(Learn to knit, run miles etc. LOL) Maybe I should think about our blog and how it fits into my 2010 vision and goals. Thanks for the tip.

But maybe you're onto something now with that reaction to the cookies. The list of potential culprits seems smaller now. Wonder why the initial testing didn't pick it up? Good luck getting the hives under control! Yikes, that allergy vs. prednisone dilemma sounds like a tough one!

That's awful about the prednisone. It's really nasty stuff.... the scary thing is that she might have been allergic to soy all along through that process and wouldn't have known because the prednisone would have kept her body from reacting to it. The epi pen is great advice. We've got one for my son (he's allergic to eggs, peanuts and tree nuts), but of course it's a child's dosage. Thanks for your comment. That’s awful about the prednisone.

IT SUCKS, and it gave her osteoperosis, great for a 17 yr old. When she tapered off the stuff, she developed a sudden allergy to soy... as in she could eat tofu one week, the next she had a dressing with soy in it and her throat almost swelled closed. The next day (we didn't know what had caused it) she had margarine (this is soybean oil based), and her tongue developed huge blisters. This was followed by allergies to grapes, carrots, avocados, peaches, nectarines and strawberries. Joy. For about a year everything had to be soy free, now, she can tolerate small quantities. Some of the fruits still irritate her. When you call the allergist, make sure you request an epi pen... these allergies (or whatever) can catch you by surprise, and an epi pen could be a lifesaver. my daughter was on a prednisone vacation for 6 years for auto-immune disorders.

I agree that there is a line somewhere between building a business/hobby and selling yourself out. And I also know at least one blogger who has stopped adding any interesting content to her site because she's busy jumping on one PR campaign after another. Then again, some people are in it for "fame" and it doesn't seem to matter to them what form that fame comes in. To each their own, but I don't want to be one of those people.

Speaking of whore, I may have accidentally set off a firestorm a while back around the time of the hubbub, I put out this tweet: http://twitter.com/moonfever0/status/3239992404 "I have only one comment on the mommyblogging ethics debate: Don't be a PR whore." Julie Pippert of Using My Words apparently took offense to this statement and wrote a lengthy post on it here: http://theartfulflower.blogspot.com/2009/08/why-playing-whore-card-in-reference-to.html I only skimmed the contents and the comments and elaborated on my tweet in a comment towards the end. Oh the discontent! Christine Koh put it in much more tactful words in her interview with NPR. Great to hear that you are making peace.
