People have always asked if Sophia will outgrow her eczema. It is gone most of the time now that she has eliminated certain foods, but I believe it was there for a reason and if we continue unhealthy habits it just comes back to us in a new form - we never outgrow it!<BR/><BR/>We have been accused of being over protective with our kids and a little weird for letting them wean from the breast and family bed in their own time and now with unschooling. But, I figure we can't parent to make others happy and we know our kids best. We can only follow our hearts when it comes to them. Anything short of that is not enough. <BR/><BR/>Overall, we have been very fortunate. My family, although maybe think I am a little weird sometimes, seem to appreciate the choices we are making for our kids and see what wonderful people they are. In fact, many have joined us in our parenting style. We definitely appreciate their support.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076282329093508289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-68091056768966178752009-01-13T15:46:00.000-06:002009-01-13T15:46:00.000-06:00It is amazing, isn't it?

I get a headache too, when I am around someone who is wearing perfume or some type of fragrance.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, part of our family doesn't really understand our restrictions. They don't even understand celiac disease... and my MIL asked me several times (after I had already explained about celiac disease) if it is something that I could out grow. I didn't know quite how to take that, since I am almost 25... and not a kid, despite the fact that celiac disease is of course not something you can "out grow"<BR/><BR/>They also don't understand my daughter's allergies, and almost think we are.... "too overprotective" and that we "keep her in a bubble" when that is of course not true. We know what she is allergic to, and we do what is necessary to keep her safe :)<BR/><BR/>I have found that when you make major lifestyle changes, some people almost get offended because it's not something they want to do.. and they feel like you are threatening their choices, which of course is not true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-79447786840587608792009-01-13T07:24:00.000-06:002009-01-13T07:24:00.000-06:00Heather, I bet that could be a challenge to elimin...Heather, I bet that could be a challenge to eliminate all chemicals. They probably felt naked! Over the years we have switched to homemade cleaning products and very natural personal items where now even the scented hand soaps at Whole Foods seem really strong. We have often opted out of any soaps in public,especially when my daughter had eczema on her hands. The other day at the doctor's office, I was surprised that I ended up with a headached just from looking at magazines that are filled with chemical samples. <BR/><BR/> What does your family think about your diet restrictions?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076282329093508289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-17013322326213191012009-01-12T16:10:00.000-06:002009-01-12T16:10:00.000-06:00and you look great!my daughter has allergies and i...and you look great!<BR/><BR/>my daughter has allergies and is very sensitive to chemicals and perfumes, fragrances etc. We just had some family visit, and it was really hard for them to adjust to *not* wearing all that stuff.

I always thought it a bit odd to see other women always wanting their hair to be whatever it wasn't (curly, straight, etc). In the past I had mentioned maybe wearing make up and my husband was always very put off by that. I think most men like women to just be who they are, and be confident of themselves. :) At least, that is, if you've nabbed a good guy like I did!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-66448751266441258852009-01-12T11:09:00.000-06:002009-01-12T11:09:00.000-06:00Earl and the kids never seem to mind how "bad" I t...Earl and the kids never seem to mind how "bad" I think I look.

(My mom REALLY likes it and has threatened to harm me if I color it again...LOL...funny, because she's 75 and still colors hers.)<BR/><BR/>My hair was very short when I quit coloring it, so having it all return to its natural color was a quick process. Now I'm growing it out a bit and there are days in this process when my hair is, let's just say, less than attractive. Oh well, I'll get there sooner or later.Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-17963235211874193102009-01-11T01:20:00.000-06:002009-01-11T01:20:00.000-06:00I think gray hair is more attractive than false lo...I think gray hair is more attractive than false looking colored hair. I am in the process of growing my hair out long. I wore it short for 26 years, but have wanted to let it grow long for a few years now. I was getting it cut about every 3 weeks or so, and have not had a haircut now, except for a trim, since August. I will have to post a picture of the "new" me soon. As soon as I get it where it looks decent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731276173410889180noreply@blogger.com
