Open Blog, Insert Foot
Last week, I published a rant about the EpiPen ad that was dangerous for food allergy families and misleading to the public about the true dangers of food allergies. The ad was real, and my remarks about EpiPens were 100% truthful. I like to add some impact to my rants and stories by using comparative more
I know I’m the Always Sick Chick, but this is ridiculous…
I know I’m the Always Sick Chick, but something’s gotta give! Generally, when I say that I’m “always sick,” what I mean is that I’m chronically ill with one or more conditions – allergies, asthma, anxiety, depression, etc… But honestly, since the end of August, we have caught every single virus that has passed through more
Sick and Tired of Food Allergy Discrimination
We see school bullying happening against kids with food allergies, and it’s not just from the kids. It’s from teachers and other parents. It disgusts me.

Unfortunately, I have been without Internet service for the past week more
Mighty Milk is NOT Milk Free – When Dairy Free isn’t Dairy Free…
Looky here – it says right on the Mighty Milk display box that it is Milk Free – or rather “Contains No Milk.” “Wow!” I thought. That’s really neat. Why haven’t I heard of this product before? So I pick up the box to check out the ingredients. Before I go any further, if you’ve more
Getting Healthier in 2011 – June Health Goals
Getting healthier this year is my number 1 goal. If I can get healthier, I figure everything else will fall into place. I will become a better wife and mother, have more energy to do the things that I need and want to accomplish, and just improve my quality of life dramatically. It is my more
