New Year: Ready or Not?
With the year coming to an end, there is so much to look back at. Our kids have learned mommy can make gluten free donuts and daddy can fix anything with super glue Ok that does seem insignificant, but trust me to my boys those are no small tasks out of the many that have been accomplished this year. No matter how you look at it, being a parent is a challenge. Then, add in gluten free and it can get over-whelming. I admit I have not always been the person I am today, but I have evolved out of necessity. I have become a more empowered me. This year has been a major year of attempting to take control of the situations I can and reminding myself (as much as I would love to) that I can’t control...
Read MoreRiega Foods Review & Giveaway…2 winners!!
I am going to give a little insight into the lives of a 100% gluten free household. In our household, I will estimate that we are at least 75% homemade due to limitations either of quality, options available, etc… Before going gluten free, I can say without hesitation that our family was not committed to any companies. We used to be like the average consumers, shopping for the best prices to save money. The days of saving money aren’t necessarily over, but it is more of a challenge. Gluten free living requires a bit of faith in the companies claiming they are what they say they are, so my dedication to companies has increased. I wish there were more companies like the one offering this giveaway. Gluten free living doesn’t mean we deserve over-priced or...
Read MorePreparing for the Holidays
While preparing for the holidays, I always feel a sense of isoation. We have a celebration at home, so we can have all the christmas traditions gluten free. As for stepping out of our bubble, there are the people who say they are not inviting us because it is an inconvenience and the people who have unofficially elected me do all of the grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Speaking of, I am way behind schedule on my shopping and cooking for Christmas As Hunter gets older, I refuse to let him see how cruel people can be. It scares me that if this is how our family treats our son, then how can we expect the rest of the world to accept him. It is so frustating feeling all that added work and pressure; however, there are...

Read Morebath & body works: "committed to helping consumers improve emotional and physical well-being" unless gluten free?
I used to be a customer of Bath & Body works pre-Celiac. When we first started dealing with purging products (companies) for the health benefits, Bath & Body Works was contacted. They responded that there was no Gluten free list, but i could tell them a product to find out. 3 years ago things were different and i admit gluten free was not as mainstream so i stopped shopping there. 3 years later: I am now revisiting the past and trying to get questions answered…I contacted Bath & body Works again. It amazes me that nothing has changed. We are on our 9th email with little progress. They do not provide ingredient lists online and i refuse to go to the store only to look at the ingredient list on every single item. They have since apologized...
