OK, this is the very last post in the series about “Cleaning Up Your Financial House”. Thanks to traveling, sickness, and wonky food trials, this has taken me much longer to finish than I had planned. Thanks for sticking with me! By this point, if you’ve followed the advice I’ve … Continue reading
Tuesday I picked up a dozen eggs from my parents. Yesterday morning I cooked the first egg that’s been cooked in our house in over a year. I was trying to make a custard-type egg dish for Zac, for a few reasons. For starters, it would be a relatively new … Continue reading
One fabulous side benefit of having a fun-filled weekend away from home is two small children whose sleep schedules are completely thrown off! Children who don’t go to sleep until nearly midnight don’t leave their mama a lot of time to write coherently, after all. I decided it was kinder … Continue reading
You may have noticed the absence of last weeks Frugal Friday post. That’s because on Thursday, Darrel and I were madly prepping for a weekend getaway, racing to the airport, and flying down to Houston. My oldest friend in the world has an amazing son…who happens to be graduating from … Continue reading

Would you like to take a trip into an FPIES parents brain for a bit? Good. Then let me share with you what Darrel and I have been thinking and doing the last few days. We started Zac on sunflower products Thursday a week ago. We’ve been using Spectrum sunflower oil … Continue reading
FPIES and other allergy stories have interfered lately, but Frugal Fridays are back! (At least for this week, at any rate.) When we left off of this series, we had a basic plan to pay off our debt and two looming questions: What if we have less money than bills? and … Continue reading
Last week I took Jed to the allergist to be re-tested. In about ten days, we hope to start an egg trial for Zac’s FPIES, but we are understandably concerned about doing this since Jed is so terribly IgE allergic to eggs. It seemed prudent to get him re-tested to … Continue reading
