Samster Hiatus

This was samster last night in the ER...
We're in Florida for the week and she seems to have developed some sort of upper respiratory issue. We had to head back to Tampa the morning of our Disney trip, thank goodness she didn't know where she almost was, or was too sick to care. So, I think I need to take some time, just a week or two, to get my little family back on track without the self induced pressure of knowing that I've left the blog unattended for too long. I'm hoping that if I put it out there now then I won't feel too guilty when the days go by with no posts. Sorry to those of you who are waiting on guests posts or e-mail responses, I'm afraid they'll have to wait to.
I do have lots of projects and recipes to share, they just need to be tabled for a bit.
Also thanks for the dairy tips re: reflux, I started cutting it out of my diet on Monday and I think it might be helping! That's all for now, love you guys!

Love, Samster Mommy from my iphone

  6. Hey, I've been reading your blog in secret for awhile, so I thought I'd come out of the closet now! I really enjoy reading it, and I hope you know that your writing is relevant and important to all kinds of women.

    Sorry to hear about your little one. :-( My niece has really awful reflux, and my sister cut out dairy, soy, and wheat, which solved the problem.

    Take care.

  7. Oh that poor sweet face! :( Makes me so sad! little princesses should never have to go to the ER especially when they should be at Disney!

    I'm sure I speak for the majority of your loyal readers when I say - take all the time you need - we will be here when you get back!

  14. Poor thing :( I hope she feels better soon. There is nothing worse than a sick kid, especially a sick kid on vacation :(

  15. Oh poor Sam. I hope that she feels better soon. Hopefully the weather is nice there, so when Sam does feel better she can play outside. Tampa is still nice, and there is Busch Gardens, right? (I lived there when I had my oldest daughter)

  16. Welcome to Florida... and all the nasty sickies going around right now. So sorry your little munchkin is sick; and that you had to miss Disney. Praying your sweet girl gets well quickly.

    A blog, no matter how fantastic it is, definitely keeps. You are such a wonderful mommy, and obviously have your priorities straight. I'll definitely stick around waiting on you!! ;)

  17. Oh gosh, she's too sweet snuggling her princess doll. Is that Jasmine? My baby girl's still too young for Disney Princesses, I guess I need to study them!

    I hope she feels better soon!

  18. Poor Sam. Hope she is feeling better soon.
    Also have you tried cutting out coffee. I drank coffee with my first 2 and they both had colic ( I know its not the same, but close) and I didn't drink any with my 3rd... as if by magic no colic.

  19. Precious Sam comes first! I'd be more upset to know you were blogging while having sick ones than to wait a while and know when you come back that your sweet girl is feeling better! Give her lots of cuddles :)
    Love and Blessings

  24. Hope Samster get better really soon!!
    About the reflux of your baby: I had a friend wich her son (he is now 12) had reflux when he was a baby.
    After several exams, the doctors found out that the connection between the esophagus and stomach, the pylorus, was larger than usual.
    The doctors said there was nothing to do but wait until the child was 1 year old, then things would be proportionate and reflux would stop. And so it happened!

  25. Glad you cut out dairy! It worked for us. Give it time and stick w it. So much better than drugs for any poor newbie in this world
