1. Silver lining of having a child with food allergies?

The silver lining for me is that I am able to make a difference in the lives of so many children in my community by creating inclusion in schools, libraries and more. There is no better feeling than seeing a smile on a child’s face that finally feels included and not afraid of food. For my son, it is that he has a level of compassion for others, adults and children included. He is brave and accepts challenges with positivity and grace. 

2. Your go-to favorites for food allergies?

Some of our favorite places to go are Vermont Nut Free Chocolates and The Painted Cookie in Wilton, Connecticut. Our favorite online store is Enjoy Life, they are our lifesavers! 

3. Mothering style in three words

Loving, kind and strong.
