*WE* Have FPIES Eyes!

In honor of FAAW, I thought it a good idea to bring back one of my most popular posts: FPIES Eyes. After that post ran, Darrel came up with the image up above. As part of raising awareness (and, let’s be honest, funds for our family), we created a Zazzle … Continue reading

A Servant’s Heart

My brain is just filled with thoughts of Mother’s Day and Motherhood.  I sat down to write a post about it and it was just…going no where. Rather, it was going everywhere! Rambles and oh-so-earnest “lessons” and it just…sucked. Mama’s tired, y’all. And that’s as good a starting point as any, … Continue reading

Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus

Last week we trialed asparagus on Jed. Thanks to the accidental lollipop ingestion the next day, I wasn’t able to get a good “read” on whether asparagus was safe or not.  So I decided to try it again this week. I’ve also been seeking out safe bacon for him. I … Continue reading
