Simmi has had her first experience making muffins, and let me tell you, this child was in heaven! She loved pouring in all the ingredients, stirring it and of course putting her hands in everything. Her fingers would flitter as she stuck her hands in the agave nectar, she loved putting both hands into the [...]

We moved into our new home about two weeks ago and I was surprised at how well Simmi adapted to her new surroundings. The previous owners had two huge Irish Wolf Hounds and their hair was EVERYWHERE. We were told by them that they never let the dogs into the house since they were so [...]

Nothing can strike fear into the heart of parents like needing to return a potentially life saving over the counter medication like Benadryl. When I first heard the news that volunteer recalls were being suggested, I immediately went into panic mode.
Benadryl has become sort of a life line for us, and in many ways a [...]

Simmi has been through so much since November 09′. It started with her being allergic to our dog Sugar, making her itch and scratch, and feel totally uncomfortable. Then after the peanut M&M incident, her skin just seemed to get worse from there. Purple spots plague her torso, and her skin feels like sandpaper. Back [...]

As I think about the holidays, which is only a few days away, I can’t help but wonder what the heck I’m going to make this year for Christmas dinner!
Simmi is a meat hound, and thank god she can eat all meats, but becoming creative during these holidays has me drawing a blank as to [...]

On Friday December 18th, I needed to take my son to the doctor to get a sports physical. Whenever I have to take Simmi out to the store or anywhere else, that nagging fear of what is lurking on the floor or in some seat cushion is always plaguing me. I’ve learned to live with [...]

Yesterday as I was doing research on Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils, I came across this extremely interesting and promising article. I’ve been following some studies which tend to suggest that Omega 3 and 6 oils can help to assist in the speech of children with vocal Apraxia and of course I want to [...]

It has been a long time since I’ve written about Simmi and I apologize for not keeping up with my blog. I’ve had my own little mini health crisis as well as writer’s block which has made me completely unmotivated to even attempt to write. I’ll only be giving a brief synopsis of the different [...]

April hasn’t been the best month so far for Simmi. First she falls out of her crib and hits her head on the concrete, and a few days ago something else happened. Its all my fault of course, and I feel horrible about it.
Knowing how careful we have to be about introducing her to new [...]
