I had the opportunity to choose some stickers from StickerYou to try. I couldn’t decide at first what to try. They have labels, food labels, and all kinds of cool stickers.

There were MANY judgemental comments on that posting by people. Here’s my take: if it’s not a safety issue, who cares? I… read more »

After almost a year of tests, tests, and more tests, and belly pain, belly pain, and more belly pain, and poop, poop, and more poop, we have a clue. A couple of the 4yo’s tests came back indicating that he may actually have a lactose issue. No? Really? I’ve been saying from the beginning that… read more »
