Food allergy families are always looking for the safest and best ways to approach food trials, so I’m here today to tell you the simple truth: I don’t have a clue, either. But – Hah! Gotcha with that title, right? (Sorry, felt like having a little fun today!) Seriously, though, … Continue reading
I just have to state for the record that one thing that really stinks about FPIES is the complication factor. The last week we’ve been confused about the carrot trial on Zac. He has definitely had an acidic diaper rash and poo full of mucous, he has screamed in pain … Continue reading
fol·ly (fl) n.pl.fol·lies 1. A lack of good sense, understanding, or foresight. 2.a. An act or instance of foolishness: regretted the follies of his youth. b. A costly undertaking having an absurd or ruinous outcome. We’ve been having an awful lot of fun here, lately. Yes, I’m being sarcastic. Let’s start with Zac: … Continue reading
Thank you, everyone, for your wonderful words of prayer and comfort yesterday. I don’t know how we’d endure if we didn’t have such great support. Today’s post is going to be brief. Yesterday I was much too scattered and bummed to write anything worthwhile, and today, well… By 10:00 am, … 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
Well. Long time no write. Sorry. So, last Monday we were Zombies because Zac had spent a weekend teething horribly with no amber necklace and kept us awake. We put the necklace back on him and suddenly he was much better…and I then spent the next two nights completely … Continue reading
I just love Fall. The crisp coolness of the air and the simmering excitement of upcoming holidays all conspires to make me feel revitalized. With the days still warm but the nights and mornings nice and crisp, well, Fall is definitely here. For some reason, that revitalization always makes me … 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
