Y’all, I really just can’t make this stuff up. So yesterday morning, Jed pitched a fit when I wanted to take off his overnight disposable diaper. Frankly, I get tired of fighting the whims of a toddler 24/7, so when it’s something that doesn’t matter all that much in the … Continue reading
Before I talk about this AWESOME recipe, I thought I’d give you a little update. Last night, Zac had a definite FPIES reaction. No confusion; his diapers told the story quite clearly. (I’ll refrain from details, as I’m about to talk about food!) We’re not 100% sure it is the … Continue reading
Before my impromptu craft fair hiatus, I left our regularly scheduled posting with a cliff-hanger: Zac had an ear infection last week that required another round of Rocephin shots. Obviously, this is not great news; at the same time, though, I admit to being a little excited. After our last … Continue reading
Yeah. I know. It’s actually “anger”. You’ll understand. Let me tell you a story about Monday… Jed peed in his riding toy. It leaked all over the floor, of course. Before that, he head butted me in the face making my eye sore and tender. I decided to eat a … Continue reading
I’m veering far off from my normal topics here, and posting at an irregular time, but I just can’t help myself. I hope you’ll bear with me as I get a little something off my chest. Just a couple weeks ago, Miley Cyrus traipsed her scantily clad self across the … Continue reading
I hate it when I’m right. (Well, not really. I like being right most of the time. It just stinks when I’m right about something bad.) Back in February I stopped Zac from eating some kitty litter, and wrote about WHY you don’t let an FPIES kid eat kitty litter … Continue reading
After writing about Jed’s difficulties the last time I went to work, you were all AWESOME at offering suggestions for how to make it easier for him! I am looking forward to trying almost all of them in the future, but I know several of them will be better suited … Continue reading
So many FPIES Mama’s talk about frustrating or dangerous situations they’ve been placed in thanks to the ignorance – or rudeness – of friends and family. Situations where they’re invited to a play date with the assurance that all food will be kept in a safe location, only to arrive … Continue reading
The last half of August was a hot mess for me. I worked ten days in the month, all of which were after the 16th. That explains my absence here last week, by the way; anything beyond basic survival was WAY beyond my abilities! To make matters worse, this last … Continue reading
My Dear Daughters, Recently my friends discussed how we all knew we were done having children. That conversation got me thinking, and I had to admit that while I would LOVE to have more children – many more, if given the choice – we are probably done with just our two … Continue reading
