One Stop Peanut Allergy Shopping

Do you like Amazon as much as I do? I honestly don't know how I ever purchased a book or electronics before it came into existence. I refuse to buy anything that Amazon sells without reading a few reviews first.

Since I love this site and am not too mobile due to an injured knee, I tinkered around on Amazon all in the name of PA. The result is "The Peanut Allergy Kid Store." Look over at the left hand column for the link to it.

I hear from so many people that are newly diagnosed that have no idea where to start. When those people land on my blog, I want them to leave feeling much more educated. Obviously I spend a great deal of time researching and writing informative posts. But I'm just a Mom and am only the perspective of one person. I also want to give them the option of finding books and other products that are actually good and will help them in their quest to educate themselves and their children. I also have some great snack and candy options.

I encourage you to check this store out even if you don't need books or other merchandise. I really need your help to make sure this thing is top quality. I spent several hours researching each book or product before I placed it in the store. Despite my best efforts, I can't know personally that each product is worthy of its placement in the store. Look around. Is there a book that is a stinker that I need to take out? Is there a book or product that I missed that Amazon carries that should be in there?

I really appreciate any help you guys can give me to make sure this blog is top notch and leaves visitors feeling like they are armed with great information when they click away. Please leave a comment or send me an e-mail with your opinions. Thanks!

That's great! The only thing I wanted to mention is we have the Allie the Allergic Elephant book-got it off of eBay for a few bucks. It's a cute book, however there is a page that shows pictures of 'safe' foods for peanut allergic people. Although my 6 month old baby got a hold of this page and chewed it before I realized she had it (lol) I can still make out a few things that I would NOT consider safe. There are canned goods, a bowl of veggies, steak, chicken, bowl of fruit, watermelon, and then there are crackers (hmmm, some crackers are may contains). There are jelly beans (these are a no no since the Jelly Belly jelly beans have a peanut butter one-the package gives a warning). There is pizza (another no no, like Pizza Hut and Sir Pizza). So, although I would not call it a stinker, people that don't know anything about pa should know that. Thanks!! Take care! k
