General Mills Cereal Treat Bars Giveaway

My kids are Lucky Charms fans. They love to eat all the marshmallows and leave the rest for us to eat.

Gee thanks!

They also love to see what color there milk will turn if they leave them in the bowl for a bit. Soggy cereal is not my thing. But hey, they aren't fighting and they are eating breakfast.

I'm happy.

The new Lucky Charms cereal bars are right up there ally! They have just plenty of marshmallows to make them happy and they get to open it themselves! At just 100 calories per serving, they are nice little snack or treat to add to their lunches.

And to mine.

Besides Lucky Charms, another popular breakfast cereal has been made into a cereal bar…Golden Grahams! I love Golden Grahams. Golden Grahams was the closest thing to a sugar cereal I was allowed when I was a kid. Now, as a cereal bar, it’s like eating a yummy s’more but without all the mess! The Golden Graham cereal bars are only 130 calories! Another yummy snack that won’t break the calorie bank!

Another great thing about the cereal bars is the fact that there are TWO Box Tops for Education on EACH box! And we collect those all the time.

Organized Chaos

I always thought that homeschool moms had it together. They were this rare group of moms that could clean house have genius kids that are well behaved, put on fabulous parties, and still look like they walked out of a magazine. Their days were calm but fun.

What reality am I living in?

Seriously?!?

This year I am one of those home-school moms, but I am so far from being together. It’s sad really. I have one child that is home schooled, one in public school and one in pre-school.

The house is a disaster; the laundry is piled so high you need an oxygen mask to get to the top; dinner is almost never figured out till the last minute and usually consists of frozen meals. I look like I did as a first time mom with no make up, clothes that are rumpled with hair that may or may not be clean.

I have one child wanted me to help her every five minutes with school, one that wants me to play Legos, and a list of to do’s a mile long, the dog that has to pee, invoices to write, clients to email, phone calls to do, appointments to reschedule. Oh, and let’s not forget Youth Group, 4-H, and soon to be Cub Scouts.

Wednesday, I was feeling just a tad overwhelmed. In fact, I had to have my lock my self in the bathroom and cry session. I was being pulled in every direction and I didn’t know how to fix it.

It’s amazing how God knows exactly how I’m feeling. A few minutes after my mini meltdown, I came across a link to an article that my friend, Cindy Dyer wrote called “Scheduling, or the Lack Thereof”. Like Cindy, I forgot how calm and together I felt when I had a schedule.

Last year I had one just for cleaning the house because at the time that’s where I felt like chaos. But once I started with my schedule, I was calmer the night before company came, I could actually invite people in when they stopped by unannounced and not wonder what they think of me because my house is like a disaster zone.

As soon as I read Cindy’s post, I pulled up Word, and promptly made my schedule. Yesterday was a better day. The house was as clean as it was going to get with three kids, bills were paid, I had make up on, and I even showered!

My advice to you is don’t make it a contest to see if you do everything on your schedule. That will only make you feel worse. It’s ok that you didn’t get the floor mopped that day but pat yourself on the back for the things you did accomplish.

Your house, your kids, your life doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s never going to happen. Just go with the flow with a little help from a schedule.

Keep your Family Connected with Moby

Last week we spent 10 days away. We need to get away from the house and just do something fun. So we took the kids to Disney World. Before we left we made sure that we downloaded all the apps we needed for the trip. One of my personal favorites turned out to be the Moby by Contigo App. This app helps keep families connected for free.

Available for the iPhone, iPad and Blackberry, Moby is a location sharing service that is private. Rather than having my entire network of friends in social media know where my children are. There are times I don’t want to broadcast their whereabouts over the internet.

Find out where the hubs is before you ask him to pick up that one thing you forgot to get from the store that is for dinner. Saves him having to back track.

Ask a friend privately to pick up your child from school without the whole world knowing.

Track down your teen at the mall.

Moby is completely private and only you can enable who is aware of your profile and your location and for how long. If a friend or family member doesn’t have the Moby app just yet, you can send them an email or text with your location. Fully customizable, the Moby App keeps you connected with who you want and how you want.

Here’s some ways Mr. Right and I used the Moby App on our iPhones:

We kept in touch at Disney World. Instead of making a phone call and interrupting an attraction, we checked in and left a message. It worked perfectly. I could pinpoint on the map exactly where he was so my daughter and son and I could find him when we separated to ride different rides.

With my daughter being gone a lot this summer we have been able to keep in touch and know where she is (provided her phone is charged).

There are days that I run errands all day long. My husband can see where I am and If I’m near a store or the post office so I can pick up something for work or check the mail. Saves us time and gas.

This video shows you how to use the Moby App:

I know that I’ll use this app when I attend Regionals so that I can find my friends while we are there with thousands of other attendees. I have a niece that has medical issues this app would be perfect for my brother and his wife to keep us up to date when they need help or to keep in constant contact with each other about their daughters condition.

Learn more about the Moby App and pre-register for the Android version coming out soon.

”I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Moby and received a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate."

Toadstooled!!!

Today is such a nasty hot day that staying indoors seemed like an awesome idea. But one must venture outside to get the mail. . .

And so I did.

I'm not very observant when it's hot and sticky. It seems that is all one can think about when they are blasted with a sauna while walking outside.

As I approached the house hoping to escape the heat I noticed some yellow and blue colors in my flower bed that weren't there yesterday. I know I didn't put them there.

This is what I found.

Just sitting there as pretty as you please in this awful heat. Attached to these delightful shrooms was a note that read . . .

We've been toadstooled!!!

It certainly made my day!
