This is a follow-up to last week's post with the results from our visit to the allergist. Cate and I were vastly relieved to find out that she is not allergic to either wheat or dairy. She is, however, allergic to soy, which as we have recently discovered, is found in pretty much everything but water. (not really) (it just seems like … [Read more...]

Weigh-In Wednesday: a Whole30 Fail, a Homeschool Win, and a Truly Desperate Plea for Counsel

Weigh-In Wednesday
