So, we’re all clear on the fact that FPIES has made the Cradle Rocking Family start stretching pennies into dimes, right? And that even without having our house crumbling around us, we may be in serious dire straights this summer if I can’t manage to return to work in a … Continue reading
Well. I know you all sit anxiously by your computers, just waiting for my latest post to arrive every Monday through Friday, so I know I’ve been letting you down for the last two weeks with my sporadic posting. <grin> There’s a good reason for my late Zac probiotic update … Continue reading
AND So I was looking around for some novel ways to use spaghetti squash recently, and stumbled upon Beard & Bonnet’s Hot Water Cornbread recipe. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit, Mama! My southern roots just vibrated with happiness! One thing about FPIES that really ticks me … Continue reading

Last week, I wrote an article about thriving as the parent of special needs. In it, I talked about “finding your tribe”; a group of people in the same situation as you that you can share, commiserate and celebrate with. I said they would make your life better, even if you never … Continue reading
So many people have asked: How is Zac’s probiotic trial going? Well, honestly? I don’t know. After Friday morning’s post, he had a diaper with blood. He had another one later in the day. But…it was trace blood that only showed through testing, and in the first diaper I found … Continue reading
