I have been tagged with this new Thinking Blogger Award by my Sister, Christine. She says that I make her think with dealing with Kayla’s dairy allergy. Living with it daily, I don’t see it as a thought-provoking topic as much anymore, but I guess it is for those who don’t deal with it. And I’m sure that when we leave her house from a visit, she thinks how great it is to have control of her house and kitchen back. ;) Thanks for the award Chris.

So now I am supposed to list 5 blogs that make me think. If only I had time to think? Anyway, here goes…

• Janeen is a Mom that I met on Baby Center on their food allergy message boards. She has been a great help and support to me. She is a great source of ideas for living with food allergies. And with her son having multiple food allergies, she’s an inspiration in all the dietary needs she juggles.
• Jennisa is also a Mom to a food allergic child and I just found out we also share a journey of infertility in common. I love to read about her love and devotion to her daughters as well as the rest of her family.
• Zany Mama never fails to make me laugh with her wit and amusing stories. She has a son who has multiple food allergies as well as asthma. She shares her struggle with taking care of him yet always has a refreshing sense of humor and a unique spin. Her way with words never ceases to amaze and amuse me.
• Michelle‘s blog is dedicated to her beautiful and fun-loving daughter who happens to share the same name as my oldest. She also has Down Syndrome. In her blog she shows what a blessing her little girl is and I love to read about Kayla’s spirit and the stories Michelle shares.
• Berta is another Mom from Baby Center, so of course that means she has a child with food allergies, so that is a huge thing in common. But I also love to see the Digital Scrapbook pages that she posts.

Thanks girls for all the great info, the laughs and sometimes even the quick escape from reality!
