Hooray, it’s Friday! Although this was a short work week for me (my office was closed on Monday in observance of the holiday), I feel like I packed in a lot of things.

When my daughter was about 2 ½, we had her tested for allergies. I was concerned because her eczema never seemed to go away, no matter what type of lotion we used.
