The year, 1998.    My daughter is one year's old.    I'm a first time mom of 37 with a bad case of laryngitis on the day of this segment. I was still reeling from having nearly lost my child to a danger I never realized existed until my child walked into the kitchen, pointed to her mouth, her eyes rolled back in her head, she fell to the floor and stopped breathing. This video is about the day (one of them) everything changed.

Great article by Christine Peddle in Allergic Living Magazine  which is always full of amazing information and entirely up-to-date info regarding auto-immune issues and allergies. And this edition has an article featuring someone very dear to my heart:  My eldest daughter, Juliet Larsen, who, in spite of life-threatening food allergies has found the courage to pursue a professional modeling career since the age of 14. NOTE: Juliet Larsen to address Teens at FARE Conference this Sunday, Long Beach, CA.  She will discuss how she felt growing up with this particular food allergy and how she did not let her fears of anaphylaxis stand in the way of following her dreams regarding participating in sports, theater events or even a professional modeling career.   **This Sunday, Long Beach, California at the 2015 annual  F.AR.E. Conference.

When was the last time you were in a room with hundreds of parents and others managing food allergies? Maybe never? You’ll get your chance by attending the  2015 FARE National Food Allergy Conference on   May 16-17   in Long Beach, Calif.  This year marks the first time the national conference will take place on the West Coast!   This unique opportunity gathers individuals and families managing food allergies, caregivers, school staff, healthcare professionals and others to learn about advances in food allergy research and advocacy, best practices and practical skills for living well with food allergies, and much more. Here are just a few of the exciting sessions you can attend: ·           “Support Group for Parents of Newly Diagnosed Children,” led by a registered dietician and mother of a 16-year-old with multiple food allergies ·           “...

Okay, didn't write this myself, however a subject near and dear to my heart.   New state law will require schools to stock EpiPens for students with allergies Orange County schools are gearing up to supply the  epinephrine  auto-injectors used to treat anaphylaxis . BY DEEPA BHARATH  / STAFF WRITER  Published: Dec. 16, 2014 Updated: 7:47 p.m. Juliet Larsen was only 15 months old when she took one bite of peanut butter. In less than two minutes, her heart stopped beating. “We took her to the hospital,” Louise Larsen, her mother, said about that day in 1997. “We almost lost our daughter.” Louise Larsen has been one of the most vocal advocates on social media and through her blog,  parentsofkidswithaseverepeanutallergy.blogspot.com , to make EpiPens mandatory in public schools. The devices are essentially auto-injectors that use epinephrine to quickly treat anaphylaxis, a severe, whole-body allergic reaction to allergens such as f...

We went to the LACMA Kubrick exhibit last month and didn't stop taking pictures so that you wouldn't have to. My blog post is self-explanatory. It tells in pictures all that captured my eye.  The LACMA exhibit, called  STANLEY KUBRICK , is a complete, chronological survey of the director's oeuvre guaranteed to leave all who go entirely gobsmacked. (Did I mention it's  13,000 square feet of film making awesomeness?) The collection of all production and design items (ie: Props, story boards, costumes, set design and all the other completely OCD research for his films) are for my former brilliant and creative students in my 2011 Production and Design students at The Orange County School of the Arts . (Warning: The body of work by Mr. Kubrick is not considered appropriate viewing for youngsters, so I suppose you shouldn't look at these if you are under 18.  Just sayin'.) May you all be inspired to take your creati...
