Just so you know, I do have some very informative posts that I am planning to write in the next few days on important topics that I know will be highly interesting and possibly even award-winning. For example, I have been trying to find time to write about the new purse my husband bought me…

Whenever I start talking to someone about my oldest son’s severe peanut allergy, the inevitable question always arises: Why do you think so many kids today have allergies? We never heard about allergies when we were growing up. I have mentioned in my last two posts a book that I am reading, which, for the…

After writing my last post about the autism conference where I had a booth this weekend, I wanted to go into a little more detail about what I have learned about the link between autism and childhood immunizations. The first time I heard anyone mention this link was in the early 90s when I was…
