I just ran across the most wonderful magazine for families like mine, and I am guessing yours too.  It's called Living Without.  Perhaps it's not new to you but I do live under a rock.  I bought one issue and am hooked!  From cover to cover there is useful information for cooking with food allergies.  The current issue has recipes for holiday sugar cookies!  Our little girl can have Christmas cookies!  We can make them together!!  Oh there's even a gluten free flour breakdown.  Just amazing!  I will be sure to be getting this from now on.

Benadryl Perfect Measures is another.  Actually, this is not a new find, we've been carrying them in the "medicine bag" along with the epi pen jr. and albuterol.  But yesterday we used one in an emergency situation and it really made me kind of grateful / giddy / relieved happy that they are around.  My husband ate a chicken quesadilla at his parent's house and then kissed our daughter on the cheek.  Next thing we know she has hives right where he kissed her and they are spreading towards her ear.  Those perfectly measured Benadryl miracles were just what we needed.  My only wish is that we could know more about the plastic that contains the medicine. 

Finally, another mom whose blog I read religiously has just posted about an all natural eczema treatment by a company called Exederm.  She's having a give away, which is cool.  But way more cool is that this company claims their products contain:

No Fragrance
No Color or Dyes
No Parabens
No Lanolin
No Sodium Laureth Sulfate
No Propylene Glycol
No Formaldehyde
No Phthalates

Wow!  Check out her blog here...http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/2008/11/15/natural-eczema-control/#comment-78582
