Ultimate Blog Party 2012

Thrilled to participate in the UBP again! Last year was so much fun.

I started this blog several years after figuring out and dealing with food allergies for my oldest child.

A lot of mama’s were asking for help via forums and e-mail and after typing up the same information over and over again I finally decided a blog would be wise.

Not just for everyone, but for my sanity.

I blog about life, family and God over here and often neglect this blog, but a lot of the main help information stays the same.

I have been trying to be better at keeping up with this blog…

I’m hoping this blog party will help spark new friendships and new information, and maybe even some willingness to share with each other.

If you want a better story…your best bet is to start here.

New to food allergies? Struggling with what to do, I would suggest starting here.

Until next time,
