I had a childhood filled with emotional torment, surgeries, foster care and abuse and really didn't know what it meant to be a child. My quest is to be the best mother and wife I can be and to provide my children with lives full of love and nourishment. Things I never had growing up. This is a blog about my life and my journey not only as any regular human being, but as a mother and wife, something I really didn't know I wanted until I had it.

Exposing your kids to "dirt" is important for them to build immunity and new research suggests it can also help ward off allergies. I sort of deal with it like food - most things in moderation. Obviously you have to use common sense. I'll let my daughter play in a ball pit but I wouldn't let her touch, say a cutting board that I just cut raw meat on. Hand and mouth is pretty common, yep it sucks but think of it as another immune building opportunity!
Well, this is right up my alley. Were're getting done with Hand Foot & Mouth right now (from my older sister's daughter) and are refusing to go to my parents house until they get over their (currently 2-month) bout with MRSA. They think i'm crazy about refusing contact with the MRSA-infectees, but there's NO WAY I want that anywhere near my family.
True story: I was shopping with mr. pants the other day when he picked up a cheeto he found on the ground and ate it before I could get to him. A worker saw this and was obviously grossed out. I said, "well, he's doing his part to build his immune system" lol I was mortified. But it was too late for anything other then levity ;) I do think it's best to let them get dirty though. The more their tiny bodies fight of when they are little, the better. There is a lot of research that suggests that they are healthier in the long run for it. :) And (((hug)))) to your little guy! HF&M is AWFUL! Lots of popcicles and cool baths helped my kiddies.
EEEWW!!!! When we were getting our maternity pictures taken in Sedona, J myster almost picked up a crack pipe that was by one of the creeks we were shooting by. Thankfully Hunky Hubs caught it in enough time and it never touched his little hands. I'm so thankful for that!
Oh. My. Gosh. OMG! That is so much worse than a dirty cheeto. I'm so glad he didn't touch it!!
J's Cousin has had MRSA since he was like 1 off and on, I'm kind of afraid for the two of them to play together. I don't know a lot about MRSA, but I do know that his cousin's sister who is 8 months old now has not gotten it yet nor has his parents, I don't think. I'm really nervous about this one.
