If you suffer from environmental allergies &/or asthma, I have some exciting information coming up for you…you know how I am always on the prowl for anything that will keep my kids from the cycle of infections and allergic reactions? I’ve found some cool new stuff that I believe will really help others, and I’m going to blast about it here–soon!
Not tonight, though…I’m just back in town from St. Louis and I’m going to crash out for the night.
Stay tuned, though!

Going places with serious food allergies? Click here for one of my clubmom articles on the topic. I love your comments, thank you!
Sample feedback from the clubmom site:
This is a great article. I have a 6-year-old daughter with severe milk, peanut and tree nut allergies. It’s comforting to know that there are other people out there that understand what we go through continuously. My daughter has been in Soccer, T-Ball and Dance and we’ve had a good response with the other parents doing their best to accommodate my daughter’s allergy needs as far as snacks go. Our biggest challenge is trying to find safe foods for my daughter when we go out to places like Disneyland. We always have to find out if the particular restaurant or fast food place has an ingredient book of their menu items. It’s frustrating when you ask if particular item has milk and they say no and when you insist on seeing the ingredient listing on the packaging of that item you find out that it does have milk. It just goes to show you cannot take someone’s word for it, it’s vital that you insist on seeing ingredients for yourself. Thanks again for a great article! God bless!
Your feedback makes my time worthwhile! Thank YOU!

Yes, today is Sam’s birthday (happy fifth, Samuel!), so we are off to the beach right after I post this entry.
In this episode of Allergy News - All the News that Itches:
If you need me, send me an email at allergyware@gmail.com, leave a comment, or call the toll-free line.
I forgot to say this, but the winner of the latest allergy shirt giveaway is the lovely lady from the previous podcast…whose email I can’t put my fingers on right this second. She’ll be getting an email from me asking for her address ASAP…if I don’t call first.
Thanks again! Enjoy, have an allergy-free day!
(He has grown so much since then!)

A very clean, simple design to raise awareness of peanut allergy–a good conversation starter.
Thanks for the request, Danielle!
Someday I will get this added to allergyware.com. In the meantime…here’s the link:
Peanut Allergy Awareness (with a hint/tint of pink) 
Friends, I am so behind on allergy news. I got the video segment done, which I hope you enjoyed, but the audio is hopefully going to get recorded sooner than later. Allergies have had my whole family in a bind lately–although, we did get a new Dyson and a steam vac, and hope to have some sort of new air purifier in place before the end of next week.
Thanks for your patience!!!

Well, we took a jaunt out of town this weekend to visit Thomas the Tank Engine in New Haven, KY. Wonderful time, but upon returning to the smog and pollution of the Louisville area, three out of the five of us got sick.
The baby, who just turned one on the 26th, was miserable, up all night coughing and having what sure seemed like a full-blown asthma attack. I was lethargic (highly unusual) and our 3 y.o. was coughing all night. The coughing was going on before we left, didn’t occur while we were out of town, and started right back in when we got on the Watterson Expressway (which circles Louisville).
Do you have experience with this sort of thing? I’d love to hear your stories. Please call 1.888.65.GCAST and enter CALL.LESLEA and pin number 1111 “#” and start talking.
In the meantime, Allergy News podcast will be delayed, obviously…and the news I need to include just keeps piling up! :O
Talk at ya soon–I hope to hear from you in the meantime.
