Where To Begin?

As Ive said hubby came home on R&R and we did some things that I wanted him to be there for like Lil C's allergy test. It was a skin prick test and if you have ever had one, you know they suck. They prick your back with dozens upon dozens of stuff you could be allergic to and make you wait there while your back is itchy and hurts. Turns out, hes allergic to pretty much everything he likes to eat: wheat, bananas, oranges, peas, peanuts, oats, soy, peaches, onions, shrimp, corn, squash and probably more. I keep having to refer to the test results because its so bizarre to me. Who is allergic to corn? Special diet here we come!
We also went to see his developmental pediatrician and he was officially diagnosed with PDD-NOS which is on the autism spectrum. I always knew as a Mommy always does but its still hard to accept/admit. Therefore in addition to all the rest of what has to be taken out of his diet Im also taking out dairy/casein. Theres an "autism" diet that many have seen awesome results with and since its only one more thing to take out I figured its worth a shot. It limits an already limited special diet because of his allergies but if it helps Im willing to give it a go. Special diets have been known to help many diseases and help people live the best lives they can so it makes sense to me. Im not going to get too detailed about it. Just know that probably a good 80% of our food is going to come from Whole Foods or online specialty stores which is going to be pretty pricey for a family of 4. Yep, we're all going to do this diet. All for one and one for all.
If you read all this and are still with me, heres a few goodies I have found as of late!

Busy As A Bee

The past few weeks have been so extremely hectic. Im constantly busy with something, either house or kid related. I know thats usually a mother/housewifes life but it seems totally multiplied since moving into our house. I have almost completely neglected this blog and I do apologize but finding time hasnt been easy. Anyhoo, I thought Id try to get caught up with the goings on in my life.



I got this planter a few weeks back at an antique mall. Nope, still no plant in it. Im using it as a catch all at the moment.



This should be in my dining room. However, I dont want any of my pretties broken by tiny hands so I decided to use it as a book shelf. The stand was bought at a flea market a couple years back. The radio was handed down from my mom, and the other shelf is vintage purses.



As I was going through boxes of stuff we had packed up before (ya know all the crap you dont know what to do with, and when you go through it later, you still dont know what to do with) I came across this utensil holder thats been MIA for literally years(for super cheap spoons and forks). I hated the cheap stuff and hated the idea of leaving stuff I was going to eat with out in the open even more(germs!). I looked at it and thought it looked a little bit space age (maybe its just me?) and a lightbulb went off to use it to display the jewelry I wear the most.

Pretty genius if you ask me. Then again, Im easily pleased. It came at a time when I was scouring Ebay and Etsy for a cute girly vintage one, but free is better for me. I also like the idea of repurposing stuff.
ALSO, 72 followers! Holy shitfire! Thats amazing to me. I dont kid myself into thinking 72 people really read this blog but even if 10 actually did I would be super flattered. So do 10 people really read this blog? ::This is a test. It is only a test.:: I doubt it but I thought Id check. Anyway, there may be a giveaway when I reach 100. Not sure what I will giveaway but its a thought in my brain.
