How do you find your true passion?
From the time I was 7 until I was 18, I wanted to be a professional vocalist. I didn’t even care about the genre- I wanted to sing. I have been classicly trained. I have also taken dance and I’m trained in acting. After I hit 18 (and started smoking), I realized I just wasn’t…

Well, we have the diagnosis for our 2 year old- lactose intolerant
She said we are doing all the right things and told us about the lactose chart and that lactaid milk does still have a lactose content. I just wish she reacted like I do so we wouldn’t have to worry so much but she also told us the hard part was already done. Now, we…

Well, we retested my daughter and she got diarrhea with the red rash after I made gf pancakes from a mix and used regular milk
It has to be milk. It’s been too long to be a 10 day virus. I’m just glad we already have good alternatives for the yogurt, butter and milk she will eat. We just need to find cheese. I’m thinking about just no longer buying anything dairy so she won’t be tempted and won’t have…

We took my 2 year old to the ER a few weeks ago.Â
We were told to keep her away from dairy and her diarrhea (reason we took her) was likely caused by a virus. Well, we took her off dairy and her diarrhea cleared up. We reintroduced it many times and the very last time my mom attempted to give her cows milk, she spit it out…

Is there a perfect number of gifts to buy your young kids?
As the holiday season is starting to wrap up, I have been noticing every thing other people have been buying their kids. I have seen some people spending as much as several hundred on one child with a cart full of big and small items. I have also seen some people buy just one or…

Christmas shopping for 2
We recently finished our Christmas shopping for 2 kids. We shopped for 2 girls- age 2 and 6. It is bittersweet. On the one hand, Christmas is a magical time- the kids love seeing the lights, decorations and love the cookies and gifts but it’s really hard knowing you should be shopping for a 2,…

I’m turning 30 in just under a month
I try to always set New Years Resolutions. I do it mostly for fun but this January is a milestone for me. I’ll be turning 30. I know 30 doesn’t seem old to many people, but I thought I’d be further along than I am. I feel like I’m right back at 19. I’m working…

I spent 6 years searching for a diagnosis
For my 6 year old. As of today, I officially have one. It was given first back when she was a tiny baby in the NICU but I went into denial. She went through hell for over a year. She was in NICU for 8 months, had 4 surgeries (2 heart caths to close 2…

Life with OCD
As far back as I can remember, I struggled with everything needing to be perfect. My first memory related, was when I was in early elementary school. I had to have my work perfect. By perfect, I mean it had to look absolutely perfect- if I looped a “B,” I had to erase but if…

Random thoughtÂ
When my oldest was little, she was easy to take care of. She was cautious, well behaved in public to the point where we got complemented on her behaviour. I stayed home for 4 years with her and hardly had to clean up messes from her. She also listened to “no” and quit the first…
