This post pains me to my very core. For you see I am an emotional eater! I eat to soothe, I eat because I am elated, I eat because I am bored...you name the emotion and I eat because of it! So the below item tore me to pieces when I chose not to eat it. But to make that choice I had to dispose of it completely as to not salvage any of it and ingest it later! Down the drain it went.

This is my cotton candy blizzard that my husband brought home. It too, was part of a birthday surprise. Unfortunately, it was not a welcomed surprise by me. I love the thought of eating it...but not so much the calorie count and feeling I get when indulging. SOOO MUCH SUGAR and that just does not sit well with me. Don't get me wrong..once in a while I indulge in these things..but for now...for me right now it's not a good idea. So I washed it down the drain! PAINFUL....VERY PAINFUL... so until a later date! Goodbye cotton candy blizzard.

Alicia is wife, mother, and creator of Baby Elephant Ears. Baby Elephant Ears was created out of parental concern, not financial desire. In 2005, when their second child was an infant, he cried all the time and just couldn't seem to get comfortable.

After seeking advice and suggestion from the medical community and alternative medicine, they eventually ended up in the chiropractors office where their baby was successfully treated for a subluxation, discomfort most likely the result of the strain during labor, which was now being exacerbated by the normal lack of infant neck strength. Only proper neck, head, and back alignment would offer him relief. When they couldn't find a product to give their baby the necessary support, Alicia took matters into her own hands and crafted her own infant support pillow. The first Baby Elephant Ears was born!
