Hives in the Kitchen

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.

It's Not a Joke: Food Allergy Awareness

FARE has launched a new campaign to raise awareness for food allergies. Here's their newest video clip:

You can read more about the awareness campaign and find more information on their website.

Have you experienced bullying due to food allergies? Thankfully we have not experienced extreme situations, just clueless or careless people who brush us off or make snide comments. I've only cried a few times.........and I'm sure these situations will happen again. I'm just so thankful for those who are so gracious about our allergies.
