Well, my stem cell procedure happened and I’m still alive. Good news, right? Hee. I spent the night at my Mom’s and woke up, took a shower, and made some eggs. Usually I don’t eat until later but they wanted me to have a full stomach. I took an Ativan at 7:30 and hoped it […]

Guys, I’m a little nervous! I’m getting a stem cell treatment tomorrow. It’s the new family business so I’m taking advantage of the family discount and going for it. It’s been known to help auto-immune disease like the ones I have. While I don’t have horrible awful symptoms, they are still there and if anything […]

The drawbacks of having a chronic auto-immune disease is frequently being asked to get blood drawn. I hate it. It’s awful. I know, I know that EVERYONE hates it, no one likes needles, and its sucks for everyone. BUT. But… I haaaaate it more! It’s very odd but I have tiny parts like fingernails, teeth, […]

“Can I try those? Oh wow! I LOVE Brussels Sprouts!” said my child. Blessed with a girl that loves greens. She is still on Miralax daily though and I swear, one day, we will try grain free and see if that helps her. Don’t be jealous. I still have to hold the younger ones nose […]

I love keeping up in Feedly and seeing some of my favorite bloggers post every day. I’ve been trying to write more (which is why I’ve been posting lately) and hopefully I will keep up my posting to get me in a good place for writing more frequently. Today I saw a few posts on […]

Have you read Wheat Belly yet? It was popular a few years ago. I follow a different diet but the concept of no gluten is the same. My Mom had it and lent it to me. Actually, I’m not sure if she meant to but the book was in her car when the hubby was […]

Ever since I got pregnant with Griffin and started having health issues, the computer has always been my friend. When I was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2010, I always include Dr. Google in all my research. However, Dr. Google always leads me to fun sites such as Lifescript! Lifescript has a whole section on Crohn’s […]

I’m thankful for my husband today for being so calm in the middle of my freaking out. 🙂 I bought new vitamins last week and I have been waiting to introduce them to not upset any progress I’ve made. So this morning I decided to try four of them. One of which included Niacin. Everyone […]

I’ve been eating coconut oil lately. I have always heard it is ‘great’ because it’s better to cook with it than extra virgin olive oil. I started just getting very small spoonfuls and holding them over my broth to melt it a bit and then just eating it up. Plus, actually cooking with it. Â Unrefined […]

I am now singing Bon Jovi in my head. You are welcome. So, I have had this bump on my head… for a very long time. I remember it at least 8 or 10 years ago. I don’t remember it when I was a child so it popped up at some point. It is a […]

Soccer is over for the season. We finished it off very well. Sam’s team was #1 in her category for the season. However, last week in the playoffs, the girls were not feeling it and lost 3-0. Sam turned out super sick that day and the rest of the girls didn’t seem to be doing […]

I raced down to Newport right now to attend a beautiful wedding at the Turnip Rose. It’s a beautiful setting outside next to a water fountain. Tonight I am thankful to be early enough to grab a spot next to the heater. 🙂 My health diet is going wonderful but I ran into a snag […]

I am trying eggs right now. OH MY GOD, I haven’t had eggs in years. They are so good. I am trying to eat them very very very slowly to see if my body decides they like them or not. Of course, they are the farm raised, organic diet eggs from Sprouts. Cross your fingers. […]

I posted this photo on Facebook the other night: Mmm, my breakfast and lunch for the next week of bone broth and homemade yogurt (fermented 28 hours) is ready to go in the fridge! Aren’t you jealous? Then I cracked up at all the WTF comments I got from it. I’ve been on the Specific […]

Trying to get healthy makes me want to scream. Yes, I’m frustrated today. It will pass 🙂 My GOAL is to get a list of foods that I can actually eat without having diarrhea. So fun, right? Thanks Crohn’s! Honestly, I was getting by but I could feel my health slipping very slowly and I knew […]
