Gluten-free No-Soy Dairy-free Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Gluten-free No-Soy Dairy-free Dairy Free, Sugar Free Chocolate Mousse Recipe
from the bookofyum.com.
I just made this. It's awesome. I used Spectrum Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (unrefined), Ghiradelli Unsweetened Cocoa, Wholesome Organic Blue Agave Nectar, my own home made Gluten Free Vanilla extract (made from Madagascar Vanilla Beans) & Haas Avocado.

I'm trying 1-2 new allergy free recipes a week. It's fun & I'm discovering new awesome allergy free treats. I've have this recipe printed out for a year. I also am converting many of my printed recipes back to digital. It part of my journey to have less printed papers in my world. I do usually print out a recipe to tweak it or make notes of what I used. Tweak it means what I would do differently if I made it again.

This recipe is a keeper. Colin is the true test. He's still sleeping. It's ok if he doesn't love it; it will not go to waste. :)

Colin is sick again

He seems to get a cold so frequently this year. I wished when his little friends are sick that he's not so in their face. It's funny to watch children; they don't require the same amount of personal space as adults. They interact so closely. A double edge sword; good & not so good.
I was up at least 5 times last night checking on him or giving him medicine. Once I touched him & he was burning up with fever. I gave him medicine. 1 hour later he was wrapped in his comforter. I touched his face & he was cool & clammy. I put a little more cover on him.
I informed hubby to keep a close eye on him today while I'm at work. Hubby likes to stay up
late at night & sleep during the day.

Halloween in Hilton Head 2010

G update

G's cancer is still in remission. Hallelujah! His peripheral neuropathy is worst; he can barely walk. He was fitted for a wheelchair & should be getting it soon.
It took a while for him to call the wheelchair people. I thought he should have done it. There are so many zoo trip, field trips, Disney & other items that he has missed because he couldn't do all of the walking.
I'm happy he made the decision; it will improve our quality of life.

Happy Birthday Colin!

I had no idea how having a child would change my life. I feel so blessed to be your mom. Many mornings I watch Colin sleeping; I think to myself what did I do to deserve such a wonderful gift.

We decide to forgo spending 300.00 on a birthday party. He invited 2 of his friend to go to Dave & Busters. Neither friend was able to make it so it was just me & Colin. G was feeling bad.

I'm grateful for such a happy child. He has blessed my life in ways I could not have imagined.

My favorite breakdancer

Colin has loved break dancing for years. He's had a great teacher & the teacher just opened a Dance Studio with his wife. We were hesitant in enrolling him because the cost of a private studio vs the park system was significant. I felt it was worth it so we are tightening the belt a little more. Hubby & I didn't think it was possible but I wanted him to be taught by Adam.

We went to the studio last night. Colin had no idea he had the same teacher; on the way to

practice he asked who was teaching the class. When I answered Adam, he said sweet. He had the biggest smile on his face.

We got to class I told him Colin may be rusty because he hadn't danced all summer.

At the end of the class I asked was he really rusty. Adam said I have been waiting for this day; he said he is maturing & he really listens. He said if he keeps listening to me; going at the rate he is, he will be one of my best students I've ever had. (Please ignore the bad grammar in my typing)

I was so proud. I can tell he's maturing too. We don't have the same battles with homework. He more easy going. He's always been a very happy child. I hope the year just keeps getting better.

Retreat results

I was so excited to go the the MN retreat this year. I look forward to my little get away from normal life & scrapping with good friends. I always have a wonderful time. This year was no exception. Thanks so much to my awesome friends Betsy & Shell. They share lots of items with me so I don't have to pack so much. Also because they are just super generously awesome women.
I did a lot of scrapping & Layouts. I scrapped about Halloween 2010 in Hilton Head Island, SC.
This LO with the bones in the tree took some time but Colin loved it; so very worth my time.
I tried to just have fun with some of the layouts. This was one of the fun ones.
