I’m a mama of one cute little lovebug, with another lovebug
on the way! My husband and I live with our lovebugs in the greater Philadelphia area and we both work
full-time. This makes for quite a busy life, and leaves little time for cooking
healthy foods for my family. We also
have to spend a little more time thinking about the foods we’ll eat because my
first little lovebug has food allergies to peanut, dairy, wheat and egg. We hope he’ll grow out of them soon, but in
the meantime we’re trying our best to avoid those allergens and create a
healthy and balanced diet and life for him too.
Our busy schedules and his food allergies make me even more
determined to live a healthy and balanced life, and provide wonderful food for
my family. I’ve always loved all things
healthy. Why? Because it makes me feel good! I feel better when I eat healthy and whole
foods, when I have time to exercise or do fun things outdoors, and also when I
have time to relax my body and mind. To
me, this is the pinnacle of balance.
I created this blog for a few of reasons including:
·
I’d like to connect with the healthy living and
food allergy community in a more powerful way.
I get great ideas from reading a number of healthy eating and food
allergy blogs, and I’d like to share some of my own ideas and favorite things
with others.
·
I’d like to have one place to store all of my
most successful recipes. Especially
those which are “allergy-friendly” for our lovebug! I’m no foodie, but I’m constantly on the
lookout for tasty and allergy-friendly recipes that everyone will love. This blog is my place to organize and
showcase them.
·
I haven’t found a great place for
toddler-friendly and allergy-friendly* foods and I frequently look for new food
ideas for my toddler. So I’m hoping this
will be a great place to share some ideas (including hearing new ideas from
others)!
·
I hope this blog will be an outlet for some
unbridled creativity that’s been brewing inside of me! I’d appreciate an outlet to create: Create content, create food and hopefully
create a positive space in the world.
*Note – I used the term “allergy-friendly” instead of
“allergy-free”. I feel like NO foods are
allergy-free since there are so many diverse food allergies that exist. I’m also frequently tricked by “allergy-free”
recipes that actually include my son’s allergen in them. So, allergy-friendly is my term for foods
that are allergy-friendly for my son’s specific allergens.
