Are you there blogosphere, it's me, Cora?

I am automatically in love with anyone who caught my reference to Judy Blume. Wasn't she just the best for all us girls who grew up in the 80s? An adult who actually got it? I digress.

To say it's been awhile is an understatement. And an inrony given my last post was about being deep in the motherhood. Ok, everyone has goals, doesn't mean we always meet them. But I try. And now that school is out, I'll try again. But I make no promises. That would just be setting myself up for failure.

I know I have one subscriber out there that isn't my husband. I actually have no idea who you are, but if you'd identify yourself (and accept my apology for my absence) I'd be grateful. It might actually help me write more if I knew I had an "audience". Oops, I digressed again. I'm always doing that.

There's been a lot going on around these parts lately. Most importantly the clan gave up gluten. Huh? Say what? Back in April I got diagnosed with a gluten allergy and we all decided to give it up. The results? I was drug free in allergy season for the first time in 15 years. I have more energy, no ecexema, and an undying craving for all things chocolate chip cookie. Honey's adult acne is gone, and Lovey's itch till she bled ecexema is gone. I repeat, gone. After a week of not eating gluten. So clearly we were all unknowingly putting something in our bodies that didn't make us feel very good. Being gluten free has been challenging and much more expensive, but also totally worth it. One of my many summer goals is to start another blog all about this experience and complete with recipes and product reviews. (I know, my one reader thinks I'm crazy. "She can barely keep up with one, now she's gonna have two?) But I try, I just make no promises. Look for a link to the new one later this week.
