Freedom with the Firefly: Off-Road Parenting with a Disability

The Firefly, made by Rio Mobility, lifts up the front wheels of a manual wheelchair to transform it to a three-wheeled chair pulled by an electric motor. I’ve had the Firefly for a little over a month. It was a significant investment for our family. I wish insurance would cover products like this.  Our decision […]

Potty Training Made Easier As A Disabled Mom

Potty Training Made Easier As A Disabled Mom

Potty Training your toddler can be a daunting task for any parent, much less one who has a disability.  When I started training my son during the day, I’d lead him to the bathroom every twenty to thirty minutes so there wouldn’t be the inevitable accident most parents dread.  This went on until he got […]

Product Review – EazyHold

Product Review – EazyHold

EazyHold the Universal Cuff Grip Assist has been a very helpful addition to my treasure trove of modifications. I came across EazyHold on a social media site, where the creators were holding a give-away contest. I was one of the winners and my adult pack of EazyHolds arrived shortly thereafter. EazyHold comes in 5 different […]

Cooking Made Easier for Parents with a Disability

Cooking Made Easier for Parents with a Disability

Who doesn’t want to have a healthy meal for their family on the dinner table every night?  This isn’t necessarily the easiest thing to do for parents with a disability for multiple reasons.  One of the main concerns I’ve heard people talk about is the limited income most people with disabilities have to purchase food.  […]

National Braille Press Valentine’s Card Spreads the Love

I’ll admit it; I’m a hopeless romantic! One of my absolute favorite holidays, Valentine’s Day, of course! Since becoming a mom, I’ve gotten my daughters into the spirit and together we make and mail dozens of Valentine’s Day cards every year. In our house, every recipient on our list receives “2” versions of Valentine’s – […]

LapBaby: The Babywearing Solution for Wheelchair Users?

The Disabled Parenting Project (DPP) recently had the opportunity to review the LapBaby, a hands-free baby carrier. The LapBaby was designed to allow parents to safely hold their baby hands-free while in the sitting position. While not specifically designed for parents who are wheelchair users, the LapBaby holds great potential! Below are reviews from DPP […]

Living Life One Step at a Time with the Help of some Clever “Handi-Hacks”

July 5, 2016 by Ellen Ladau 1 Comment

Living Life One Step at a Time with the Help of some Clever “Handi-Hacks”

Seems like everyone is counting their steps these days as gizmos like Fitbit are all the rage.  Because my daughter and I share a rare orthopedic disorder, Larsen Syndrome, we have many limitations in our upper and lower extremities that greatly impact our daily “steps.”  Emily is a full time wheelchair user and I’m an […]

Blind Mom’s Potty Problems: GlowBowl Lights The Way

By the time I finish cleaning up my kid’s toys, folding laundry and loading the dishwasher; it’s close to midnight. Add in work responsibilities with some dedicated blogging time and this momma rarely hits the pillow before 2am. Because my visual impairment is significantly worse after putting in my nightly eye medications; I’m usually pretty […]

Chocolate Braille Bars

Chocolate Braille Bars

Easter baskets. As parents, it’s our responsibility to fill them. I put a lot of thought into what my kids might enjoy in their baskets, even though they are both only toddlers. Truth be told, they would probably be happy with anything at this age, but mommy strives for perfection. (Clearly, I have issues.) While […]
