Relocation

Almost 5 years ago I moved to New York City with a dog and a car. This week I left with a family! I never could have imagined what my life would become at that time.

Crying, yelling, tantrums, silent treatments and vexing was involved...and let's not even start listing the behaviors from the girls! lol!  To make matters worse, our lives were completely uprooted by the two little girls' excema problems. We've been seeing a dermatologist and went on an elimination diet as well as an allergist for the baby. Results: MLK is allergic to dairy, eggs and all nuts except almonds (pretty much). Wheat is a major trigger for MLK's excema so, I let her indulge every once in a while but I've really gotta keep tabs on her intake. So, now that I'm on the
