Hey food allergy mom!

Is there really such a thing as an allergy-friendly resort? You want a vacation where you can actually relax, knowing your child is safe.

But searching online can feel overwhelming. It’s hard to find anything about allergies, and even then, it’s hard to know what allergy-aware actually looks like in practice. Are they talking about a chef who understands cross contact… or is it just a single gluten-free option on the buffet?

And the truth is, planning a trip with food allergies takes extra layers of research and preparation—because as moms, we can’t just book and hope for the best. We need to know what we’re walking into.

So, if you’ve ever wondered how to find an allergy-friendly resort, stay with me until the end—I’ll share the insider strategies I use as a travel advisor and food allergy mom, and you’ll walk away knowing exactly what to look for.

I'm cheering for you!

Hey food allergy mama!

This episode might be controversial, but today I’m talking about why I think celebrations with food like birthday cupcakes, donuts, and cookies don’t belong in the classroom.

Neither of my kids had food-free classroom celebrations, but this has been something I hoped for, for many years. And for different reasons than you might think!

In this episode, I’m sharing my astonishing reasons why celebrations in the classrooms should be food-free, and in case you’re worried that taking food out of celebrations will make school boring and full of misery, listen to the end for surprising kid and teacher-approved alternatives that make school super fun and exciting.

I'm cheering for you!

Hey Food Allergy Mom,

One question I hear from food allergy parents is: “Is my child ready to self-carry epinephrine at school?” Sometimes we think they’re ready, but the school or maybe their doctor isn’t convinced. We all know that having that epinephrine available right away is important, which makes self-carrying an important option. So, how do you know they’re ready, and what can you do to show the school they are?

In today’s episode, we’re walking through what self-carry means, and I’ll share some real-life tests you can do to help everyone feel confident that you’re child is ready.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a solid plan for figuring out if your child is ready to self-carry this school year—whether it’s your child’s first time or just a new grade with new expectations.

I'm cheering for you!
