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
Over the last two years I’ve spent a lot of time on message boards for FPIES families. A LOT of time. As a result, there are many FPIES families I consider “friends”, even though we’ve never met in person and, to be honest, probably never will. One of those families, … Continue reading
As of Sunday, CHICKEN IS SAFE!! We LOVE chicken! And chicken loves Zac! He weighed in at 27.2 pounds at his Sunday morning weigh-in; not only the highest weight he’s ever achieved, but a full 1.2 pounds heavier than before we started the chicken trial. Guess this child needs a … Continue reading

Good news! The kids are entirely over their colds. Not even runny noses left. So-so news: Darrel and I still aren’t 100% better. Though I didn’t want to, I had to call out sick for work this weekend. Thursday and Friday I was a walking zombie, but by Saturday, if … Continue reading
When I got home from work, it was almost midnight on Sunday. Monday evening, I went out to say “hi” to my garden, and my purple podded pole beans looked beautiful! They finally had some little buds on them. Last night, while watering the garden, I looked at my beans … Continue reading
When I was pregnant with Jed, I was super nervous and excited. I wanted to read everything I could about my growing baby, so I signed up for the BabyCenter weekly pregnancy emails. You know the ones…”your baby is the size of a kumquat and is doing _______”. What it … Continue reading
I was all set to share a tutorial on freezing cauliflower as a Frugal Friday post, when it dawned on me that it’s really not all that frugal an activity. Oh, it’s not terribly expensive, especially if you buy organic frozen produce, but it isn’t exactly going to save you … Continue reading
