Welcome! We are a homeschooling family in Texas- so we've never been normal by any standards- but with the addition of our third little one, we have entered into the overwhelming and really unfun world of food allergies. Our little girl is allergic to egg white, wheat, soy, dairy, peanuts, sesame seeds, bananas, avocados, pineapples, melons, tree nuts, coconuts, flax seeds, quinoa, and sunflower seeds. This is our life as we stave off starvation and try to maintain sanity.

Our Allergy Kit
We don't leave the house unless we are armed and dangerous-armed with an Epi-pen and, well, dangerous because we might go into anaphylactic shock any second. Can life be more exciting?!
To stay safe, we bring along our entire kit attached to the diaper bag with a giant carabiner. It's hot pink and monogrammed so you can't miss it or mistake it's contents. This pouch goes wherever Bee might go. Here's what we carry with us:
2 Epi-pens
1 pack of Benadryl Fastmelt Tablets-these are the tablets that dissolve in your mouth-no water needed
Benadryl Cream
Benadryl Gel
Cortizone 10 Cream
Neosporin
List of all allergens
List of emergency contacts-including doctors
