Having a child with extensive food allergies can be devastating. Fear of anaphylactic reactions can be overwhelming. An inability to socialize around food or eat in restaurants can truly hinder social interactions. Never being able to grab a bite to eat can be extremely inconvenient. Because of my son’s food allergies we always have to make arrangements and plan ahead. We accept the fact that he simply can’t eat certain things and we take our family’s [...] I’ve been practicing yoga since September 2000 so some might say this announcement has been building for 11 years. Since I was a little girl I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. Today I will start on the yoga teacher training journey. My yoga path has been slow but continual. In anticipation of my second son’s arrival, and desiring to be in even better shape using the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth, I took a prenatal class [...] Many of my family and friends who have spent time with me in the last two months know I’ve been suffering from bone and muscle pain but resisted going to a doctor. At times the pain has been so severe in my shoulders and arms it prevented my normal physical activities. At first I thought I had “over done it” with my fitness routine (even though the pain arrived on a morning after two days [...] Usually my husband and I take our showers at night before bed. Last night we sat up talking late then decided to skip our showers. Ever since we had kids, this is a rare occurrence. This morning I took my shower, walked out of the bathroom, and put my pajamas on. My husband appeared to update me on the family happenings during my shower. As he was talking I realized what I was wearing. “Oh [...] Vegan Chocolate Chocolate Chips People don’t want to buy vegan baked goods. Last month the Long Island Press described how BabyCakes NYC opened a shop in downtown Disney World only to have to remove the word “vegan” from the signage: The shop’s teal signs touting their dairy- and egg-free treats proved too much for the mostly middle American, indulgent vacationers passing by. “It was more of a repellant,” said owner Erin McKenna. “People were just walking away.” After [...] Back on September 22, 2011, I switched over my Facebook wall to the new Timeline. As a Facebook App Developer, you could jump on board early. Ever since, I’ve been fairly delighted to have an online journal about my life since 2007. A decade ago you might have struggled to paste photos into an album with appropriate decorations and descriptions. The Facebook Timeline does it all for you. If you’re unhappy with yet another major Facebook [...] Lately I’ve hit some rough patches. Things haven’t gone the way I’d hoped. Crossroads can be confusing times in your life. One day my husband surprised me by saying I needed to watch It’s A Wonderful Life because I had made a difference in many lives even if I would never know it. Although I didn’t think it was obvious, at that moment I wasn’t certain of my accomplishments and his words gave me solace. In the [...]
Blogging has an “anything goes” reputation. Bloggers are known to go off on extreme tangents and tell you exactly what they think. Sometimes anonymous, sometimes angry, blogging has traditionally been known as ranting. For me, blogging is the opposite. Sometimes around elections I feel like I’m going to burst. Through the years, I’ve never been one to tell people how to vote. Often people ask me, even on Election Day, when they show up at the poles and [...]
Tomorrow I will join Rockville Living as the Managing Editor of the Style section of its new online magazine. This local effort is encouraging in so many ways. First of all, the editors are being respected as writers and are being paid. If you haven’t tried to freelance you might not understand the importance of this statement. The state of online publishing is dismal for many content writers. Some sites pay you a penny per hit or [...] |
