Both of my boys are legally blind. They CAN see but even with correction they are only 20/90. So they needed to develop peripheral vision and depth perception and couldn't do that with glasses. Believe me, at first it was like feeding an octupus but once they were in and they could see better...

My boys have been wearing contact lenses since they were 2 yrs old (medical reasons). We had to go from 2 hrs a day to 3 hrs a day etc for 2 weeks. Just to get your eyes used to them. And as simple as it sounds, you have to remember to blink often. If you are painting or reading you tend to keep...

I am sooooo relieved that I am not the only one who dresses my dog!!!! Before she passed, the whole neighborhood used to stop by on Halloween to see what she was that year!!!! :D:D:D Come on Liann, my mom's mini daschaund is way too fun to dress. She has a raincoat and booties and a sweater...

Maybe I did not make myself clear I have never said what OTHER people should or shouldn't feed THEIR children. I was stating what I preferred for MY children. I said nothing about McDonald's or how people eat at home. I simply said that IN MY OPINION, the junk food at school was excessive...

Yep, that is exactly what USED to happen at our school. Then the policies changed and we only have Christmas and Easter parties!!!!!!! Catholic school These kids were getting some form of junk food EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!! And nevermind all the bags of googies that each parent brought in for that...

Thank you for that! I too am sorry if I came across as very strong and mean. Our lives revolve around an allergy that we have no control over. And the first time my older son needed to be placed on a ventialtor, I was very angry at God and people and myself and my genetics etc. I accept your...

If my child were the only child in our school with a peanut allergy, then I would seriously have to consider whether or not to send him there. But in our school alone, there are over 30 children with nut allergies (differing severities) Both of my boys are allergic to peanuts and don't eat...

I am absolutely amazed at the statement above. And to be really honest, quite angry. THAT ONE KID IS MINE. And he is 5 yrs old and must carry and self inject an epi-pen if he comes in contact with peanuts!!!!! So I am so sorry that it inconveniences one of your children to not have a peanut...

And every mother has the RIGHT to decide how to celebrate that birthday! Being a mom of children with food allergies, it is increasingly hard to keep them safe when a mother stops at a supermarket and picks up pre-made cupcakes made with nuts. I by no means deprive my children of a birthday...

This is a really difficult subject for me. I have 2 boys in school and it seems that everyday it is someone's birthday and the mom brings in donuts or cupcakes etc. My son came home one day with his whole lunch in his bag!!!! I asked him why he didn't eat it. He said " well Julie's mom sent...

Hi!!! Just jumping in to say how GREAT Gayle and Chrissy look. The hard work has paid off. It was great being with them this weekend. I was totally regretting not getting STS!!!! Especially since I had a hard time understanding everything they were talking about!!! And a little scared that...

I must say that 27 pages in I am still learning!!! Vegan shoes?????????? Never even knew they existed. I thought all good running and workout shoes were made with leather uppers. And I'm very happy to see that 27 pages in no one has truly flamed anyone. I LOVE to learn and spend quite a...

I am not a lurker, but have become less likely to post over the past few months. Unless the subject directly relates to something I am interested in or have substantial back up, proof, permission from my mother etc, I feel a little put off just offering an OPINION. An example is the thread...

The gift that keeps on giving Don't forget the NEXT DAY when you are barely able to lift your coffee cup in the morning!!!! :eek::eek::eek:
