Giveaway - 2 Box Cheerios Packs

New 2 box Cheerios contains two individual boxes, making them easier to store and easier to pour!

Also, by reducing the amount of air in each bag, these enhanced containers fit 10% more cereal than before and use less packaging.

While each box contains more cereal, packaging material has been reduced by over 200,000 lbs, saving 1,000 trees and taking 130 Cheerios trucks of the road, decreasing CO2 emissions.

New and improved 2 box Cheerios are now available on the shelves of Costco, Sam’s Club and BJ’s nationwide.

Check it out for yourselves!


We received two of these new 2 box Cheerios from General Mills. Talk about a lot of cereal!

There's a couple packages to giveaway as well!

Soccer! Yes, again...

This is Kelton's 4th season playing soccer. So that means, this is my 4th blog post about Kelton playing soccer. Plan on many more cause this boy is on fire! :-)

It has been so much fun watching him (and the other kids) grow in their skills each season. It's no longer just a herd of kids kicking each other, it actually resembles a soccer game!

Most games, he scores at least one goal and sometimes more! I am crazy proud and really look forward to watching him play, especially since he enjoys it so much. He leaves it all on the field too because he is completely pooped after each game.

He's going to attend soccer camp this summer and then play again this fall. I'm excited to watch him continue to improve.

Beauty Muffins - gluten free!

Searching for a way to add some chia seeds to my cooking, I came across a muffin recipe. I was pleased to discover even our favorite babysitter found them yummy! She's increasingly weirded out by my flagrant use of things like black beans in brownies and avocados in smoothies, so when she immediately ate two muffins, I knew this recipe was a keeper!

Flax and chia seeds are a great source of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), an omega-3 essential fatty acid which is good for heart health and also promotes healthy skin, hair and nails. That tidbit of info is how these tasty treats became known at Beauty Muffins.


With very little oil and light on the sugar also, I don't mind when Konny eats 3 of them for breakfast in the morning. I think this is definitely a baked good we'll almost always have on hand since I simply cannot resist the sweetness of his little face when he looks at me after waking up and says...."muffwin, pwease, mommy?"
