Nourishing Friends - Helping Kids and Families with Food Allergies

Wow! The past several days have been a whirlwind. The Universe was talking to me (really screaming) and I finally decided to listen! So my first step was starting this blog.  Then, I started a local support group for kids with food allergies/sensitivities with one of my real-food foodie friends (and fellow Mom with food sensitive kids), Sarah Newman.  We had been throwing the idea around for several months and finally committed to a meeting start date of February. Well, our meetings will actually begin next month, but who is counting, right?

That's me and Logan toward the back

So last week, Sarah and I had a lunchtime pow-wow, with allergen-free food of course, including Enjoy Life chocolate chips fondue for the kiddos in celebration of Valentines Day, and decided it was time to start our support group. We were both energized and excited and I knew the time was NOW!  We figured out our date and time and then casually posted the details to our Facebook pages.  We didn't even have a name for the group but we were so excited and wanted to spread the word.

So the next day we realized we needed an official name and Nourishing Friends was created. Then, I immediately set up our Nourishing Friends Facebook page and created a Nourishing Friends Pinterest page. We are so excited and the response has already been incredible! There is definitely a need for this group.

Logan is starting to join in my excitement as I explained to him that he can be an ambassador of the group, along with two of his buddies, Sarah's oldest son and my friend Danielle's son. I think this is going to be life-changing for all of us!

Well, I've gotta run to get some hiking pants for my son's 2nd grade voyage that is TOMORROW! Oyve, nothing like last-minute stuff.
