First things first, I’m not a food blogger. So why am I posting a recipe? I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 18 years ago, so it’s been 17 years since I’ve had “real” wheat bread. That means that for 17 years, I’ve done without or eaten cardboard that’s bread-ish and crazy-expensive.

In recent months, I’ve become a little obsessed with gluten free sourdough, which we all love fresh out of the oven or toasted and slathered in jam or butter. (My jeans are not appreciating my appreciation though).

For years, we have enjoyed nature-focused science curriculum that essentially required that we spend time out of doors each day. However, this year, we are working on more project and experiment-based science which is totally fine.

As the holiday season approaches, I wanted to share some of our family's favorite gifts that have stood the test of time. These items have provided countless hours of joy and have become staples in our household. I hope these suggestions inspire your gift-giving this year!
