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...]
Eczema Faq for the Asking (and a Cute Photo)
First off, a great big THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to comment yesterday! If you haven't read their suggestions yet, I highly recommend stopping by to do so. Cate and I are going to see the allergist this afternoon and, fingers crossed, I have very high hopes that he'll solve all our problems. (including, but not limited to, the fruit … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday: a Whole30 Fail, a Homeschool Win, and a Truly Desperate Plea for Counsel
Yes, well. About that {2nd} Whole30 venture... I don't know what to tell you. One minute I was fine and the next minute, I'd fallen. Literally! My will power lasted about one whole minute. When in doubt, blame the chocolate cupcakes. I don't know. Somehow it seemed easier when I did it this summer. Back then I had more … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
On Falling Off the Whole Foods Wagon “You look different,” the chiropractor told me on Monday, and I was pretty sure I knew what he meant. “I've gained some weight,” I said, sliding onto the adjustment table. “Is that it?” “That could be it.” His hands moved nimbly, pressing on my lower back. “I was going to ask if you were pregnant.” * * … [Read more...]
Whole 30 {Round II}
So you can blame all that Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese, but I'm starting another Whole30 tomorrow. Do you want to join me? You can read about the "rules" of the program here, or you can review the recap of my first Whole30 here. It's hard but it's worth it! It's so, so worth it. … [Read more...]
Roots & Wings & Other Things
It's started already so go ahead and be warned. Last night, as the kids were doing their various kitchen clean-up chores... Our dry erase board's a mess but it works. Note that we cycle the chores based on the day of the week, and that my kids are extremely fond of butter. The high school senior starting fighting with the 4th grader. He … [Read more...]
My First Whole30
Alternately Titled: When Food's the Factor "You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north." Deuteronomy 2:3 I did it! I completed my first Whole30! (This was three weeks ago but … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
The "Can I do this? I think...maybe...I can!" Edition When I announced on Facebook, perhaps presumptuously, that I was beginning the Whole30 plan, some of my friends expressed strong negative opinions. I don't blame them, really. It seems counter-intuitive to not eat whole grains for a month, let alone forgo my beloved dairy. Look who's … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
Except weight! I mean, wait! I can't weigh in because I had my husband hide the scale! I really did and he gladly did so... Because it's not just about the weight. * * * Have you ever been having a conversation with someone when—all of a sudden and out of the blue—something they say ignites a spark in you? This happened to me last fall, when I … [Read more...]
Stuff and (not) Nothin’
Oh boy. I don't—do not—even know where to begin. Should I start with the reason that I haven't been blogging? There are two reasons, actually—one good and one bad—and involve my meeting with a brand new spiritual director (she's wonderful!) and my computer going kerplunk yet again. (I am typing this post on my husband's laptop. He's wonderful, … [Read more...]
