Break-My-Heart Video
Well, it took forever, but here it is: the video of Zac eating food for the first (and apparently, only) time. Breaks my heart. He was so happy to finally get to eat. I hate FPIES.

First Food Trial – Quinoa
Last week I went to the doctor. For me, not the kids. I’ve been having some strange symptoms the last 6 weeks or so. A strange “lightening” in my chest followed by the feeling that I’m suddenly standing on a mountain peak, having a hard time breathing the thin air. … Continue reading
Lamenting The Cake
When Jed turned one year old, we had a family celebration on his actual birthday and a party the following weekend. At the family celebration, we served homemade spaghetti and garlic bread, and Darrel’s mom brought a cake for everyone (except me and Jed) to eat. At the party Darrel … Continue reading
Homemade Stevia Extract
The weather this spring has been weird. We had unseasonably cold weather until May! Even though I hadn’t planned on putting in a garden this year, a couple weeks ago the whole clan was at the garden center buying plants and soil. It sort of felt like the late frosts … Continue reading
Snickers Really Satisfies – My Urge to Worry!
Tuesday evening the kids and I were at the grocery store. Jed was entertaining himself by looking at the candy, which, as I’ve already said, the poor child has no concept of. He doesn’t want to eat any of it, he just likes the pretty colors! He grabbed a Snickers bar … Continue reading

Beat the Heat With Popsicles
I remember playing outside in the summertime as a kid. The sun would blaze overhead and the neighborhood kids would run until we couldn’t run any more. We made up fun games (like Pine Cone War) and turned a disturbing shade of brown from being in the sun all day. … Continue reading
Guest Posting & Becoming the FBI
Last week was FAAW, as you all know. I had lots of things up on my blog for the occasion, and the internet was all abuzz with allergy awareness. It was glorious! We have a local website, NWA Motherlode, that is a great website with resources for Mom’s in my area, blogs, … Continue reading
A Little Night Terror
Stick a fork in me, y’all, ’cause I’m done. It’s been such a fun week here, why NOT cap it off with a little middle of the night terror-filled screaming for no apparent reason? Seems fitting, right? Last night Zac fought going to sleep with all he had. Finally, at … Continue reading
