Last week I missed sharing a lot of things, so here’s a little update on how the kiddos are doing. When I left off, we discovered I had inadvertently corned Zac with dishwashing soap. That put the pork trial back in full swing, albeit with some residual reaction symptoms. We … Continue reading
This has been a very hard week for me. I’ve felt off-kilter and unsteady; doubtful of myself and my voice. My confidence has been horribly shaken. I’ve had the thought that I would simply stop writing entirely. Finally, I realized that it was time to tell my story more fully … Continue reading
We’ve had a rough couple of days. Most of it is non-FPIES related, so I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say I’ve been feeling very shaky. Even if I’d been feeling great, though, yesterday would have brought me down. Yesterday, Zac reacted to the pork. It’s … Continue reading

Here it is – the BIG PROJECT I was talking about! Last month, Darrel came to me with an idea about expanding his photography portfolio by offering to shoot some FPIES families. We talked about it for a while, and his simple plan snow-balled into an entirely new concept: why … Continue reading
We seem to be on the upswing, finally, from the virus that wiped us all out the last week and a half. The “sick fog” is lifting, and we are slowly getting back to routine. Darrel caught it last, and he is still suffering worse than the rest of us, … Continue reading
It’s Friday. I’m not doing a Frugal Friday post today. Why? Because we’ve been invaded by a virus and I’ve been busy tending to two sick little boys. Not only have I not had time to sit down and write, but financial planning just really isn’t on my mind right … Continue reading
