  1. Wow, you're so organized! And that bountiful basket sounds awesome.

    I'm new to your blog, just came across it this morning and read your About Me section. I can relate to so much of it! In June 2011 I got sick and my doctor didn't seem to care. I also lost 10lbs (and really couldn't afford it), went through a myriad of testing and finally (a year and a half later) ended up doing testing through Enterolab and found out I'm intolerant to gluten, dairy and borderline soy. I've been feeling better but it's definitely still an uphill struggle.

    Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that I found your story encouraging. And if you wanted to check out my blog, feel free! the-canadian-housewife.blogspot.ca
