Oh what a lovely 24 hours it has been and the fun is not over! The best part: our kind, wonderful friends and family have gone to well appreciated lengths to share food allergy safe foods, keep asthma triggers down to a dull roar and then showered us with their love and treats. Truly we are blessed. Here is a bad snapshot of my favorite gift from hubby. I think I’m drunk on Christmas cookies and sweet potato pie right now!

Just feeling the love and gratitude today while still sitting our pajamas. I’m about to ice sugar cookies (since clearly we are running low on sugar) and enjoy some lovely hot tea with my kids. Although, we’ll need to shower soon as it is never well received to show up for Christmas dinner dirty!





One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
