Hubby and I went to hear the kid’s doctor give a lecture about NAET a few weeks ago. Usually I attend these kind of meetings. But this time, I hired a babysitter so we could go as a couple. NAET is an investment of time, energy, chaos and hope. I have to admit I was just trying the next thing … [Read more...]
Out Past 8:00
May 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Following up on my post from yesterday… I believe I’ve mentioned before that I am a “routine” type person. Most people who know me would say that is a huge understatement! Anyway I would say this was about 4 years ago the kids were probably 4 and 5. We went as a family to a friend’s … [Read more...]
I need to get out more!
May 27, 2010 By 2 Comments
The weekend before last our family went to a cookout with 4 other families. The whole family had a great time. As we were sitting there I turned to hubby and said, “Why don’t we do this more? This is great”. I know why we don’t… because we have to pack a refrigerator full of food just … [Read more...]
NAET update – the end of the basic 15
May 25, 2010 By 3 Comments
Last week we had only one NAET treatment. It was for acids. Hopefully this coupled with the base treatment last week will really help the kid’s digestion of foods. Yesterday Lizzie had the last of the basic treatments, hormones. Job redid yeast since he didn’t pass that one. Boy was … [Read more...]

Breads from Anna
May 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment
When I first started the GFCF diet two years ago, I spent a lot of time and money experimenting with different manufacturer’s GFCF mixes. One of my first big successes both in taste and nutrition was the pumpkin bread mix made be Breads from Anna. After I knew my kids liked the bread (I made … [Read more...]

Namaste Sugar Free Muffins Lizzie likes to cook. Unfortunately I am not patient. I need work! This muffin mix was the second mix I received from Namaste for review. You can read my review of the Namaste Chocolate Cake here. Lizzie does not get many carbs. They make her hyper. So when Namaste … [Read more...]

Namaste review and my first giveaway.
May 17, 2010 By 21 Comments
One of my favorite companies that make allergy free foods is Namaste. Lucky for me, I found them early in our GFCF diet years. What I like best about them is that I can take their desserts with us to a party and no one knows they are gluten free. Last month I contacted Namaste to see if … [Read more...]

Garden Update
May 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment
When I first shared my garden pictures with you, I was planning on posting weekly updates. However, I did not think anything had changed in my garden since last week. I was wrong. Little starts. I can’t wait to see what will grow by next weekend! How about you? Are you … [Read more...]
Bees don’t scare Me!
May 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment
My kids have a phobia of bugs. Our fully finished basement goes largely unused because of spiders. It is amazing what you will do to avoid a child’s melt down. When the kids were little I had to drive 2 miles out of my way to go home and not pass “the cone” ice cream place. Even in … [Read more...]
NAET, milk and an invitation
May 13, 2010 By 4 Comments
I have the beginnings of tens of blog posts running through my mind. I have wanted to sit down and write for days, but every time I do, I end up doing the same thing… rereading NAET blogs. I have many more blogs I read (95) I won’t list them all, but lots more to add to my blog roll. The only … [Read more...]
Gluten Free, Casein Free and off the “diet”?
May 12, 2010 By 5 Comments
I have been dreaming a lot lately about what my life would be like when the NAET treatments work and the kids can eat yeast, bread, milk and fast food again. What will change? Immediately I thought about fast food and a lower shopping bill, but will it really be that much lower? Last week I … [Read more...]
Haiti
May 11, 2010 By 1 Comment
It is hard to believe the earthquake in Haiti was just a few months ago. The natural and man-made disasters in the month of April alone dwarf any other time period I have lived through. I have mentioned before that my kids are adopted. When the story of the Haitian earthquake broke, Anderson … [Read more...]
Duck Eggs
May 9, 2010 By 4 Comments
Last fall we found out the kids were VERY allergic to eggs. I had a hunch, but the testing showed both a true allergic reaction and sensitivity to eggs. So we pulled them out of the diet. Many of the good tasting gluten free baked products use eggs. Using egg replacer, carbonated water and … [Read more...]
White noise – coping with stress
May 8, 2010 By 3 Comments
I have always been a light sleeper. When I was a child my parents would run a small fan in my room. When I had children, I used a hall fan to block out noises to help the kids sleep longer at naptime and bedtime. When we travel, I bring a box fan. A few years ago on our family trek to Florida, … [Read more...]
Square Foot Gardening
May 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Last year I bought lumber, an expensive soil mix and started 9 vegetable gardens. The key word there is started. My dad was very sick and passed away last May. Needles to say the summer was hectic, busy and terrible for gardening. Luckily I did plant about 20 strawberry plants and 5 red … [Read more...]

Having the kids wear gloves for 24 hours and covering all metal knobs in the house with socks could have been … [Read more...]
