Breakfast & a Giveaway

As a Mom, I always make sure that my kiddos eat something for breakfast.



 I have said it before, and will tell them a million times, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day." My kids know that I am pretty liberal about what they can eat for breakfast. I would rather have them eat a pb & j than have them go to school with a rumbly tumbly.



Of course they have their favorites...muffins, doughnuts, cereal, waffles, pancakes etc.

Due to how fast & easy, and of course  how cheap it is after using coupons, cereal is one of our go to meals. And yes on occasion we have had cereal for dinner also!


Now it is time for a confession: I am rrrrrreally bad about eating breakfast. Mornings are busy. I am locating shoes, making breakfast & lunches, signing reading logs, checking emails...we all know what it is like. So I rarely have the chance to sit down and eat something. Normally my breakfast consists of a diet Dr. Pepper...without actually eating anything until around 10ish. Bad I know.

How cute is that box?!


So when I had the chance to try out a sample of the newest, Honey Bunches of Oats cereal, I was all for it!



I had tried the cereal before, but was interested in trying it with more of the "bunches" which are my favorite part! Well, I have to say...it was totally yummy! I really liked having more "bunches" and the "Just Bunches" I am sure will find their way into my shopping cart!

It was totally yummy, filling and...healthy to boot! With only 6 grams of sugar and 10 grams of whole grains per serving, you can feel great about giving it to your family! I used skim milk and had a yogurt and a banana also!



The folks at Post have given me 3 coupons for a free box of cereal! I will be choosing 3 winners instead of just giving one person 3 coupons. You know share the wealth a bit (:

 1st entry (mandatory): leave me a comment telling me what your favorite breakfast is!
2nd entry: Follow this blog (if you already knew, just say it)
3rd entry: follow MarthaWannabe on facebook
4th entry: like Honey Bunches of Oats on facebook
5th entry: leave a comment on the HBOats facebook page and tell them that I sent you there, using my blog address

That is FIVE ways to get a free box of cereal (: Giveaway ends on May 20th...sometime in the evening!


**Disclosure policy: Post provided me with a free sample of their Honey Bunches of Oats-Honey Roasted so I could review them. However, all opinions are my own!**

I love breakfast, too (maybe it's genetic?), but I don't always remember to eat it either. When I do, though, I love scrambled eggs and a bagel or toast with some yummy bread.

I already follow you via Reader and on Facebook; I like HBO's page; I wrote on their wall; and I think that's all!

My favorite breakfast would be a veggie egg white omelette and a nice fruit salad! Hashbrowns, too, please :)

I love to eat cheerios with bananas, oatmeal with cranberries and bagels with cream cheese. Any of them work great for breakfast!
