During our fall vacation break we traveled for a homeschool field trip and ended up getting a gluten free goodies bag from Hodgson Mill. We were familiar with them from when they use to be located in another state. So we decided to take a tour of the facility. They carry regular gluten items and also have a dedicated GF facility. I did not attend the tour due to the concern about all the flour in the air, one of the other ladies in our tour group is GF because it makes her feel better (also have a DD that has to be GF/CF) told me that she was glad that I did not go in since she said in the one plant you could taste the flour in your mouth (they were making pancake mix the day we were there.)

Back side of the bag
I have a box of their Gluten Free Seasoned Coating Mix 10oz. (good to coat veggies, onion rings,) or a box of Gluten Free Sweet Yellow Cornbread Mix-12oz. or a Hodgson Mills reusable cloth grocery bag (it's huge, a double size of a paper grocery bag). Winners choice.
I just tried their pancake mix today and it was WONDERFUL!! I've used the cookie mix several times and love it too! The prices on the website even with shipping are cheaper for me than buying at our local Walmart.
I don't get anything from Hodgson Mills for this giveaway, I just have some extra goodies from a gift bag that they gave to each person who took the tour. It was so nice that they gave me one too since I did not tour the plant, I stayed at the front office and chatted with the girls.
Now on to how to enter my giveaway. You must post on my blog and give me a tip to liven up my blog, I'm new at this and not sure what I need to do to make it more flashy :O) You may give me up to 5 tips (one per post) for 5 chances to win. Winner will be announced Friday November 11th.

I would like to see a little update area, with little witty tidbits of your cooking experience or your homeschooling. such as today little johnny said the cutest thing. etc..... I love staying in touch and I know you have a very witty side to you. It would be fun.
ReplyDeleteOh and one more thing, you need to start of photo page of your chickens and your kids, nothing personalizes a website more like photos. If you don't want to do family since its open to the public then at least your chickens.
ReplyDeleteAny tips on setting that up? I love the update area idea!!

As a homeschooling mentor, you are more flexible and possibly more creative than what I see in public school. What lessons do you do to reinforce ideas that are a bit different? Do you find educational videos online or creative crafts or science experiments? I found out about khanacademy.org from you (mr. kahn resides within 10 miles of my home!) and algebra.org from another friend. To help my child prepare for a quiz, I search online for similar quizzes or worksheets posted by teachers, and print. This has been helpful in language arts and social studies for my child lately. I like Hodgson Mill products, but not always easy to find. I love your chicken stories. How are the chickens doing in this cold weather?
ReplyDeletenot sure how yours works but mine you can add a page that you title quick updates or tidbits and then you just do journal entries under that page heading. photos not sure, still working on that one.
ReplyDeletelooking yours over you don't have pages just the one and then blog archives. Maybe how you did about me, was that an added page sort of?
sorry not computer savvy as you can tell from my blog.
I would like to see photos and maybe different background colors. Settings in blogger can cause some really neat effects. Check out the dashboard and start playing around until you find what you like. Remember to undo any changes each time if you don't like it before moving on through the list of options. :-)
