With more and more health concerns emerging about gluten-free products, Betty Crocker has answered the demand to offer great choices at affordable prices. Not only are they answering the demand to add a variety of products to their line up of gluten-free, they have partnered with Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF) to further generate awareness for celiac disease.
Celiac disease, a chronic inherited digestive disorder, can cause damage to the small intestine. It is estimated that one in 133 Americans suffer from celiac disease – 3 million adults and children are living undiagnosed with this autoimmune disorder that is managed by following a gluten-free diet.
Gluten is the natural protein found in wheat, barley and rye. It is harmful to persons with celiac disease because when they eat gluten, their immune system is triggered and it begins to attack the small intestine. This results in damage to the villi which make up the lining of the small intestine. Villi are necessary for the absorption of nutrients, and over time the damage to the villi can lead to malnutrition.
Celiac disease is a multi-system, multi-symptom autoimmune disorder that affects adults as well as children. Currently, there is no cure for celiac disease, only the lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet.
To learn more about General Mill's support for celiac disease and all the gluten-free products available, go to GeneralMills.com.
I received from MyBlogSpark a great Simple Joys pack to enjoy with my children. It included some of the great items I played as a child with my sisters. The yo-yo lights up and my two year old grabbed it up and said "my yo-yo" and made every attempt to make it go up and down without luck. I was able to see that I still have it when it comes to yo-yo's!
My six year old loves the classsic frisbee so that was a hit but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to try it out in the yard. It was a pretty color which she also liked.
My six year old never heard of Pick 'em Up Sticks so it was fun teaching her that game as you can see in the picture above, she enjoyed it.
Each snack is made with real fruit and is less than 100 calories. What a great, healthy treat! These make great lunch time snacks or before dinner snacks. One of the snacks, Create a Bug introduces an interesting way to spark kid's attention. They get to put together a bug out of the different parts. I'm not how sure it will go over with the girly-girls (like myself) but I have to predict the boys will LOVE it! They get to play with what looks like bugs, create the bugs using their imagination and finally, they get to eat them! A boy's dream!
I absolutely love the items I receive from MyBlogSpark since I've been fortunate to try out two prize packs that include fun for my children and now it's your turn!
The Giveaway:
Your own prize pack of Betty Crocker Variety Pack of Fruit Roll Ups, Betty Crocker Create a Bug Fruit Snacks, a frisbee, a yo-yo and pick up sticks in a handy, wooden carrying box.

I loved tossing the frisbbe to my beloved Dog April, she was the love of my life: I know she's in heaven- she has more of a right to be there than some humans would.writer61@yahoo.com
we were just on a yo yo kick last summer but remember I loved it as a kid too
I used to yo-yo quite a bit when I was younger.

I would play frisbee with my dog. She would jump high in the air to get it. I miss her.
I loved the yoyo when I was younger and this was years ago but my brother was playing with it out the side window and it broke off and went under our tire and hit the front grill of the truck behind us and the guy followed us till we stopped then yelled like the dickens at my dad and then my dad was angry as heck the whole day..lucky no windshield was broken but you learn quick in situatios like that and angry people
Ahhh, bringing back memories of the laughter and fun playing frisbie in the college quads...hearing my son laugh as he had the "light-up" yo-yo and he learned to do tricks with it and we watched in the dark. Memories of playing pick-up sticks as a child and thinking that dumping them out of the can was as much fun as actually playing...
I used to love playing yo yo even though I was pretty bad at it! My little brother had to give me lessons.
Thank you for the giveaway :)

I loved the intensity of Pick 'em Up Sticks as a kid and still do. I'm happy to see Betty Crocker doing things to help the family. Especially keeping price point down. We're a big market and they are wise to cater to us. We're very loyal!

I love using a yo-yo as a kid! I used to try and do tricks, but they never ended up working right ;) I'd love to try these treats. We have celiac disease in our family, so we have gluten allergies. Thanks!

My family (yes we were weird) used to play Frisbee. If the Frisbee was dropped the person that dropped it had to ride a scooter around the block. We got tons of exercise this way!

Pick up sticks was a favorite childhood game. It was such fun to see if I could get the high point ones without a wiggle or jiggle.
I remember playing pick-up-sticks all over the kitchen table and being very annoyed when we had to stop so Mom could serve dinner. Thanks for this offer.

In elementary school, my teacher had a point system and whoever had the highest points at the end of the week got to stay after on Friday to play Ultimate Frisbee. It was soooo much fun!

I remember my grandmother had a set of plastic pick up sticks at her house. Playing with these and being read stories from an old storybook are some of my favorite childhood memories.

I had a dog growing up that would never get tired from catching a frisbee all day... I even buried the frisbee in his grave when he passed. God, I miss my Bubba :(

We lived on a quiet block and after work on nice days everyone- kids, parents, kids and dogs would play frisbee in the street. It was a blast.

We played frisbee a lot as a kid, but I was never very good at it!
My husband and I played frisbee golf when we first met (13 years ago). I also loved playing with a yo-yo when I was little. I was never any good, though. Thank you
