Lunch Made Easy: Food Allergy Awareness Love #TealTakeover

This week, May 10th-16th, marks Food Allergy Awareness week for 2015. This is something we actively participate in each year. 
There are great ways to get involved within your community to raise awareness, including handing out bracelets, information sheets, reading an allergy-friendly book to your child's class, sharing information on social media, and May 12th is #TealTakeover Day.
Teal is the color of food allergy awareness. By wearing teal today, you can help support your friends and family by raising awareness for food allergies. Little Miss loves sporting her teal and I love making her a sweet lunch to go with it. 

Lunch Made Easy: Food Allergy Awareness Week #TealTakeover

Yesterday began Food Allergy Awareness Week 2014 (May 11th through 17th). We have a BIG giveaway planned this week on KeeleyMcGuire.com, so stay tuned.
Monday is also #TealTakeover Day: Teal is the official color for Food Allergy Awareness and you can show your support today, and every day after, by wearing teal! 
Follow my #TealTakeOver board on Pinterest for tons of ideas on how you can incorporate teal into your life!
I decided to kick off the school week by making Little Miss a Food Allergy Awareness lunch, as well.

First Annual Food Allergy Bloggers Conference #FABlogCon 2013

The food allergy & gluten free community is a special one. 
We all have different stories, different experiences, different allergies... but one thing is constant: We all face challenges with food and advocating our, or our children's, rights each and every day. 
It's a family. An instant embrace. Within five minutes of speaking to a fellow parent or person with food related issues, there's an instant connection. Someone who "gets it", understands, knows what it's like. There's no judging, only educating and sharing. 
These are my peers. My fellow advocates. Fellow bloggers. Together, we can make a difference. And I am forever grateful to Jenny Sprague for having the courage and creativity to bring us together at such an amazing conference.
