I’ve been holding my breath all week as my friends’ kids get sick, one after the other, but there’s only so much you can do to avoid it.  And OF COURSE it hits P right before OIT.  That’s the only reason I care.  He can’t updose if his immune system is under stress so when he began coughing Thursday evening and then was up coughing on and off until waking up for good between 4 and 5 am on Friday I was really nervous that we wouldn’t get very far at our appointment.  It’s hard… Read more >

Ok guys, what would be your perfect dinner?  I’m trying to think of the menu for next week and I want to make something extra awesome for Monday (my birthday).  I have a few kale salads that I’m looking at – this one for example.

I had zucchini banana bread with cashew butter for breakfast.  This isn’t my best loaf, but it gets the job done. I was unsure of what to make… Read more >
