I have decided that on January 1st
I’m finally going to commit to the 30-60 day Whole30 diet. As of right now, even sticking with strict gluten free, I’m right back to feeling sick all the time. I’m not sure if it’s dairy or if there is something else I’m now sensitive to but the Whole30 is the best way to find…

Things I Wish I Knew When I Was Pregnant
I have had a total of three pregnancies- my first ended at 28 weeks with a partial abruption and severe pre-eclampisa. She was only 1lb 11.5ozs and 13 inches long and spent a total of 8 1/2 months in NICU. She’s now a small but healthy 7 year old. My second was relatively uncomplicated but…

When my seven year old came home from the NICU
She was 8 months old, development of a newborn and was still tiny. She was on oxygen, feeding tube and heart monitor. I tried taking her out of the crib a few times but we had to switch at first from the major oxygen machine (plugged in to the wall) and switch to a small…

I never thought a bowel movement would excite me
I was always beyond disgusted about the whole concept. I still can’t say p**p without gagging but my 7 year old was born and we began a battle around a year with constipation. She’ll get so backed up at times, she has been hospitalized. There are times she’ll be so constipated, she’ll cry while doing…

This coming June I’m taking my first ever paid vacation from work
Since I’ll have a full week off, I have decided that the month of June I am going to try to do one post a day and come up with either 1 post or one article to submit to a magazine or blog every day through June. Coming up with ideas shouldn’t be too difficult.…
