One of the wonderful things about raising kids is that I’m
often enlightened as much as they are – sometimes more than they are (especially since we started this journey).
Fed up with ongoing illness and dissatisfied with the experts’ opinions, I started my own research for answers. My desire for an exact diagnosis and treatment turned into a journey of discovery and the start of a new way of life, not just for me, but for my family too.

Whether you’re reading this because you’re gluten intolerant, suffer from PVFS or CFS, are starting to grow your own veggies, embracing natural and/or alternative remedies, or just want to enjoy the journey with us, please remember I’m not a medical expert, nor am I here to debate global warming. Being diagnosed with a life-changing illness, looking for answers or changing the way one lives can all be overwhelming events, so I hope that by sharing the triumphs and tragedies, you too will benefit in some way from our journey.
I hope you enjoy the journey and if you leave this blog having learnt only one new recipe or started to think about finding your star, then this blog’s purpose has been served.
My two favourite sayings:
Pondering the choices we make at the crossroads is like revision in the school of life. Regretting the mistakes or taking for granted the successes means we have learnt nought.
An attentive student will gain wisdom from the mistakes and joy from the successes. Cartillyer – 2008
'Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.' Mohandas Gandhi

Testing My Gluten Tolerance
Elimination dieting to see if a particular food or food
group is upsetting your body is simple. It’s not conclusive, but it can set you
and your doctor on the right path to a correct diagnosis.

The Definition of Jewels
Ever since Miss Flora decided that Tomboy’s middle name
(Rose) was prettier than hers, she adopted it as her own. After many futile
attempts to get her to accept and like her own middle name (Jade), I decided to
show her how beautiful Jade can be.

One Big Switch or One Big Con?
As a mother of five children in a family with one breadwinner,
I am a huge fan of people banding together to get a better deal. I’ve enjoyed
the benefits of group buying through organisations like Scoopon, so I thought
it was fantastic when I saw that thousands of people were getting cheaper gas
and electricity prices by banding together as part of One Big Switch.
