A Fact You Might Not Know About Drew Brees

Monday, February 8th, 2010

The Saints won the Super Bowl! And while I don’t know too much about Super Bowl winning, MVP Drew Brees, I know he has food allergies. According to Sports Illustrated, his allergies include : Dairy, Wheat, Gluten, Eggs and Nuts.  Wow! It may be challenging to keep a three year old with food allergies healthy, being an athlete with food allergies is a whole different story.  I would love to know what Drew Brees eats everyday, how he avoids the foods he is allergic to, and what his favorite substitutes are.

Congratulations to the Saints and Drew Brees!!

I.M. Healthy SoyNut Butter and Preschool

Friday, February 5th, 2010

As I have mentioned before, Little J loves SoyNut Butter sandwiches. So I have sent him to school with them frequently.  One of Little J’s teachers mentioned the other day that some of the parents have been looking for new peanut free alternatives to send their children to school with now that the classrooms are peanut free.

So yesterday I emailed The SoyNut Butter company to see if they could send some samples to me so that I could share them with Little J’s classes.  There are about 30 children between the two classes, so I wasn’t sure what they would say. To my surprise, I opened my email this morning to find a response. I am so excited to report that they are sending samples!!

Stay tuned for more of this story. I will let yo all know when I receive the samples…..and what happens when they go to preschool!
