Mommy Moment | Fighting Food Allergies
Well, well, well… look who decided to end the quiet blogging streak! Before I get into my post, I just want to say something. You know what I’m starting to notice? Sometimes I go through these moments when I just don’t know what to write on my blog. I have these dry spells I guess where I feel my context is not reaching anyone. I don’t know if it’s because of the way WordPress is set up where I’m not able to have subscribers or if it’s another reason I’m not aware of maybe. Hey, I’m just guessing here… but when I feel this way, I find that I stop writing. Today, I told myself I will not get stuck up in my emotions and I would just write, so here I am.
So, welcome to a moment with Shona! I want to talk to you about something 2 out of 3 of my girls have been going through, and that’s food allergies. My 7 year old Rèinah was tested in 2015 and it showed that she was severely allergic to peanuts. My husband and I never gave her peanuts, but we did notice she had a small reaction to something we gave her, so we had her checked. She has to carry an Epipen Jr everywhere she goes just to be on the safe side. And our 2 year old daughter Lovèah was tested when she was a year, and results showed she was allergic to eggs & tree nuts. She too had to carry an Epipen Jr.
I felt so bad for Rèinah because she felt like she was missing out on so many treats that not only her siblings had, but her friends as well. I try to find food without peanuts and it’s so hard! Especially if I shop at Aldi or Walmart. And if I find foods that don’t have peanuts, I always have to check the “may contain” section of the ingredients because it lets me know if the food was processed in a nut factory. If so, then I would have to give Rèinah Benadryl beforehand. What child wants to take medicine before they can enjoy a meal or some cupcakes?! I guarantee no one is running up to you waving their hands yelling, “me, me, I do, I do! “ Let’s face it, it’s just challenging handling kids with food allergies.
So, it was time for an allergy update for not only Rèinah, but for Lovèah as well. Lovèah had blood work done 2 weeks prior and it showed that she is NO LONGER allergic to eggs & she is NO LONGER allergic to all nuts from the peanut family! I was sooo excited to hear about these results! It shows that kids can definitely grow out of allergies. Now, since we found this out, we are needing to do something called a food challenge at the allergy clinic. If you’ve never heard of this type of challenge, it basically means I need to bring the food item that my daughter was allergic to to the clinic and she will eat it in the doctor’s presence. If she has a bad reaction to it, then the doctor will be able to take charge of the reaction right at the clinic. This procedure takes 3-4 hours! That’s a bit long, but hey, it’s ok because it’s better to be safe then sorry. This is just making sure the test from the blood work was on point.
As for Rèinah, I will be taking her to get her blood work done tomorrow morning ( Tuesday, March 13th). So we should have her results soon after that. While we were at the clinic, the doctor checked Rèinah’s breathing because she has asthma. Rèinah did a breathing test where she would have to take a deep breath and blow all of the air into a machine. The numbers showed her breathing was weak, so her doctor listened to her lungs & it showed she had some abnormality. So she had to do a breathing treatment. After that, we waited 10 minutes and tried her breathing test again & she passed! So from now on, Rèinah would have to use a spacer {a long tube that attaches to her inhaler} every time she takes her inhaler. This way, we know the medicine is reacting her lungs. And after that, our appointment was finally over lol! We have a productive day even though Rèinah missed school.
Do you have children with allergies or asthma too? I would love to hear some of the food you have found for them. I feel as mothers we can help each other out quite a bit because most of us go trough the same things. I look forward to hearing from you.
Until next time, “laugh hard, love harder, capture each moment & sprinkle a little joy in someone else’s life.” – XO Shona
As I read your blog post I thought about the many unexpected challenges moms and dads have to face with their children. Thankfully I haven’t had any experience with any of my kids with regards to food allergies but your post was definitely an eye opener as to what’s inconveniences it involves such as the use of an epipen or taking Benadryl prior to treats etc…… Thanks for sharing

A more organic way to see this coast is by the multi-day coastal ferry, the long-running Sarfaq Ittuk, of the Arctic Umiaq Line. It’s less corporate than the modern cruise ships and travelers get to meet Inuit commuters. Greenland is pricey. Lettuce in a local community store might cost $10, but this coastal voyage won’t break the bank.
The hot ticket currently for exploring Greenland’s wilder side is to head to the east coast facing Europe. It’s raw and sees far fewer tourists, with a harshly dramatic coastline of fjords where icebergs drift south. There are no roads and the scattered population of just over 3,500 people inhabit a coastline roughly the distance from New York to Denver.
A growing number of small expedition vessels probe this remote coast for its frosted scenery and wildlife. Increasingly popular is the world’s largest fjord system of Scoresby Sound with its sharp-fanged mountains and hanging valleys choked by glaciers. Sailing north is the prosaically named North East Greenland National Park, fabulous for spotting wildlife on the tundra.
Travelers come to see polar bears which, during the northern hemisphere’s summer, move closer to land as the sea-ice melts. There are also musk oxen, great flocks of migrating geese, Arctic foxes and walrus.
Some of these animals are fair game for the local communities. Perhaps Greenland’s most interesting cultural visit is to a village that will take longer to learn how to pronounce than actually walk around — Ittoqqortoormiit. Five hundred miles north of its neighboring settlement, the 345 locals are frozen in for nine months of the year. Ships sail in to meet them during the brief summer melt between June and August.
Locked in by ice, they’ve retained traditional habits.
“My parents hunt nearly all their food,” said Mette Barselajsen, who owns Ittoqqortoormiit’s only guesthouse. “They prefer the old ways, burying it in the ground to ferment and preserve it. Just one muskox can bring 440 pounds of meat.”
Challenging our perceptions of ‘perfection’

With health influencers raising the bar for success, the wellness space now often feels like a performative space where people strive to showcase peak physical and mental strength.
While seeing others’ achievements can be motivating, it can also be discouraging if your progress doesn’t match theirs.
Each person is chasing the perfect version of themselves — whether it’s a body or a lifestyle — which is dangerous because this is typically an impossible or dangerous version to achieve, Curran said. He added that this type of comparison creates a dangerous cycle in which people constantly feel dissatisfied with their own progress.
“It’s a fantasy in many ways, and once you start chasing after it, you constantly find yourself embroiled in a sense of doubt and deficit,” he said.
Curran also noted that wellness challenges can be particularly damaging for women who struggle with perfectionism, as they tend to be bombarded with impossible beauty standards and societal expectations.
Renee McGregor, a UK-based dietitian who specializes in eating disorders and athlete performance, encourages people to approach wellness trends with curiosity and skepticism. That’s because some influencers and celebrities could be promoting products because there’s a financial benefit for them.
“The thing to ask yourself about the person you’re taking advice from is what do they gain from it?” McGregor said. “If they are going to gain financially, then you know that they (could be willing) to sell you a lie.”
Whether you want to try a new challenge or product that promises amazing results, McGregor suggests doing your research and seeking diverse perspectives, including consulting with doctors when possible.
New design revealed for Airbus hydrogen plane
beefy fi
In travel news this week: Bhutan’s spectacular new airport, the world’s first 3D-printed train station has been built in Japan, plus new designs for Airbus’ zero-emission aircraft and France’s next-generation high-speed trains.
Grand designs
European aerospace giant Airbus has revealed a new design for its upcoming fully electric, hydrogen-powered ZEROe aircraft. powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
The single-aisle plane now has four engines, rather than six, each powered by their own fuel cell stack.
The reworked design comes after the news that the ZEROe will be in our skies later than Airbus hoped.
The plan was to launch a zero-emission aircraft by 2035, but now the next-generation single-aisle aircraft is slated to enter service in the second half of the 2030s.
Over in Asia, the Himalayan country of Bhutan is building a gloriously Zen-like new airport befitting a nation with its very own happiness index.
Gelephu International is designed to serve a brand new “mindfulness city,” planned for southern Bhutan, near its border with India.
In rail travel, Japan has just built the world’s first 3D-printed train station, which took just two and a half hours to construct, according to The Japan Times. That’s even shorter than the whizzy six hours it was projected to take.
France’s high-speed TGV rail service has revealed its next generation of trains, which will be capable of reaching speeds of up to 320 kilometers an hour (nearly 200 mph).
The stylish interiors have been causing a stir online, as has the double-decker dining car.
Finally, work is underway in London on turning a mile-long series of secret World War II tunnels under a tube station into a major new tourist attraction. CNN took a look inside.
Of course, he said yes to coming back to the series, which eventually required him to live in Italy for a few months for filming.

During production, White revealed to Gries that Greg is “very sinister.” That became rather irrefutable by the season’s climax, which saw Tanya’s demise orchestrated by her now-husband.
Come Season 3, Gries had to rewrite Greg’s backstory again, this time drawing from some unlikely sources for inspiration, like HBO docuseries “The Jinx,” about late convicted killer Robert Durst, and the case involving the man who came to be known as the Tinder Swindler.
Gries said he was struck by Durst’s “kind of seemingly even keel personality,” which served as a model for where Greg was headed, someone “who doesn’t really show a great deal of emotion, doesn’t seem to get too angry, just gets a little bit irritated and is dangerous.”
“There’s a bridled rage underneath. And those kind of people I find – at least with respect to Gary, Greg, Gary – fascinating,” he said.
And yet, while searching for an empathetic way back to portraying his character, Gries kept wondering if there was anything still redeeming about Greg.
An important “wake up moment” came during a decisive conversation he had with White just before filming in Thailand, in which the show’s creator said of Greg, in no uncertain terms: “He’s a psychopath.”
“And that was it. It was like, ‘back to the drawing board.’ And it really did help me,” Gries said.
The penultimate episode of the series will air on Sunday, an evening that thanks to “Lotus” and other shows has again become a night of appointment viewing amid a general move away from binge watching. Gries said he appreciates the shift.
“We’re a society that in a weird way doesn’t understand the beauty of waiting. The beauty of the space between the notes,” he shared. “If I binged (‘White Lotus’) I’d feel like I just ate too many chocolates. It just wouldn’t be the same. You need to process this.”
“The White Lotus” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT on HBO, with the episode available to stream on Max. HBO and Max, like CNN, are owned by the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.
