Thankful Tuesday

With Thanksgiving coming up I though I would share some things I’m thankful for and some random life updates.  If you follow me on Instagram than you are probably aware of most of these things.  For all you other readers here you go! 

First: I LOVE footie pajamas!  I can never find any in my size so I force the kids to wear them.  Here are the twins in them this weekend.  Aren’t they the cutest feet?!  Ok – yes I’m biased!

Second: Have you noticed food cooked on an open flame tastes better?  We spent Saturday night at a friend’s farm and cooked hot dogs, chicken tenders and s’mores.  The best hot dogs are the ones that have a touch of black on them from fire.  I planned poorly and left my GF graham crackers at home so I had s’mores minus the cracker.  However a nicely toasted marshmallow between two pieces of chocolate does hit the spot.  Here are two brands of graham crackers I use: Schar and Kinnikinnick.

Third: I’m loving Erica from Celiac and the Beast’s new book.  She is cracking me up!  I love her 100% honesty and crazy stories.  If you ever want to read a hilarious story of one girl’s relationship with Celiac Disease this one is it!  Once I finish it I’ll do a full review.  As a preview she talks about farting in public as well as pooping your pants.  As a Celiac I can relate to those 🙂  Erica drank red wine while writing it so I felt it fitting to drink red wine while reading it.  At one point I laughed so hard I spit some on the book.  I know Erica is proud!  I’m also sporting one of her awesome tanks in this picture.  You can buy them on her site. 

Fourth: I love our community!  There is so much support and love among people with food allergies and Celiac Disease.  I would be so lost without you all!  Thank you so much!

And Fifth: I had a friend have a breast cancer scare this week.  As a community of friends we prayed for good news.  She texted me yesterday with this… (the green is me)

To celebrate the kids and I dropped off a bottle of bubbly at her house last night.  I don’t know where you are spiritually but I believe in prayer. 

Happy Thankful Tuesday!
