I noticed Sidney walking funny at the zoo on Sunday afternoon but didn’t think anything of it until i changed her diaper and noticed a sore on her “freckle muffin” (thanks to Blue Man group for that terminology) that bled a little. Fast forward to [...]

I have written a lot on here with my struggle to get Jackson to eat. Since he was diagnosed as failure to thrive, I have always had the challenge of getting him to eat. Not just a square meal or a healthy meal, but anything. Because of this, I always worry about his nutrition. Is he getting [...]

Ella’s Kitchen {Review & Giveaway}

August 27, 2012 20 Comments

As a mom of 2 kids, I’ve learned that despite having the exact same genetics as each other, siblings can be total opposites.
