OK, I decided (after an extensive search) to go back to my original design… but my handsome husband has to help me change the header. So for now, enjoy this retro throwback (from a year ago.)

God has unique ways of teaching us lessons, doesn’t He? Back when we had removed all dairy from Brady’s diet, Nate and I would often say things like, “At least it’s not soy! Soy’s in everything.” Or “At least it’s not gluten. Gluten would be hard!”
As it turns out, all of those things we had [...]

I have some adorable coloring sheets to upload. They’re artwork courtesy of Andy and Brady.
However, my blog isn’t wanting to upload them. So, I’m looking more seriously at a new template. That’ll show it, huh?

Just a quick note to let you all know that tomorrow marks three weeks of allergen-free foods for Brady. Three weeks without gluten, soy, eggs and 25 other things his little body doesn’t like.
That may not seem like a big deal, but I’ll tell you… That first week just about pushed me over the edge. [...]

I have no authority to turn this blog into a gluten-free recipe site, but someday I may just be able to offer some help. I recently posted about our “tortillas,” which are still saving us a bundle of cash.
I’ve priced special gluten-free breads, and the range from $6 to $8 a piece, and they’re small [...]

To the best man on earth… Even if you do have your heads in the clouds most of the time, I still love you oodles. Happy 31st, Handsome.

Funny how God lets us learn lessons of humility in just the funniest ways, huh?
Our two oldest boys, Andy and Brady (5 and 4, respectively) got baptized this past Sunday. Afterwards, the Pastor was talking to them and sharing a few words of encouragement. “It’s so great that you wanted to obey God and do [...]

Things have been chaotic around here… well, more than usual.
My handsome husband celebrates the big 3-1 Wednesday, so we had a pseudo surprise party for him yesterday. Our two oldest boys, Andy and Brady got baptized at church yesterday, too. It was definitely a special day.
To prepare for company, I spent much of [...]

Ever since we got Brady’s “diagnosis” of 28 allergies, I’ve been praying for resourcefulness and creativity.
Fact is, I’m surrounded by great resources. Many people at church have food allergies in their families (none as many as my sweet boy, but they know how to play the game.) We are also blessed to live in an [...]

I let the boys’ hair get a little longer on the top during the winter months. I somehow think it keeps them warmer. In the summer, I attack them with the clippers.
Their hair is just starting to get long enough to look shaggy, so I shaped the edges with the scissors. On Andy, this method [...]
