Touchdown!
While millions of you are amped up for the finale of professional football in America, our family is smack in the middle of flag football season. My kids are on different teams, so that means two different practices (one on each side of town) every week, and two games on Saturday. Sometimes four, if there’s been a rain cancellation which requires makeup games. Looking forward, the kids have karate belt testing coming up. And volleyball season. And baseball season. And special events at school every time they turn around (concerts, tests, project presentations, and more). This is our season for Big Days.

Wow! Who needs Super Bowl when all the action is at the Prince household!
Rice Krispies–I can just hear the snap, crackle and pop. And taste them. Thanks for reminding me of what used to be my favorite cereal–and since it’s rice, I can have it on this gluten-free diet I’m on. Right, Kellogg’s???

You can have this on a gluten free diet! It’s just rice! Not wheat flour!
