Guys. I’ve been yelling writing into the void for a
whole year! Every Friday!* 53 posts and still going. I still have things to
complain about! I’m the Hanukkah oil of food allergy observations. Definitely
not always helpful, but I’m still here, writing a blog, like it’s 2002. To celebrate,
I’ve decided to dole out some awards to… myself.
THE MOST READ POST
I guess if you came here to learn about food allergies, that’s
a good place to start. And the good news? I've done two more posts about food allergy testing now that my kid has grown from a baby to a one year old to a toddler. From false positives to false negatives (c'mon skin tests, you are the worst) to oral food challenges, we've been through some stuff. But no matter the age, one thing is always the same: if you go the allergist, you are going to be there FOREVER.
THE LEAST READ POST
I don’t want to point any fingers… but it’s a terrible name
for the product. But that doesn’t mean the post is bad! And the stuff itself is
pretty good! Just like liquid teddy grah…. You know, all of their marketing could
use a little work.
THE ONE I WISH EVERYONE WHO FEEDS MY KID WOULD READ
Food Allergies and Food Labels
You gotta learn to read a label! You just got to!
Love, every allergy parent in the world
THE MOST HELPFUL/LEAST READ POST
You know, if I had access to more mental health resources, I
probably wouldn’t have started this blog. I could have processed my feelings in
a much more successful way: in therapy. I even started following The Food Allergy Counselor on Twitter and it's got so much good information.
THE FUNNIEST POST
Was It Worth It: Fancy Blender Edition
I love my fancy blender. But it is not an exaggeration to
say that it is the loudest thing I have ever operated. Smoothies have never
been so good. Ear drums will never be the same.
THE POST WITH THE MOST COMMENTS
The Best (Top 9 Allergen Free) Toddler Snacks
Remember when I used to get comments? *sigh* Those were the
days. So what if 3 out of the 4 comments on this bad boy were the same? A comment is a comment. This post also wins the award for best image. You guac to love a good pun!
THE POST THAT UNEQUIVACALLY PROVED I AM GENIUS
Remember my whole post about COVID and food allergies? Turns
out Annals of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology didn’t need to run a whole
survey, they could have just asked me for my opinion! COVID did actually
decrease some food allergy stress (since we were trapped at home and less risk
of exposure to allergens) in most families. I will take this win and extrapolate
that I am right about everything else, too. Year 2 here I come!
*or Saturday… or maybe Sunday… but definitely weekly
What an informative year it has been! Thanks for all your hard work!
