FeatherBrain Fairy - Hi!!

Hi! I’m Lauren, aka the FeatherBrain Fairy. I’ve decided to start this blog to share my journey and hopefully help others in a similar position to me to not feel so alone in the madness that is life, or maybe pick up some life hacks I’ve learned along the way. Learning never ends though really does it?

So what exactly IS your position you ask? Being a young mum with Multiple Sclerosis. With two young babes less than a year and a half apart, mumming is crazy-stupid-hard even at the best of times, and thats without having a pesky ‘incurable’ ailment blowing in and turning your life into even more of a poo flinging comedy of errors. But you know what they say, “Comedy is just Tragedy that landed on its head with its pants torn at the crotch”… or something like that? We all need a little comedy! 

My intention is to write about little ‘mum-life’ hacks that are “disability friendly”… wait I don’t really like that phrase… what about “talented, ‘why didn’t I think of that’, problem solver while often seated hacks”? Also I'll talk about treatments, alternatives and my attempt to balance eastern and western medicine! 

Lets see where this journey goes…

Stay Tuned!

This is what it looks like when I “meal prep”. Today is a good day so my hands are feeling great (currently on a prednisone taper post flare up) but I still need to conserve spoons for our coast trip! These family trips are totally worth “spending spoons” so that I can get out of my little “bubble” (Tri-Cities) and see the “big picture” (our small corner of the world). Healthy eating and a good nights rest helps my body produce more spoons each day. And this trip is already going to be hard, so proper prep work is necessary. But I can’t stand for long before pain sets in and I spend WAY too many spoons standing, doing work, that I can do while sitting. So... I get creative! Sitting in a lawn chair, at a kids table, in the kitchen, prepping snacks and making lunch. #winning lol What are some ways you save “spoons” for long trips? #spoonielife #disabilityhacks #healthyeating #tripprep #mommieblog #disabledblogger #spondyloarthritis #DegenerativeDiscDisease #chronicpain #determinedtosucceed #onemomentatatime
