I’m happy to report that for the first time since Simone has been born, she does not have cold urticaria. What is cold urticaria?

Cold urticaria (ur-tih-KAR-e-uh) is an allergy to cold temperatures. With cold urticaria, exposure to cold temperatures causes redness, itching, swelling and hives on the skin that [...]
Since Simmi can’t eat potato chips or corn chips on the GAPS Diet, Dom has been making her the most amazing alternative chips.
We slice butternut squash very thin with a mandolin, brush them with a little organic olive oil and sea salt and dehydrate them for 12 hours in the oven on the “warm” setting. [...]
I will be transitioning Simone onto full GAPS by the end of January and I am a bit apprehensive about it. Its not that I don’t believe in this diet, it comes from more of knee jerk reaction to the fact that rice milk will be phased out. She loves her rice milk and its [...]
Yesterday Vicki, Simmi and I took a ride up to Sam’s Club to pick up lamb for the 28th (We’ll be celebrating Christmas then) and then to Williams Sonoma and Kohls. For those of you who know me, I do NOT like going to the stores, especially during the holidays, but I made an exception [...]
Caring for a mischievous child like Simone is not easy. We’re still working on a plan for her bedroom and how to complete it. We also need to find solutions to keeping her room looking great. She breaks everything still so we’ve been very reluctant to fix her room up. If she finds a jar [...]

Happy Birthday Simone! Thank you for being in our lives and making each day so special for us. Even though you don’t understand what a birthday is, you like the birthday song! We’ve been practicing with you to say “I’m four” and to hold up your four fingers. Sometimes you can do it, sometimes you [...]
I never thought I’d see the day when I would agree to send Simmi to school, but here I am to say that we are giving it a trial run. Don’t get me wrong, I want her to go to school, I just don’t know how possible it is going to be to keep her [...]

Simmi loves going into our back courtyard and playing on the swings. She loves throwing a ball back and forth and then running after it. She also has a great affinity for rocks of all shapes, sizes and colors. She loves to collect them, put them in her pockets or a bucket and carrying them [...]
