Since he was a baby, Bash has had severe food allergies to dairy, eggs, nuts, and sesame. His dairy allergy is so severe that I had to use the Epi Pen after he had an anaphylactic response to less than a teaspoon of greek yogurt and we also had a scary episode where we needed to call an ambulance after he was exposed to almond flour and cheese particles in the air. So we are sending lunch instead of the school-provided lunch and summer camp is our first test.
Thankfully, (allergies aside) Bash is generally a pretty good eater for a 3 year old. While he can’t get enough of french fries and bacon, he counts broccoli among his favorite foods (as it “will make me big and strong like daddy”), likes a healthy dose of spicy foods, and usually enjoys trying new things (at least sampling a taste and then giving his opinion). For dinner, we never make him a separate meal and I’m not shy with spices and strong flavors; rather, he eats the family meal and I’ve tweaked our recipes to avoid the foods he’s allergic to.
To make it easier during the week, I spend time over the weekend menu planning. I’ve been doing this for our week night dinners, so it’s a simple extra step to coordinate lunches. I prep his lunch box (see our review of lunch boxes here) the night before and keep it in the refrigerator overnight so mornings are a breeze (okay, it’s still hectic, but this helps control the chaos). I try to make everything cold-friendly but have asked school to warm up a couple of entrees (in which case, I use the Planetbox Glass Satellite dish).
Here’s a recap of our dairy-free lunches from our first week of summer camp! And, if you’re looking for a new lunchbox, our friends at Stuck on You are offering a 20% off discount off the Bento Value Packs (use BASH&CO18 promo code to redeem; good through September 2018).

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from
PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the
expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for
about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a
way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
Any help would be really appreciated!

First off I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not
mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I’ve had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10
to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure
out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Cheers!

Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a
few months of hard work due to no data backup.
Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

I have frequently taken into consideration precisely how pressing it can be to recognize our individual limits, as well as our various biggest
strenghts. When you find yourself engaging in the
thing that you’re fantastic at, you feel much
more in touch with your own self. While you are engaging in something that might be
hard, quite often you enjoy it as it is an effort. I have noted that there
are lots of people who find themselves free to discover their particular skills, though you can see many people whose life problems have made that extremely hard.
Almost all people simultaneously seldom recognize that kids massage therapy often helps young boys and girls whose family members happen to be afflicted with adversity.
Alleviating anxiety in the small children causes lowered worry for the parents or guardians, who are able to in that case live their own day-to-day lives in a bit more contented manner,
maybe taking more favorable care of their selves additionally.
I actually love your featuring this info for folks wanting to
learn more on matters such as this. Your weblog was well crafted and very
well investigated, that is certainly very much liked.
I actually am definitely searching for different weblogs to
consider and look through regularly. https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/141549118?shelf=therapeutic-massage

I have a job as an Event Massage Advisor. I often ponder the
thing that got people started operating a blog. Eventually, a blog writer has something substantive to
talk about, irrespective of whether crazy, unusual, educative,
or in any other case thrilling to others. I think a lot of blog writers strive to
help other people. Of course, right now there are definitely those people driven to the
style of reflection given that it could be highly profitable and turn directly into a fully committed gig.
I take a look at a great deal more blogs and forums in a month compared to everyone in my
town, I can promise you. I imagine that’s all far too fuzzy, in reality.
Each and every writer starts off posting for a diverse, unique justification. In my work, individuals organise a Massage Event just for both equally common (birthday bash, company celebration, etc.) considerations, and also particular reasons like
a Spiritual aim.
Precisely why do several writers keep going, while other folks lose?
It’s actual enthusiasm! A passion for authoring, a passion for coaching or helping to make all of us bust a gut or whatever.
An eagerness for storytelling for quite a few, I am
sure. Life really does have meaning, however we have to labor at appreciation of it.
I believe that blogging and site-building can certainly perhaps be a type of Self-Discovery vocation aiding unseen masses of men and women. Obviously,
there are blogs produced by Sears and Gimbles (opted for defunct outlet stores intentionally!
hehe) but I mean real blogs and forums. Individual weblogs.
