST suffered minor cuts and scrapes!” He was, of course, referring to the father who bravely went into the water and tried to rescue his son from a 7-8 foot alligator. Whether he […]

Keep those Tweens and Teens safe this summer

teen summer safety tips

This is the first year I’ll have an almost “tween” home over the summer… This is also the first summer that we’ve got a computer in his bedroom, and each of the kids has their own “smart” device. Be it a kindle, ipad, or what not, they all know how to use them. Now, I’ve […]

National Cancer Survivor’s Day

June 5, 2016 By katbiggie 1 Comment

There are very few of us who have not been affected, touched, and even grieved by cancer. I’ve lost some very important people in my life to Ovarian Cancer… my aunt, and the sister of one of my best friend’s. Both of them died so young, at 42 and 38, respectively. Cancer is a bitch. […]

Multiples Illuminated {Book Review}

June 3, 2016 By katbiggie 2 Comments

Multiples Illuminated

Multiples Illuminated – a book review Did you just discover that you are pregnant . . . with twins, triplets or more? I remember EXACTLY the moment that the ultrasound technician told me there were TWO heart beats. TWO? I had a just-turned-four-year-old and a 16-month-old at home, and this was a surprise I was […]

More than “mom”

June 1, 2016 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Why is it that we struggle with wanting to be more than mom? When I began this blogging journey, it was about two main things. Surviving the loss of my daughter Kathryn. Spreading awareness about TTTS and other maternal, infant, and children’s health issues as an advocate. I believe I have, and will continue to […]

co-sleeping to co-sleep or not

Co-sleeping…. One of the hottest topics amongst mothers of young children… To Co-Sleep or Not? As many young couples do, when my first husband and I started talking about having a family, we had our list of things we would not allow our children to do. They would not throw tantrums in public. They would […]
