Marie Hardy and her daughter Ella enjoy the nice weather in Leesburg. In her spare time, Hardy blogs about food allergies on Allergy Life in Loudoun.

At four months, Ella Hardy was diagnosed with severe allergies to milk, eggs and soy. Today, the three year-old must stay away from peanuts, tree nuts and garlic as well to avoid an anaphylactic allergic reaction.
