If you have been around me before, you know that we have major issues with eczema at our house.  Broxton had it as a baby and outgrew it, thank goodness...but little miss Savannah?  Man, this girl has it rough!!!!  She has had a tough go with it off and on from when she was little.  It never really cleared up and was getting worse seeing her pediatrician, so I ended up taking her to a dermatologist because I thought it had to be something else if nothing was working.  Nope, it is eczema... she just has it REALLY bad and has SEVERE sensitive skin.  (Yes, we have changed detergents, watched food, used oils, tried a million different lotions and even had friends make different concoctions for her... nothing works.) We took her to an allergist when the dermatologist told us to do so and poor girl... she is allergic to everything (dirt, grass, trees, nuts, you name it) ...  Like, it would be best to have her in a bubble, but that is not fun... Friends and f...

I have friends that have kids with allergy issues and it is not a fun thing to deal with.  Even Broxton's school was a "NUT FREE" zone, meaning we could not send any nut products in for meals/snacks.  It really irks me that some parents get so upset about not being able to send their kid a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in for lunch and I have to question... if it was YOUR kid with the allergy, would you still say it was okay for other kids to bring these items in?  There are even some places that have big signs on their door warning of peanuts before you enter the building... I really did not know just HOW BAD it could be un...

We have been pretty lucky so far...  Broxton is 3 and we have not had any allergic reactions that we know of.   You see, some of our dear friends has a 5 year old that seems to be allergic to everything under the sun. Growing up, I never gave it much thought...  Then, we went to Five Guys Burger and Fries... On their front door is a sign that they have peanuts in their store... Then, you open the door and they have peanuts for you to munch on while your burger is cooked.  I thought about it then and was rather impressed that they took that extra step.  Truth be told, somewhere along the way, someone probably sued... I do not know that to be a fact, but I would think it probably happened.   Then, when our friends son was born, I became even more aware to allergies and how it impacts people... I love when you see people taking the necessary steps to be careful... That being said, I was surprised when I heard of AllerMates . Aller...
