Ok, but if we’re talking about basic boxed pasta, I’ve found GF Barilla to be just fine. Also, Walmart is terrible, but they are actually really solid for GF choices, particularly bread and all-purpose flour.

She’s off of her phone more, doing more chores, and getting outside. Oh, and she’s also caught up on all of her schoolwork and no longer paralyzed with overwhelm and anxiety. My only regret is waiting so long to get a dx because she was doing “ok” for so long, until she wasn’t.

My kiddos had their first (kid #2) and last (kid #1) HS homecomings, and I had four bonus HS seniors sleepover at our home afterwards and I got to make them a big breakfast and catch up on the gossip. It was so much fun.
