A diagnosis, but not a definition.

Hi all! Happy May 4th, or as a very few of us may know it, happy national FPIES day! I took a quick jaunt into my archives to see if I’d previously commemorated this day. (There’s also global FPIES day, on October 14th.) But of course, two years ago I had a five day old, … Continue reading A diagnosis, but not a definition. →

👋 hi long lost friends! 👋

Once upon a time, I blogged every Tuesday. The ups and downs of FPIES, the trials of allergy life, the joys and exhaustion of life with two under two. And then... COVID.

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 →

FPIES, in the time of COVID.

Hey friends. A happy Tuesday doesn’t feel like quite the right sentiment today, does it? I hope you are healthy, I hope you are calm, I hope you are hopeful and I hope you are staying home. A lot. ❤️ If you’re with us in Minnesota, we’re witnessing school closures, bar and restaurant closures, and … Continue reading FPIES, in the time of COVID. →

Go on, have another baby. (You, not me!)
