About 9 months ago my daughter had an allergic reaction to something.  She had a severe rash and an asthma attact.  We took her to the doctor and after treating the symptoms decided to remove wheat and dairy from her diet.  That meant absolutely no more of her Dad’s favorite dessert Tres Leches (at least [...]

My daughter is very opinionated about food.  She is not a picky eater in the sense that she wont eat certain things but she definately thinks she can eat what she wants when she wants.  Last night for instance Ryan had a bunch of friends over for a Halo Party (for those of you who don’t [...]

I absolutely LOVE Halloween!  I love dressing up, I love decorating, I love parties, I love candy, I love scary movies.  My husband and I have been throwing a Halloween Bash every year since we got married.  Saturday was our fourth party and I would venture to say the best yet (so all of you [...]
