Last year I wrote about how fall always makes me feel like cleaning the house; like it’s time for a fresh start. Usually I do feel that way each fall. Not this year, though. Instead, this year I feel like I’m falling apart. Physically, we’ve dealt with being sick for … Continue reading
Well. What. A. Week. I wrote the last post Sunday night before bed, scheduled it to post bright and early the next morning, and went to sleep. Unlike Saturday night, Sunday night Zac would not/could not sleep without me laying right next to him. Preferably with a boobie in his … Continue reading
I’m a wreck. Friday afternoon we drove to my parents house. After a fun afternoon fishing in their pond, Darrel and I left the boys with Grandma and PopPop and came home for some alone time. Very early the next morning, the phone rang. It was my Mom, calling to … Continue reading
Saturday morning, Darrel and I sat over breakfast and discussed starting our next food trial for Zac. The plan had been to trial salmon, but when I commented how shocked I was that Zac had shown no reactions to the oats in the lanolin, Darrel pointed out that since we’ve already … Continue reading
Hope you had a fabulous Labor Day weekend! I took the day off from blogging because I was working. That’s okay, though! Other than suddenly being required to be at work a little more than I’d like, my family and I are flying high! (At least, for the moment.) As … Continue reading

What. A. Week. As I said last week, I came home from work on Tuesday full of energy and zest. Two hours later I was wiped out. Then the kids and I all got hit with minor sniffles. I’m guessing environmental allergies is the culprit, as it’s all been runny … Continue reading
Friday marked the two year anniversary of my FPIES TED. I remember waking up on August 8, 2012, excited but apprehensive about the new diet our family was beginning. If you had told me then that two years later I would still only be able to eat 15 foods, I would … Continue reading
Last Wednesday was my birthday, and I spent it flying home from work and doing another goat milk run once home. Then I passed out at 8:45pm. I know. I’m such a party animal! That day was also the first day of the apricot trial break. Zac has been having … Continue reading
Last week I went to work for two days. The kids, as usual, spent that time at my parent’s house. BOY do I have something to share about THAT couple of days! But that’s for tomorrow. For now, let’s focus on food trials. We took our regular 3 day break from … Continue reading
