visit to the dietician...

We've just come back from visiting the dietician for Briahna. She basically agreed with what we are doing with her diet and gave me some interesting websites to check out, so I thought I'd post them here in case any of you were interested too!

We will probably need to do some more investigation into whether or not Briahna is allergic/intolerant to chocolate as at easter she threw up major time after having a dairy free/gluten free easter egg! :( This means a little bit of a bland diet for a few weeks and then testing by introducing a small amount and waiting for a reaction.

Anyway, here are the websites;

http://www.actagainstallergy.co.nz
http://www.mfd.co.nz
http://www.allergy.org.au
http://www.aaaai.org
http://www.foodallergy.org

I am really impressed with the manufactured foods database, and need to take a better look at that one!

The joys of allergies, at least Briahna doesn't go into anaphylactic shock!

Trust you're all having a great day!! :)

Never mind, the bad photoshopping skills, what do you think?

refashion | bag from dress...

Not sure how it'll work due to the small neck/handles, but I loved this little woollen dress and the embellishments that were on it, so I thought I'd give it a try!

good times...

organising all my buttons with a friend...

and watching her daughter and mine dance the day away...

Favourite things Friday...

is back!

Today, my favourite thing is yummy Dilmah Earl Grey Tea and hot toasted cinnamon raisin bagel's for breakfast!

I love, love, love this cute wee teacup, saucer, plate set that my good friend Cathy gave me for my birthday last year!  Most of the time it stays put in the china cabinet, but today it came out to play! :D

I think we need to relish and use more of our favourite things, no point having them cooped up, unused in the china cabinet, eh!
