The last post I wrote shared how grateful I feel for our little “not normal” lives. I was. I am. But, you know, the reality is that no one can sustain any feeling on a 24/7 basis. Not even gratitude for the blessings you have. Last week was an absolute … Continue reading
We have some good news: sweet potatos and cauliflower are still safe! Yay, Zac! They’re even still safe for me! Once again, I’m having to learn all about a new food issue…salicylates are throwing me for a loop. Remember when I ate the sweet potato and had an instant reaction? … Continue reading
Hope you had a fabulous Labor Day weekend! I took the day off from blogging because I was working. That’s okay, though! Other than suddenly being required to be at work a little more than I’d like, my family and I are flying high! (At least, for the moment.) As … Continue reading
What. A. Week. As I said last week, I came home from work on Tuesday full of energy and zest. Two hours later I was wiped out. Then the kids and I all got hit with minor sniffles. I’m guessing environmental allergies is the culprit, as it’s all been runny … Continue reading
Good news! The kids are entirely over their colds. Not even runny noses left. So-so news: Darrel and I still aren’t 100% better. Though I didn’t want to, I had to call out sick for work this weekend. Thursday and Friday I was a walking zombie, but by Saturday, if … 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
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
Thursday we resumed the banana trial for Zac, and it went so well I decided I could go to work over the weekend. I found a trip to work on Saturday that was quick and “easy”, but worth a decent amount of money. I thought I’d share with you how … Continue reading
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend! Our banana trial is in full swing and going extraordinarily well! Not only is he showing no negative reaction signs whatsoever, but so far there isn’t a possible way to present bananas to Zac that he doesn’t like. He’ll wolf down … Continue reading
