They reside in a corner of my dresser drawer along with baby teeth and a poem my daughter wrote to her stepfather to let him know he was a 'real' father. Misa, I have all the letters to Santa.

My kids are grown past Santa and for Christmas I just want them all home and safe. They're learning to love the holiday for the time together and caring less about the gifts each year. The last few years have been wonderful. Wish you all the same. I’m going to ask Santa for a cure for your son also.

I was a stealth mama in many ways but my kids never did letters to Santa - I had to sneak around for other things. : ) At least we can see where Lola gets her sneakiness from : ) - Which I finally got a chance to read the book after what feels like forever in my tbr pile - Absolutely loved it - what a great sense of humor too. Can't wait for January. Diabetes is already on my prayer list, I'll add Celiac too - we've done so much with medicine in the last decades why not a little more? oh how sweet – sigh- My son is now 22 and will always be my baby- lol.

Here is my gluten-free flour recipe, which I have used successfully in cookies, cornbread, waffles and pancakes. I haven't tried it in cakes or breads yet though. Combine 1 1/2 cups rice flour, 1/2 cup teff flour, 2/3 cup potato starch, 1/3 cup tapioca flour and 1 tsp xanthan gum. If you can't find these ingredients at your local store, you can get them online through Bob's Red Mill. Also online check out the Gluten Free Mall, it carries some great gluten free products. My favorites are those by SCHAR, they are European and their pastas are not grainy like Quinoa or Spelt pasta. And the pre-made pizza shells come out really crunchy when baked.
