These were so good! Keagan and I baked some Sunflower Seed Butter cookies yesterday. These are free of many major allergens, though if you can’t eat egg, you would have to use a substitute.
I pieced together a few recipes to try and make a gluten free peanut free alternative to a peanut butter cookie. Here’s [...]

Monsters!

Keagan had a blast with this activity. I cut out four head shapes, several sets of eyes, noses, random shapes, mouths, hair etc in multiple colors and had Keagan create “monsters.” It was a great Halloween craft for him because in addition to being fun, it reinforced his knowledge of shapes (circle nose, oval head [...]

The past week or so has really been a blast with Keagan. I told you all before about Keagan’s Halloween Faeries. Well I’ve been having to come up with gifts for him each night ever since he decided that the Halloween gift exchange with the faeries was not just a one night thing. We were [...]

Um, That’s Not What I Meant

So in yesterday’s post, I told you that Keagan and I made a paper chain to count down to Halloween and that I’d explained to Keagan that when all the chains were gone, we’d put on a costume, go out and get candy for the faeries and we’d leave it under our “faerie tree” where [...]

For the next two weeks Keagan’s homeschool theme is Halloween. We started today and we’re both already having a lot of fun!
Since we’re still going to do some letter work the next two weeks, we started with an “h” collage this morning. Then we read three books to fit our letter theme, “Harry Hungry!” by [...]
Planning for Allergen Free Halloween
Posted in allergen free, cooking, fall, family, halloween, holidays, tagged allergen free, cooking, dairy free, gluten free, halloween, nut free, soy free on October 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Since we can’t have virtually any prepackaged candies, I thought I’d look for some fun recipes for Halloween. We are soy, gluten, dairy, shellfish, nut and citrus free. We also avoid high fructose syrup. So there’s just not much left for us to eat without going through extra efforts, especially when we want to celebrate.
It [...]
Pumpkin Patch!

We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch! We had to take a half hour drive to get there, but we wanted organic pumpkins since we’ll be baking, and as an added bonus, the farm uses heirloom seeds! They were worth the drive. If you’re looking for a pumpkin patch in the Puget Sound area, I highly [...]
Fall Fun

We went to the park to collect leaves for “L” week. I forgot to bring the “real” camera, but I did have my cell phone. I captured some of the fun that ensued.
Pretty leaves!
He got distracted… he found some faeries in the tree.
And where was Miss Eden during all of this fun? She [...]

So I’ve had a problem my whole adult life with laundry. My laundry room has ALWAYS been a mess. There have always been piles and piles of clothes everywhere- on the dryer, in the hamper ALL over the floor. Every time we’ve moved (and it’s been a lot) I’ve had to move big baskets [...]
