Whole Grain First cereal winner!

Thanks to everyone who entered my cereal giveaway -- I apologize for being late announcing the winner. It seems like every week I keep falling behind, despite my best efforts to catch up! No matter. I'm getting it together and today I used random.org to choose the winner of the 5 boxes of cereal and it is . . .




Jen at GoddessLibrarian!



Congratulations, Jen!

Now, full disclosure here: I happen to know Jen in real life. In fact, we're friends! For real! But, honestly, her comment number came up on random.org -- I'm legit, folks. Really. So, yay, for Jen!

Those of you who didn't win: I have ANOTHER cereal giveaway coming up next week! Woo hoo!

In the meantime, if you all have some free time and feel like voting for me in the Fitness Magazine Fitterati awards HERE, I'd be grateful. A wonderful running pal nominated me so the least I can do is put up a good showing, right? Right. Thanks to those of you who choose to vote!

Whole Grain First cereal giveaway!

Ah, cereal. I've written about it before and I'll write about it again. We just eat that much of it around here. 


Since we eat so much, I try my hardest to make sure I'm filling the pantry with healthy options. The kids eat a wide variety of cereal, fortunately, ranging from oatmeal to organic flax flakes to (gulp) some options that are probably a bit too sugary. 


Like I said, though, I try to keep the available options as healthy as possible, while still being appealing to the little ones. It just doesn't make sense for me to buy cereals that are good for my kids but that they won't eat!


Some of the cereals that we enjoy almost daily include the General Mills cereals that boast "more whole grains than any other ingredient."

The kids chow down on Cheerios and, yeah, they looooove Cinnamon Toast Crunch. For us, cereal isn't just a breakfast food. We take it with us as a snack when we're out and about. So, I like that the cereals all have whole grains. I was sent 5 boxes of the cereal to try out and review and, of course, the kids loved them all. Well, my husband ate the Total -- the kids weren't all that into it. But, that's OK. They enjoyed the rest!   


Here's some information about whole grains in cereal:

Progresso "Souper You" winner

Egads! I am sooooooo late getting this winner posted. It's been one thing after another around here and, honestly, I forgot to post. Yikes! Sorry, folks.

Anyway, I have a winner, picked using random.org. That winner is . . .


Cindy at Run with Me!


Congratulations, Cindy!

I have more giveaways coming up this week, so please check back. I promise to be more on-time with these :-).

Progresso "Souper You" giveaway!

I'm a huge fan of The Biggest Loser (especially, Bob!) so the idea of winning two tickets to the finale of this season's show has a lot of appeal. 

But, wait. I'm getting ahead of myself, huh? What does the Biggest Loser have to do with a Progresso soup giveaway? Well, Progresso soup is running a Souper You contest where three winners will get a trip for two to Los Angeles, a head-to-toe makeover, a guided shopping spree with a $1,000 gift card, $1,000 spending money and two tickets to the live finale of the Biggest Loser!

Cool right?


Yeah, cool.


So, in support of this contest, Progresso has invited me (along with many other bloggers!) to try out Progresso soups and spread the word about the contest. I got a prize pack like this to try out:

My family and I enjoyed trying out the Progresso soups, especially the Light Chicken Noodle and the Chicken and Rice. Winter is the perfect time for soup and with a little grilled cheese on the side, it makes an easy, quick dinner. Anything that is easy and quick is always a bonus in this house!


You can learn more about Progresso soups HERE. 


OK, so here's what I have for you.
