I hate it when I’m right. (Well, not really. I like being right most of the time. It just stinks when I’m right about something bad.) Back in February I stopped Zac from eating some kitty litter, and wrote about WHY you don’t let an FPIES kid eat kitty litter … Continue reading
After writing about Jed’s difficulties the last time I went to work, you were all AWESOME at offering suggestions for how to make it easier for him! I am looking forward to trying almost all of them in the future, but I know several of them will be better suited … Continue reading
There’s no fabulous story behind this recipe. I just got bored with the dinners I’ve been making and started throwing things together in the kitchen!

Last week I mentioned that Jed would probably be homeschooled for preschool. Homeschooling has always been on the table as an option for us; even before Jed was born, Darrel and I discussed it as a possibility. Back then it was simply because Darrel and I both struggled in public … Continue reading
Everything looks better after a good night’s sleep, you know? I don’t think there’s any way I can possibly THANK YOU ALL for the outpouring of support and encouragement we received yesterday. It means the world to me. Seeing how many people are “in our corner” and praying for my … Continue reading
