Finding a safe food for your child can be a challenge, finding a safe chocolate can be even more challenging for a child with food allergies.  Most chocolate contains soy, nuts, or processed around those allergens.  My daughter suffers from a food allergy called FPIES.

Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) is not your typical food allergy where you would see hives, fast reaction, anaphylaxis, these are IgE-mediated.  FPIES is Non-IgE-mediated, meaning you can’t do skin/blood tests, it’s typically an internal manifestation however more people are saying their children also suffer some external symptoms like eczema.

Gymboree clothing is perfect for back to school clothes shopping for the kiddos, and even just because.  In fact whenever we go to a baby shower I love to get a few outfits for baby from Gymboree!   The clothing quality can’t be beat and the styles are ALWAYS the cutest!  We just went to Wildwood, NJ in July and Kay needed a bunch of outfits for our adventures.  We found a bunch of deals on clearance too!  The shorts above are actually a YEAR old.  She wore those shorts last year!  What I love is that I can actually buy her an outfit this year and it will fit next year.  The colors don’t fade, and the material holds up so well.

I’m sure you’ve heard of White Manna in Hackensack NJ even if you don’t live IN NJ.  Thanks to Diners Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri my favorite already packed burger joint is even more packed! I’ll never forget going the first time.  I was a fan of White Castle Burgers at one point in my life and can’t believe I even ate them now.  When Chris and I walked in I felt like a sardine in a can and heard the sound of the grill sizzling.  You walk in and wait for your order to be taken while you stand and wait.  McDonald’s is right across the street with their “burgers” too.  However this place always has a wait – why?  It’s because they actually have real ingredient filled food.
