Gingerbread babies

Weirdly my blog got hacked recently (by Russia!?! are they hacking everyone?) and was shut down for a bit.  I was on the phone with IT peeps from bluehost for over two hours which was not how I wanted to spend nap time.  I will be honest and say I understood <5% of the things we were discussing for said hours, but at least I am here again with HHH restored. This was an impulse baking sesh…I prepped the dough during their naps and so when they woke up it was ready to roll out,… Read more >

Giving and the ballet and haircuts

Thanksgiving weekend was packed so I’m only finally getting my pics uploaded. P had a dentist appointment to kick off the week and hooray for healthy teeth!  I got some grief from the dentist for asking a bunch of questions about the flavored toothpaste they offered (birthday cake!?!) so they agreed to just use plain old paste.  I get that they want to make the visit painless fun for kids, but he doesn’t know any better so just give him the one that doesn’t have recaldent and save me a headache dealing with a dairy reaction… Read more >

Back from thanksgiving

It’s been a veggie-ful week thus far.  Well, I guess it’s only Tuesday, but ever since last Thursday we have been hitting the greens hard.  Recovery cravings ya know?

The last bits of the pumpkin roll cake I made for Thanksgiving are nearly gone, but I took a break from that this am and opted for… Read more >

I am spartan

Over the summer, we decided we needed something to inspire us to stay active during the colder months and so we ended up signing up for a Spartan race in early November.  We even managed to convince my sisters to do it with us.  Thanks to a promo code, we didn’t break the bank (it’s normally $100 per entry) and it got us pumped to “train” for the months leading up to it. Kyle and I created mini workouts at a local park (which P has hereafter dubbed “the exercise park”) and while I felt like… Read more >

OIT and SLIT and allergy challenges

I don’t exactly know where to start with this post since it’s been a few months of back and forth and it’s not easy to sum up, but I like keeping you in the loop so here’s where we are… P has outgrown his tree nut, soy, sesame, and gluten allergies but is still allergic to peanuts and dairy. We are aware of all the latest treatment options for peanuts – namely what is being done at Stanford and Long Beach – to desensitize patients.  Essentially small doses are administered until the immune system is convinced… Read more >
