Most of us are used to negative self-talk. But what if we flipped the switch on ourselves, what if we switched to saying something like: "I love myself for who I am"? This is your affirmation for today. It might feel very simple, but I want to remind you and everyone out there: The loudest voice tha...

Cute face paint right? For an allergy parent it is not that simple.

We went to a harvest festival with some friends over the weekend. And they were offering free face painting. The kids were SO EXCITED!!! But Ptolemy had the look of disappointment on his face. He knew the chances were slim he would be able to get his face painted. He has reactions to a lot of soaps and detergents and hand sanitizers, so we are very cautious about what we put on his skin. (We tried a small portion of face paint a while ago and it instantly made him itchy.) But this time wanted his face painted, he wanted to try it again!

I did a quick asking around of what brands were the face paints (so I can look up the ingredients. They seemed okay), did some research and found out that there was emergency staff on site and where they were location in the festival, and triple checked my EpiPen‘s and emergency supplies.

I weighed our options and in this case felt like there’s only one way to find out. It is so hard because I don’t want him to miss out on activities his friends are doing, and part of his childhood. And I also don’t want to play roulette with his health...

He ended up getting his face painted like an adorable little fox with no reaction!! 🎉🎉

For all you allergy moms out there…. I see you! I’m with you!! Sometimes what seems like simple and insignificant choices to others feel like mountains!

P.S. He was thrilled!!! And opted out of glitter. Because “not sure it its safe” 🥰🎉

Hello! It was just brought to my attention that there is a fake Facebook account using my photos and imagery. Under a false name. If you see any of these please report them to Facebook and let them know that these are fake accounts and if you could also share them with me so I can track them to make sure that they are removed. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

P.S. social media is weird. 🥴
