    Did I Fail My Child With Food Allergies?

    Last week, I felt like absolute garbage. More specifically, I felt like diaper trash that had just been ignited inside a dirty dumpster. And I don’t mean that I felt physically ill. I felt mentally and emotionally HORRIBLE. I was a gross, stinky, dumpster fire mess. Honestly, I had more colorful words to use, but…

    Disney World with Food Allergies

    We did it! Family trip to Disney World, check! Admittedly, I was very nervous. My husband and I have two young children (ages 4 & 2) and they both have food allergies. The idea of navigating food for an entire week away from our home was truly intimidating. We rarely eat out as it can…

    Self-Compassion as a Food Allergy Mom

    “Self-compassion is key because when we’re able to be gentle with ourselves in the midst of shame, we’re more likely to reach out, connect, and experience empathy.” – Brene Brown Mmmm.

    I have always loved hearing stories about my childhood and my own parent’s memories from when they were little. There is one story from my mother’s younger years that is just so heartwarming.

    The 3 Things My Food Allergy Family Needs

    I am absolutely terrified of being in water. Specifically, lakes, rivers, and the ocean. I’m mostly okay with pools. Mostly.

    “Let’s just stay home.” This is how I felt during the first couple of months after my sweet 8 month old baby was diagnosed with food allergies.
