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
July worked really well for my work schedule, in the end. Even if I hadn’t called out sick, I only would have worked 8 days total. Five of those days, though, started last Wednesday. I didn’t get home until almost 2:00a.m. Sunday night/Monday morning, and I am still exhausted from … 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
Well. There’s not much to report about the boys at the moment; Zac seems to have finally finished teething so apricots resume today. He’s also doing well in speech therapy, finally trying to say actual words! So far he’s attempted to say “bottle” (ba ba), “splash” (lah), and “brother” (bubba). … Continue reading
A while ago I shared how to make a cake or cupcake icing with no fructose and no dairy, and said it was awesome. I was mistaken. It was just okay. THIS is awesome! Spectacular, amazing, stupendous, delectable, perfection. Okay, I’m running out of adjectives. So here’s the story: Last … Continue reading
