10 Ways You Can Help Your Child With Food Allergies

September 22, 2015 / Jen Kehl / 2 Comments

I know it sounds melodramatic – to you maybe, if your kid doesn’t have food allergies. But to me, when my … Continue reading 10 Ways You Can Help Your Child With Food Allergies

You Don’t Have to Cook to Snack Organic

October 7, 2014 / Jen Kehl / 1 Comment

As I sit here munching on my not-oreo Organic Tasty Sandwich Cookies, it occurs to me that many people don't eat organic because it's too much work. Well let me tell you, I'm With You Sister! (or brother, you too!) I remember a time, a long long time ago, when cooking was a wonderful and … Continue reading You Don’t Have to Cook to Snack Organic

I Was Against GMO’s Before it Was Cool

September 25, 2014 / Jen Kehl / 2 Comments

Hey! I have an AWESOME idea! Take that broccoli you were going to feed your kids tonight and soak it in RoundUp- let it sit for 30 days. Now rinse it off, you know, like you would if you were getting ready to cook it and feed it to your child. What? No? You don't … Continue reading I Was Against GMO’s Before it Was Cool

Counting Breaths

September 3, 2014May 5, 2019 / Jen Kehl / 12 Comments

I'm at the end of the bed watching Isaiah. He is covered in towels, laying on towels, sleeping fitfully. I have my timer in my hand and I am counting his breaths. At 5am this morning he woke feeling "yucky" and coughing that ugly barking cough. I rolled over and grabbed his inhaler. At 6am … Continue reading Counting Breaths

Complacency Can Kill or Nut Allergy and Anaphylaxis are Kissing Cousins

April 3, 2014 / Jen Kehl / 12 Comments

If you've read my blog, you know by now, that my motto is "You are your child's only advocate." You may also know, that I have done my best to not create drama around my child by over reacting, and playing the "why me?" card. What I may not have shared, is that after 6 … Continue reading Complacency Can Kill or Nut Allergy and Anaphylaxis are Kissing Cousins

On the outside I’m a hippie freakshow, on the inside…About Jen Kehl

January 23, 2014 / Jen Kehl / 56 Comments

Living Outside the Box You may think I’m a contradiction. I listen to the Grateful Dead, I buy only organic when I can, I vote conservative. I don’t wear makeup, I buy expensive shampoo, I owned a Bugaboo and I buy most of my clothes at Target. I read my bible everyday, old and new … Continue reading On the outside I’m a hippie freakshow, on the inside…About Jen Kehl

Who Are You Calling Special?

October 11, 2013 / Jen Kehl / 31 Comments

So I'm sitting in my bed feeling fairly crabby, and really not interested in writing - although I had every intention of doing so. I am reading people's work, I am considering watching some back episodes on my iPad. Then my son starts hacking. If you know me, then you know my son sleeps with … Continue reading Who Are You Calling Special?

Making the Decision to Possibly Harm Your Child in Order to Help Him

September 28, 2013May 5, 2019 / Jen Kehl / 72 Comments

I woke up this morning with a tightness in my chest, my head throbbing.  I didn't have to guess at the cause, I knew it. All night Isaiah had been tossing and turning, and in those few moments when he was motionless I would put my hand on his chest to make sure he was … Continue reading Making the Decision to Possibly Harm Your Child in Order to Help Him
