More Yummy Food...

I think I'm still a kid at heart when it comes to some foods, especially Pop Tarts. They remind me of when I was a kid, my Mom would buy them and I would pop them in the toaster before going to school or I would grab them as I was running out the door to catch the bus.

Then I grew up and didn't buy them anymore. Until I had Hannah.

Hannah and I would be grocery shopping and she would see them in the cereal aisle and ask for them. I decided to give them a try one day and bought them, knowing that as a kid I loved Pop Tarts. Sometimes she'd even ask for them for dinner, and I would give them to her because getting her to eat at times was just a struggle. I knew she'd eat Pop Tarts, so why not?

My only problem with regular Pop Tarts was that they were high in sugar, and I always thought how nice it would be to have an option that was more healthy. Hannah eventually stopped eating Pop Tarts as often, and so I stopped buying them.

Recently I've re-introduced Hannah to Pop Tarts and that's because I was lucky enough to try them out with an offer from M0m Central. I was worried that they would not be as tasty, or that Hannah would take one look at them and decide they weren't for her (they aren't covered completely covered with icing anymore, it's drizzled on instead), but that didn't seem to bother her on bit. She wanted one as soon as I pulled them out of the package. And she sat and ate the whole thing! I guess I have found another great product that my child will eat, and as a bonus it's healthy for her.

Check for them the next time you are cruising the cereal aisle at your grocery store. The new Kellogg's® Whole Grain Pop-Tarts® in Strawberry are very good, taste pretty much like the regular Pop Tarts and are even good for the kid still in me. Because you know I had to try them for myself.

Thanks again Mom Central!

Hungry? In a Hurry??

"MORNING STRESS!" I know there are some mornings that I have to get up and get going when I don't take the time to give Hannah or myself a nutritious breakfast. It is almost impossible.

Do you ever wish that someone would come up with something that would help make your manic mornings a little easier? I know I do.

That's why I'm helping out Mom Central and introducing you to Breakfast BREAKS.
Each convenient package of Breakfast BREAKS contains a balanced breakfast for kids including cereal (Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Lucky Charms), that can be enjoyed with or without milk, Minute Maid® 100% fruit juice, and a healthy snack. I wish I would have found these sooner because they have saved me a few times when I've been in a pinch for breakfast ideas. Hannah loves them! And quite frankly, so do I!
And too, they're are great to throw into a backpack to take to school, or for an after school snack, and even perfect for just leaving on your shelf at home. Plus, these handy pre-packed breakfasts even come with a napkin, spoon, and a moist towelette for those days where breakfast is on the go. Absolutely a great idea!
Breakfast BREAKS were originally developed for schools to ensure that the children served were receiving the USDA requirement of at least 25% of the recommended key nutrients they needed each day, with the addition of 8 oz. of low fat milk. After continual requests from busy moms across the U.S. to make Breakfast BREAKS available at local grocery stores, and they did just that! I know I'll be taking advantage of the convenience next time I'm at the grocery store!

Yummy for your Tummy...


I'm helping the ladies over at Mom Central with their Yoplait Kids blog tour in hopes to spread the word about some good tasting yogurt. For me, the key is finding things my child really enjoys, so when I learned that Yoplait Kids has 25% less sugar than the leading kid's yogurt, I was curious. And besides, it's convenient, and a wholesome snack. Isn't everyone looking for good snacks for their kids these days?

These sip-able and spoon-able yogurts provide calcium, vitamins A and D, and Omega-3 DHA (which has been proven to help brain development). They come in kid-friendly flavors like banana, strawberry, peach and vanilla. Hannah likes the creamy taste, but wasn't a big fan of the peach flavor. I love the nutritional benefits and the portability of the yogurt drink.

When Hannah asks for something to drink, she goes right for the Yoplait Kids sip-able's. I've even had to tell her No because she would drink one right after another until they were gone. She likes them that much!

Go visit Yoplait Kids and get your coupon for a FREE sample. And as a sidenote these coupons are not valid in some states, including California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota and Tennessee. The offer is good while coupon supplies last. So get on over there and check it out.

You won't be sorry.

NEMO Get Back Here........

First Day of School!!

Last night was the night finally for Hannah and I to go to see Nemo On Ice. And I have to say it was pretty cool. I took a few pictures (296!) and I'm not to happy with the way they turned out. That's why I took sooooo many; I wanted to make sure that I had at least some that came out half way decent.

So here we go.....

Fish are friends, not food.

T went with us.

Welcome, Brother Sharkbait! This is the "The Ring of Fire"...

Just had to throw this picture in there although it's not a very good picture. When you bought a program or a bag of cotton candy you got this hat. Oh and see those two other people in the picture (to the right)?? They went with us as well.

This little clownfish joined us too!

You so rock, Dude!!! I think this part was my favorite.

You know, I Speak whale!

Father and son reunited at last!!

I Love you Dad! I Love you to Son!!

And then you have Dory. There is just something about Ellen that makes her so funny.

And yes Mickey, Minnie, Goofey and Donald Duck were there too.

All in all the show was very nice and the kids (including mine) enjoyed the show. If anyone gets the chance to go I would recommend that you do. Be prepared to spend some money though.
