Second birthday things

I know the birthday posts seem to be never-ending right now, but Kyle and V were born a mere few days apart and both need their own proper celebrations!  So each got a party in addition to their actual birth day.  Hence the excessive fiesta coverage on HHH. The theme of this week was clean out the fridge. I did the bare minimum for shopping…just enough to give the birthday people their requested dinners (taco night for K, waffles for V). I did make pancakes 4 different days, but that’s because I froze each day’s leftovers to have… Read more >

Larabar allergy info

Now that we are road tripping much more for weekly allergy treatments far away…packing healthy stuff has gotten more challenging.  My desire to be creative and offer diverse fresh whole foods is running up against exhaustion and it’s making me land somewhere in the middle with regards to packing food…which means, something’s gotta give.  So I recently contacted Larabar, wondering if perhaps their bars were safe for P.  I’ve never trusted another company that makes peanut products, and as you all know I’ve made my own bars on a weekly basis for…going on four years now…what… Read more >

Double celebrations

Woke up at my parents’ house on Friday and went for a run while Kyle hung with the kiddos, then we swapped and he got his workout in.  After a quick shower P and I hit the road to Fremont for his second oral immunotherapy appt.  All allergy posts are here FYI (in case you missed one and don’t know what I’m talking about with this OIT business). We left later this time but still left room for a quick run in to sbux.  In the heat of the previous day’s packing chaos, I completely forgot the… Read more >

End of the week tid bits

Sometimes I like taking photos of the mundane…to remind myself of the random moments raising these kiddos. That smoothie had a few different kinds of fruit – including a whole orange – as well as hemp seeds, almond milk, and a probiotic. Precious little girl snuggles so hard with her bunny. She doesn’t do anything half way.  Her smile is bigger than life…and her wail is equally Earth shattering. A kale salad.  Standard. This past Wednesday was the first day of farmer’s market, but it was also cloudy…and P had a tee ball game.  So I… Read more >

Nuts without cross contamination

I am in an OIT for food allergy group on facebook and it’s a really awesome helpful community.  I never would have thought to join it until another mom (doing OIT at our same clinic) added me as a member.  It has been so amazing to read everyone’s stories and hear the answers and anecdotes and advice that others have.  Plus all kinds of support! So here’s a link someone recently posted that I wish I’d known about LONG ago: of a list of companies that sell nuts that aren;r cross contaminated with other nuts or… Read more >
