I am here

We used to travel extensively. Weekends for leisure and weekdays for work. We also used to work like dogs...80-hr week was a common theme. That all came to a stop when I found out I was pregnant with bebis. Seems so long ago.

Ever since bebis was born, I took an extended leave of absence and decided to stay home. Work can always wait, I figure. I wouldn't want to miss bebis' first smile, the first words, the first crawl, etc...wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Those who have known me for a long time were (and still are) surprised by my decision to stay home. "You'd go crazy!" said some. "It's very tough!" said the others. Well, have I been known to do things the easy way? I quite enjoy it. Yes, he is a handful especially because he has so much energy. But that's ok. Much rather have an active and smiley baby than a round blob.

So here is our journey...

The verdict is in

So the verdict is in. The little guy has been tested positive for wheat, peanut, egg, and soy allergies. So the quest is on to find friendly food without the allergens.

I never realized how many different ingredients are mixed into one seemingly simple food item. Let's take chocolate for example. Who knew there is soy in that?! Not just one or two bars/brands. After looking through more than 20 different bars in various different brands, they all contain soy! Same goes for all of the asian marinades in our fridge...there is soy in everything.

Guess it's time to clean up our pantry....
