I’m writing this blog post mainly for my records to help me solve this mystery as I put pieces together in the future. Last night, I had an extreme food reaction. It’s the third time in 2018 this has happened. It came on suddenly about 20 minutes after I ate dinner. The best way to…
If you read my last blog post about visiting colleges, you might have gotten the impression that I have been winning at parenting. In fact, I even felt that way for about 2.5 minutes. Then, I woke up Tuesday morning. I suddenly remembered that prom was on Saturday. I mean, I knew it was Saturday….
During the last few weeks, my oldest son and I have been visiting colleges. At first, I was scared to death to start this process. I gave myself a deadline of January of his junior year to start making appointments. I pushed our start date back to February, and finally started scheduling them in March….
A few days ago, I was talking to a friend of mine who is a fellow autoimmune disease warrior. She was explaining to me a physical symptom that she has been experiencing the past few weeks, which causes her entire body to itch. She pushed up the sleeve on her cute top to reveal pink…
Do you have a favorite children’s book? You know… that one you can recite from memory because you’ve read it so many times? On Saturday morning, I hopped out of bed early with storybooks on my mind. I sorted through our shelves of books, pulling out all of the ones that were classics. I had…
Our oldest son was 7 years old when he was infected with the film-making bug. He recruited his younger brother and sister as actors, and asked me to shoot them making a movie. I’m sure it’s something that kids in lots of homes have done at that age. I showed him some basic editing skills…
I subscribe to lots of blogs on fashion, lifestyle and home decor in my Bloglovin’ news feed, and everyone has been writing lately about Valentine’s Day. Of course, all of the posts about this heart-filled holiday are loaded with red. Red boots. Red sweaters. Red pillows. Red flowers. I’m all for filling the world with…
Here’s a little January 2018 fun fact for you. Did you know that we started the month AND ended the month with a full moon? This doesn’t happen often, which is why it’s called a “blue moon.” The moon wasn’t blue at all this morning. But it’s only “once in a blue moon” that we…
One year ago, I radically changed my diet over night. But the transition of how to feed my family has taken much longer to figure out. It’s one thing to change my own eating habits. It’s quite another to change someone else’s diet, especially when they are teenagers and might not want to make a…
How’s your January going so far? As much as I don’t like the cold weather months, I feel like January has been going as well as a super dark, freezing month in which the sun sets way too early and I barely ever go outside can possibly go. We still have nearly two weeks left in…
