We decided to stick to one up-dose per appointment but we were still there until almost noon. It was all good though. He is officially at 1/4 cup of whole milk twice a day. He read the same book on cd 5 times in a row! And ate pretzels while he snuggled on my lap to pass the time. After we left, we quickly ran to WF, where I was planning to get something, but P was anxious to get home, so I scrapped my plan and just went back to my parents’ house. I… Read more >
Finally feeling back to normal! And with the help of daily kombucha, my gut may not be as wonky and off as it would be post illness otherwise. I made heaps of pancakes for breakfast because I needed extra for P to bring to school the next day. For my own breakfast, I made a smoothie with bananas, berries, chia seeds, walnuts, almond milk, and collagen after biking P to school. I can’t help but think the collagen is doing good things for my gut too. Mmmmm. Open gym with V after that. Still no… Read more >
He is so proud of himself! I don’t have much in the way of food photos for Monday because I basically didn’t eat much. I sipped a trilogy kombucha all morning and afternoon long and my stomach was pretty happy to have nothing in it but fizzy probiotics. I wasn’t even hungry. So weird.

We made popsicles once… Read more >
This is how big I want my bar, okay mama? Hard to say no to such a sweet (and healthy) request. I have had glimpses of a return to good health after my initial take down, but I keep having lingering moments that suck. I’m not sure when I’ll feel 100% again. In the meantime, I’m at least functional as a mom. My GI system is hibernating, so I’m just letting it. While trying my best to distract the kids from my blah. Our Saturday plans were cancelled so we took the opportunity to enjoy the nothingness… Read more >
As a FOURSOME! Meaning all four of us ordered from the menu and ate the food that was prepared in a restaurant kitchen and I didn’t pack up ANYTHING to bring!! Weeee! It was a big moment. We went to Pushkin’s Restaurant (again) because it’s entirely gluten and dairy free, and remains one of the best brunches we’ve ever had. They have a vegan menu too, although P wanted bacon and eggs so we didn’t regard that menu this time. They don’t even have (cow) butter on the premises! They make everything – hollandaise, baked… Read more >
