My Penicillin Allergy & Owen’s First Ear Infection
Well, we had a good run. Owen hadn’t been sick at all for the first ten months of his life. No fevers. No cough. No extra doctor appointments. I consider that a pretty good run – but I knew that couldn’t last forever. About two weeks ago on a Saturday night, I noticed Owen had […]

Allergy-Friendly Bakery: Sensitive Sweets
Growing up as a child with severe food allergies and dietary restrictions, I envied the kids and parents that could pick up baked goods from any bakery or store.

I have always loved working in the kitchen with my mom and my grandma on Thanksgiving morning. Even though both my brother and I have severe food allergies, my mom has always worked on giving us a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.
