On pregnancy, parenting, and managing FPIES with tiny humans
Hi all! Happy Tuesday. A few weeks ago, I felt like it was impossible to talk about anything but CoronaVirus. And yet, here we are, and there's no end in sight... so it feels like we better keep talking allergies and FPIES and all that we're all facing, because somehow, the rest of life still … Continue reading On a lighter note (though hoping for a heavier one soon…)
Hi all! I continue to be so thankful that you take the time to check in on us and follow our journey, particularly in the midst of a world that is falling further apart by the day. An FPIES mama friend shared this with me the other day, and it's truer than ever: We've got … Continue reading tired. spent. grateful. well.
Happy Tuesday, friends. Are you okay? Are you healthy? Are you safe? I hope yes to all of the above. Here in Minnesota, sheltered in place and healthier than we've been in months, we are indeed okay. And safe. And even as the state is gearing up to face the biggest challenge of our lifetime, … Continue reading Happy Birthday, Dear Lincoln!
I promised you a blog on pregnancy, parenting, and managing FPIES. I spend a whole lot of time on the latter. This week, I imagine I'm not alone in saying the only thoughts on my mind are Corona-related. Statistics, curves, ventilators, shortages, hospitals...all things COVID-19. What did we even talk about before all this began? … Continue reading A deep breath or two

Today, I'm going to jump right in to our topic, which is certainly none of my business: your family … Continue reading Go on, have another baby. (You, not me!)
Hey all! I’ve been home from an epic girls’ weekend in Mexico for all of 9 hours. I’m sunburnt, exhausted, and so very refreshed all at once. It was far and away the best weekend of self care I’ve had in a long time! And, unsurprisingly, I came home to a clean house, happy healthy … Continue reading FPIES? Is that you?
Happy Tuesday, fellow allergy parents and friends. I hope, as always, this new day finds you healthy, reaction-free, and staying warm. Last week, I mentioned a post all about the many hidden gems and silver linings this FPIES life has brought to us. And honestly, it's more than that. FPIES has led me to be … Continue reading Silver Linings and more
Happy Tuesday friends and family! I was scrolling through some old blog posts this morning in search of the recipe for homemade Watermelon "Pedialyte", and I realized I've been blogging for nearly 15 months! If you've been here since the beginning and you're still following our journey every Tuesday... wow. I'm honored you care and … Continue reading #twoundertwo
I’m writing tonight’s post from my second born’s bedroom (aka the newly re-purposed playroom). I’m cozied up on a cot right next to his crib, listening to adorable baby snores and hoping not to hear any gagging or coughing overnight. Miles is fighting off something- an ear infection, an fpies reaction, or a run of … Continue reading The good, the bad, the vomit-covered
