Double party weekend

On Friday we went to the East Bay to see my sister!!!!!!!!!!! I have missed her so much it was awesome to have her in town even if was only for a quickie weekend trip. For the record, my sister cannot play the guitar, but my little dancing bean didn’t care.  And then after putting P down for the night we went to dinner (hooray for the frequency of date nights increasing!!) at Roam. I got the sunny side in a lettuce wrap.  I was saving room for dessert (chocolate back at my parents’ house).  My… Read more >

Will these ever get old?

I made the mistake of making these delicious, hot off the stove, home-made pancakes into a boring breakfast.  How did I do that? With the introduction of Mickey Mouse… And now I think I’m doomed to make Mickey pancakes forever more. 🙂 I guess there are worse habits for a toddler.

Allergy friendly cupcakes (for three) [gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free] Ingredients: 1 egg 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp canola oil 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/4 cup… Read more >

Dairy trials

A while ago I mentioned I got our allergist’s blessing to do some at home trials with P’s allergens.  For a variety of reasons I was optimistic that it would go well…First off, he was tested way back when he was 9 months old and so much time has passed.  But even more importantly, he had never actually consumed several of the foods he tested positive to so how do we know the blood tests were even accurate.  False positives and negatives are common and there’s also a large scale of immune responses so I didn’t… Read more >
