allergy safe Halloween

As Halloween quickly approaches (eek! I guess it’s time to finish up the kids costumes!), I wanted to share some ideas for staying safe with food allergies while you trick or treat this year.

FAAN has some great trick-or-treat tips here.

Happy Halloween!Have fun and stay safe!

Our family is growing!

We are so excited to share the good news with all of my followers. These 2 amazing kids are going to be a “big, big brother” and a big sister in April!

Here I am at 16 weeks. Finally feeling great 🙂

Fare Walk 2013

This past weekend was the Massachusetts FARE walk for food allergies. The Massachusetts walk alone helped to raise over $95,000 for food allergy awareness, support and research. Our little team, “Team JT”, did it’s part by raising over $1000 and we feel pretty great about it!

It was a very soggy day, but we didn’t let that get us down. Everyone there was ready to walk and have fun. JT spent the day feeling very special that all of those people had come out to walk for kids just like him, and he was also proud to be doing his part as well, as he kept reminding me that HE was walking for THEM. He’s got such a kind heart 🙂

It was really great to see the support for and from food allergy families. I can’t wait to walk again next year!

Thank you to everyone who helped with the fundraising for Team JT and a VERY special thank you to Aunty Janeen, Uncle Kev, Aunty Katie, Erin, Jenna, Reese and Aunty Kellie for all of your support! We love you!!
