Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I have been so blessed that Broxton does not have any known allergies... 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...

With so much getting ready to start, I just wanted to remind parents of AllerMates ...  Between visiting Pumpkin Patches, going Trick or Treating or even at the local "Fall Festival" it would be a great idea for those you love that have allergies to keep AllerMates in mind...  I reviewed AllerMates in the past, but I just wanted to remind you again...  PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Parents of kids with allergies and asthma can take comfort in knowing their children can be a little safer this Halloween thanks to  AllerMates ®  products: bright, easy-to-see wristbands, dog tags and stickers to help make the people around them – at school, around the neighborhood, at others’ homes – aware of their ailment.

The Pesky Peanut - Book Review

Image
(Image from Amazon ) My grandaddy was a farmer his whole life. I remember getting peanuts and corn and all that yummy food fresh when I was growing up. So, I never really gave it any thought about people being allergic to peanuts... They had always been around and it just never crossed my mind! So, imagine my wonder when I had Broxton and they said just one of the reasons for not introducing peanuts early in life was because of peanut allergies. Thankfully for us, he is not allergic, but there are many people out there that are! I was happy to have the chance to review The Pesky Peanut Book and share it with you. The author of the book write it after dealing with peanut allergies with her son. Now, I hate that she had to deal with this, but at the same time, I am thankful that she wrote a book to share the information with all of us. The book starts with Kelly eating birthday cake... How something like a birthday cake could lead to the knowledge of this just yet again shows how much I...
