I had a whole big post written for today, talking about how Christmas is different for FPIES families. How we have to eschew certain traditions and alter others so that the Christmas’s we create for our kiddos don’t really resemble the ones we had when we were kids. You know … Continue reading
I just have to state for the record that one thing that really stinks about FPIES is the complication factor. The last week we’ve been confused about the carrot trial on Zac. He has definitely had an acidic diaper rash and poo full of mucous, he has screamed in pain … Continue reading
fol·ly (fl) n.pl.fol·lies 1. A lack of good sense, understanding, or foresight. 2.a. An act or instance of foolishness: regretted the follies of his youth. b.

Y’all, I really just can’t make this stuff up. So yesterday morning, Jed pitched a fit when I wanted to take off his overnight disposable diaper. Frankly, I get tired of fighting the whims of a toddler 24/7, so when it’s something that doesn’t matter all that much in the … Continue reading
After my Frugal Friday post, you might read this post and think “Hypocrite, much?” I know, I know…but the real message of my “Just Say No to Christmas” post was to be aware of your spending this holiday season. Not to not spend anything. So if you’re going to spend … Continue reading
