Hi, I’m Heather, a proud mom to two beautiful boys, one of whom has food allergies. As a mom, I know the challenges and joys of parenting, but being a food allergy mom adds a whole new layer of vigilance, creativity, and resilience. Chances are you’re either an allergy mom like me, or you’re interested in learning more about food allergy life. Either way, I’m happy you’re here!
My first born son was diagnosed with food and environmental allergies at 6 months old and in an instant I became an “allergy mom.” I remember feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Suddenly, everyday tasks like meal planning, grocery shopping, and even attending playdates became complicated. Above all, I felt the immense urge to protect my baby. Now, here I am almost four years later it all feels a little less scary, a lot more manageable and we’ve learned so much along the way.
On this blog, I share my personal experiences, tips, and insights about living with food allergies. From safe recipes and meal prep strategies to navigating social situations and advocating for your child’s needs, my goal is to be a resource for other parents who are in the same boat. Whether you’re looking for practical advice, emotional support, or just someone who understands the highs and lows of allergy parenting, I hope you’ll find something here that resonates.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope this space can be a helpful part of your journey, just as it has been for me.
