What's this all about? |

I'm a forty something working mom and wife living in Halifax, NS. I have a little girl with severe life threatening food allergies, who brightens my day with her smile. Between my husband and I, we are constantly working on keeping her safe. The word anaphylaxis has become a common household term and I can drive to the ER blindfolded. Life is challenging sometimes, and there are days when I feel like I'm living in the twilight zone, but we manage. This web site is my little corner of the web and my feeble attempt at documenting and organizing my highly dysfunctional way of thinking.
My daughter was diagnosed with multiple food allergies when she was five months old and a few years ago my husband was diagnosed with severe allergies as well. We have been dealing with food allergies and anaphylaxis for almost a decade. We've had a few close calls in the past but for the most part we've got it down to a science now. Their safety is my number one priority and I have zero tolerance for risky foods. I cook and bake practically everything you can think of. I am constantly on the hunt for new products that could make our lives easier without compromising safety. I am a proficient, self taught baker and home cook extraordinaire. I bake a lot and I eat a lot. I try to exercise a lot too between baking, cooking and a full time job.
Our daughter goes to elementary school and we are tirelessly working with school staff to create a safe environment for children with multiple food allergies. I created this web site so that others can learn and benefit from my experiences.
