1. Silver lining of having children with food allergies?

We read food labels, know what’s in our food and appreciate great food. 

2. Your go-to favorites for food allergies?

We never leave home without our Auvi-Q — the compact epinephrine auto-injectors are literally life-savers and they are always with my children.

We just made summer vacation reservations with Virgin Airlines and a Marriott hotel because the quality of their brands and customer service are very consistent. 

3. Mothering style in three words

Loving, practical, mentor.
