So for those of you who read my previous post about the blood sugar mystery, I just wanted to update the post. We never got a solid answer. They determined it was not hypoglycemia, or Diabetes. Their 2 theories they tossed out were adrenal gland problems and early puberty. unfortunately the testing for both take a lot of time. On one hand we have to collect all pee for 24 hours and for the other hand 3 vials of blood to go to the mainland for a 2 week blood study. Due to school and everything else we didn't do the tests yet. But once we started making some better diet choices and keeping her accountable for her behavior and we have seen a significant improvement in it.
We switched to fruit for breakfast instead of a cereal. Then started sending a granola bar to school to be eaten at recess time mid morning. A simple lunch followed by a snack either waiting in the car for her after school or once we got home, then a small dinner. Daddy insisted on desert later in the evening too.
Over all by cutting back on the volume at each snack she has lost a little weight, but mostly she has grown taller. Her focus is better in school and outside of school. Will we do the tests? I don't know but I do know that whatever the cause of the insanity was, life is much better at our house lately.

Aaaaaah summer is upon us!
I'm sorry to have vanished for so long, I'm now up to 3 kiddos an almost 8 year old, almost 3 year old and an almost 1 year old. They have kept me soo busy this year that blogging was the last thing in my mind. Not to mention that since the birth of my little mr, I've been dealing with intense back pain. Bad to the point of needing to see physical therapists, and extra doctors. Throw that in on top of all my other crazy momma life issues and voila recipe for things falling through the cracks.
We are back with a plan for an awesome summer. My oldest will be joining me this summer on the blog. She is desiring to do her own toy review vlog, so we are going to collaborate this summer. I'll review something from my point of view and she'll do it from hers. So that you, our followers can get a well rounded perspective on how annoying/fun a toy really is. Hehehe.
We'll Be reviewing Legos, especially the friends sets and elves, Barbies, Play doh, and we'll be cooking together. It should be a fun summer!
