My son’s food allergy is not a fad

Posted on February 3, 2017

It was a classroom party. There was a sign-up sheet taped to the door, inviting parents to bring various items. You know the drill: plates, napkins, cups, juice boxes. Scribbled at the top of the page was a little note: “No dairy products please.” I smiled, because I knew that note was there on account […]

Here’s a look at a “pizza” our day

Posted on January 15, 2017

There’s ice on the ground outside. It’s collected in tiny icicles on the roof and patio furniture. Just looking at it makes you cold, which means it was the perfect night for a warm meal – and we chose one that was both fun and delicious! Since Russell has a severe allergy to cheese, we […]

The true cost of big medicine

Posted on August 31, 2016September 23, 2016

When I became a mom, I didn’t know what would be in store. Would I eventually become the typical picture of a “soccer mom”—with sports drinks and cleats littering the floorboards of my SUV? Would I be the parent of a musician, carting my son around to band practice? A mom of all boys? A […]

When a rash isn’t just a rash

Posted on July 15, 2016September 22, 2016

Call me naïve, but I don’t think there’s a parent in the world who wants less than the best for their children. No mother actively seeks out their child’s pain, heartache, or loss. It’s impossible. Given that parental second-nature, you can imagine how difficult it’s been navigating through my sweet Russell’s health problems. The worst […]
