I’ve read that our nationwide grocery stores operate on a 3 day food supply. That means that they have a constant inflow of new food deliveries that only supply the stores with enough food to sell over a 3 day period. That thought scares a lot of people (though this … 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
Earlier this year I started having some odd symptoms. None of them struck me as particularly ominous or even all that dangerous; in fact, I hardly even noticed most of them. Until I suddenly had a monthly cycle so short, I barely finished before starting again. That’s NOT normal for … Continue reading
Last Thursday I walked into the health food co-op and saw a gigantic display of Apricots. They had just gotten them in, and told me they should continue to receive them for the next couple of months. Apricots are on my short list of foods to trial next for Zac, … Continue reading
Ready for a rant? For Frugal Friday I had this whole post planned on “lower your expectations” as a frugal tip. Instead, I’m just going to rant and rave about how Wal-Mart (may have, almost) ruined my kids birthday party, all because Darrel and I decided to lower our expectations … Continue reading

Saturday, my baby turned two. TWO, Y’ALL! <sniff> I guess he’s not really a baby any more. <sniff sniff> Anyway… Last week I had to work, and while I was gone I left instructions with my Mom to continue putting the garlic oil in his ears. I’d only been gone … Continue reading
Turns out all my angst was for nothing. At least for now. The strawberry trial didn’t happen. Shortly after I shared that post, I gave Zac some fresh strawberries. He refused to even let one touch his lips! It was a straight repeat of the maple syrup trial the night … Continue reading
I’m going to say something that will probably really raise the hackles of Food Allergy Mama’s everywhere: in a straight comparison, I love food allergies and I hate food intolerances. Of course I’d rather not deal with ANY of them, but let’s face it: allergies are easy in comparison. This … Continue reading
