Leaky Gut Syndrome and Autism

Have you ever heard of leaky gut syndrome? Or maybe you’ve heard of the possible connection between leaky gut syndrome and autism and you’re wondering- just what is leaky gut syndrome. I’ve been there. In that almost exact sequence- plugging into trusty Google “leaky gut syndrome and autism” Maybe it was one night reading about possible causes of autism or possible treatments for autism; I’m really not sure how it all came about. I just remember seeing the term and wondering just what the heck it was and how it could possibly be related to my daughter’s autism. Sure, I’d seen quite a bit of research done on gluten and how eliminating gluten and casein from the diet helped. But beyond that I hadn’t looked….

I love French toast though I don’t make it too often. It’s not that it’s too much of a process, just that I don’t always feel like standing in front of the stove and babysitting my breakfast. Recently though, I discovered a few recipes for baked French toast. My interest was peaked because it looked like the ideal way to make it. So, I decided to try it with chocolate milk and ended up with an easy baked chocolate French toast recipe. Next time I do this, I’ll probably try a different bread but I just wanted to use what we had on hand. I may also adjust the amount of cinnamon that I used, but for the most part- this is definitely a keeper….

Try this quick and easy variation on egg salad, with just two ingredients.

Two Ingredient Avocado and Egg Salad

Recently, I had tried out a recipe for deviled eggs (one of my personal favorite appetizers) and instead of using mayo, the recipe called for avocado. Now, I’m a huge fan of anything with avocado in it so I thought- why not give this a try. The end result was a tasty treat so I had to reason that if it worked with deviled eggs, it should also work with egg salad. Same process, just different application. I love egg salad sandwiches and yes, I’m one of those people who will eat egg salad on it’s own. I also love avocado and again, I’m just as happy to eat the avocado right from the skin with a spoon. So combining these two in a simple,…

Figuring out the best autism treatment options can be one of the most overwhelming things following an autism diagnosis.

Treatment Options for Children with Autism

Perhaps one of the more overwhelming things after receiving Sweet B’s diagnosis, was figuring out the best possible ways to help her. At the time, she was already receiving special education services, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy at home. But, it was also evident that she needed more support. As her mom, of course, I felt that I was more than qualified to help her in whatever way possible but I also realized that I was limited in my abilities. That’s not to say that I couldn’t have learned or that I couldn’t have prepared the type of environment that she needed. But what she needed was also beyond my own ability to provide. So it was at that time that I started…

On the weekends, I love recipes that can serve as both breakfast and brunch. Sometimes I get the chance to sleep in on the weekend so having a handy brunch recipe is always nice. But even on those weekend mornings where I can’t sleep in (which is more often than not) I still enjoy having a hearty and filling breakfast that will keep me going throughout the day. Because of this, I like to have recipes on hand that have eggs and at least once a month, I make this eggtastic weekend breakfast bake. Sometimes I’ll make it during the week as it does reheat well. This particular breakfast bake is also loaded with sausage, spinach, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and cheese. You could certainly…

I will preface by saying that these are inspired by the children’s book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and that I am in no way, shape, or form affiliated with Bill Martin Jr. or Eric Carle. We just happen to be fans of the book and I have this clipart that I purchased for a printable pack so I thought- why not! This is my first attempt at creating printable Valentine’s Day cards for kids and I hope to have a few more ready for you soon. I also plan on doing a set of printable packs with the Brown Bear clipart so hopefully we’ll have that soon too. We’ve done tot school very informally this year so far and it’s mostly…
