Amanda over at Celiac and Allergy Adventures asked me to write a guest post for her blog, and I was honored and excited to take on the task! She asked me to write about my experience with anaphylaxis and how it can take a mental and emotional toll on you. It was therapeutic to write about my…
This past week has been crazy busy so I haven’t had much time for new posts. In fact, I’m pretty sure the next month will be fairly quiet on The Other Courtney. The wedding is just 17 days away and then I’ll be in Hawaii for 10 days, so hopefully I’ll be FAR too busy…
