Quinoa, Craziness, and Ear Infections

<chirp chirp chirp> That’s the sound of the crickets chirping in the silence of the last week here at Cradle Rocking Mama. I’ve been, as they say, out of pocket. And out of my mind, but that’s starting to seem all too typical! So, to ease any concerns I’m going … Continue reading

OK, Quinoa…I Don’t Think We’re Done With You Yet!

I have to start this post with a gigantic THANK YOU. After yesterdays emotional ordeal, I was overwhelmed with the outpouring of support and encouragement! To go through a food trial for the first time is scary; to think it was unsuccessful is devastating. But to know that there were … Continue reading

First Food Trial – Quinoa

Last week I went to the doctor. For me, not the kids. I’ve been having some strange symptoms the last 6 weeks or so. A strange “lightening” in my chest followed by the feeling that I’m suddenly standing on a mountain peak, having a hard time breathing the thin air. … Continue reading

Lamenting The Cake

When Jed turned one year old, we had a family celebration on his actual birthday and a party the following weekend. At the family celebration, we served homemade spaghetti and garlic bread, and Darrel’s mom brought a cake for everyone (except me and Jed) to eat. At the party Darrel … Continue reading

A Little Night Terror

Stick a fork in me, y’all, ’cause I’m done. It’s been such a fun week here, why NOT cap it off with a little middle of the night terror-filled screaming for no apparent reason? Seems fitting, right? Last night Zac fought going to sleep with all he had. Finally, at … Continue reading

The Incredible, In-edible CORN

FAAW is nearing its completion. I have seen some beautiful, amazing testimonies to the effects of food allergies on families, and learned some new food allergy facts and trivia (yes, no matter how far in the food allergy rabbit hole you’ve fallen, you still learn new things all the time!). … Continue reading

FAAW Video – See Zac in Action!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words…how much is a video worth? This is my very first video making effort, and I’m sure anyone who knows anything about putting a video together will laugh at what I’ve done! But I don’t mind. This was fun to make, and … Continue reading
