The first post

I used to blog on AOL, then AOL closed the blogs, followed by the messageboards and the profiles, and started promoting Bebo for things, so I left AOL and went to Sky. If I wanted to use Bebo I'd use my Bebo account. Moving was a good idea all round.

So I'm Dawn, I've been married (and most of it happy I'm glad to say) to Chris for 2 years, and we have a 7 month old son, Corin.

I have Cerebral Palsy, and all I'll say on that front for now is Google it. I have Spastic Diplegia, and very little mobility these days. Very much a few steps and that's it.

Parenting, as I'm sure many of you will know is a very hard job indeed, but being a 'Mum On Wheels' adds a lot to the joys and fun of it all. For example, when I was pregnant, people would ask 'how are you going to manage a pushchair?' Well, I'm not, but again, we'll come to that in due course.

Really, the whole idea of this blog, when I have time is to just share my day-to-day life as a mum, like any other mum, showing people that having a disability isn't always a reason not to have children, and that I am as normal (or as mad!) as any other mother.
