Today I’m going to let y’all in on my exciting life as of late, and feel free to tell me how you’ve been in the comments. I want to hear about you and yours too.

I’ve been feeling lost for the last week. In the midst of all the crazy respiratory illness crud that’s been running through our family (thank you Fall allergies), our youngest was diagnosed with asthma last week. The doctor said with his medical history, our family history, and several other factors, it just made sense. Looking [...]

Stefanie and I (mostly Stefanie) got a new blog up and running called The Parent Support Space. We outgrew The SPD Life, so we made the move to WordPress (I’m still learning), added a forum, and added some authors.
Today I blogged over there about one of my weaknesses as a parent – structure. I’ll be [...]

We have trees like this all over post. They’re gorgeous to look at, but wreak havoc on unsuspecting sinus cavities.

If you’re a regular reader here, you know that in my house we all suffer form allergies. This kids’ are the hardest to control because they have adverse reactions to traditional oral antihistamines. I’m always on the lookout for a natural product that may ease their symptoms. We were lucky enough to try a sample [...]

OK people, calm the eff down. Seriously. OK, so we have yet another foreign flu in our midst. How is this different from viruses past? We’ve most recently have bird flu and SARS. Go back further, and I had Bejing flu in 1996 and survived. Did it suck? Hell yeah! I was 16 years old [...]

It’s no secret that we’re an allergy laden household. My husband has the mildest case with only some hayfever in the fall. Aaron is the next one with Spring and Fall allergies, and then there’s Zach and I with year round allergies. Zach and I get the allergy injections (only 4 more months of going [...]

I have this love/hate relationship with being right. One one hand sometimes it’s nice to say “I told you so.” On the other hand, I just wish people would listen to what I have to say and take it seriously. I’m not an alarmist. I hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. I’m [...]

We’re still hosting Snot Fest 2008 if anyone wants to join us. I’ve managed to find some relief in the form of 12 hour Sudafed. I’m so glad they have the 12 and 24 hour formulas now instead of just 4 hour. We’re planning a weekend of staying home and staying in [...]

Not much to report here. I’m in full on moving mode as the movers come Monday. I’ve left it up to them whether we move half one day and half the next since they have to drive back down to the town where our new house is empty or loaded. It’s supposed [...]
