I’m Crissie,
AKA ‘Mummy’
I am a Mother to three beautiful children (if I do say so myself). Two of my three children have additional needs. Zachary, my eldest has Autism. Eli, my youngest son is my ‘neuro-typical’ child, also the busy body of the bunch, and Avery, my daughter has Cerebral Palsy.
We are sharing our journey, creating an amazing life, while adapting to additional and complex medical needs. It’s my mission as a Mummy to lay the foundations for each of my children to have a happy, fulfilled life, and my mission as a content creator to prove that life is 100% what you make it, even through life’s little (or big) surprises.
I thought I had nailed our family dynamic and how additional needs affects day to day life – until my beautiful baby girl came along.
Avery suffered a cardiac arrest at three days old, resulting in HIE. My relationship, my family and my whole world was turned upside down. Avery is now a year old and is a happy, incredible little girl. Needless to say, life certainly has its challenges making sure each of my children get the love and attention that they need, while adjusting to my daughter’s long list of conditions, appointments and medical supplies.
But I am a determined parent and I believe that our whole family will continue to make wonderful memories and build an incredible life together.
I would love it if you would follow along on our journey.
