Cereal may be for kids, but I know I still eat it and love it. We always have cereal in our house to munch on or even for those days when we need a quick breakfast solution. Some of my favorites have always been Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms (I used to always get in trouble for picking out all the marshmallows!) and Cheerios. Today our twins love to snack on Cheerios, I think that if they could eat Cheerios all day long and they’d be happy.

General Mills has decided to bring back the original retro boxes for the five Big G Cereals: Honey Nut Cheerios, Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, and Trix which is pretty awesome. Now, Target will be the only store where you will be able find these special limited edition boxes, from February 14th – March 7th, so be sure to get to your local Target to pick up these cool retro cereal boxes!

Check out these old retro boxes compared to today’s boxes along with some little fun facts.. bring back any memories?

If you’ve never heard of Photo Card Creations they are definitely worth checking out. They offer some more than just Wedding Invitations. They have a great selection of Holiday Cards, Birth Announcements, Party Invitations, Thank You cards and more. Photo Card Creations has given out readers a 15% discount off any order, just use the promo code LINK15 at checkout.

I received a sample pack of photo cards for many different occasions and my first thought was that they had such a wide selection of styles. They offer the more simple cards as well as the modern, more colorful cards and they even have beautiful elegant cards for every occasion. They also offer birth announcements for those parents who have multiples or who are adopting, which is pretty cool because when I was pregnant with my twins, I couldn’t really find a good selection of announcements to announce the birth of our twins. I found a few but I didn’t like the style. The samples I received were beautiful, I love the designs and the quality looks exceptional.

As for cardstock, all of their cards are printed on thick, 100 lb. cardstock and they offer a variety of stock, including Fine Art Cardstock like Watercolor Cards with Hand-torn Edge or Panel Inset Cards, which is hard to find elsewhere. Check out their FAQ section for more info on ordering, paper selection, designs, and more. You can also check their blog for new designs and more!

Luckily, SUBWAY send over a few $25 gift cards… one for me to use to try their new melts and one for a giveaway, which one of you will win! For our taste test my husband and I ordered a Chicken Cordon Bleu sub and a Chicken Marinara sub.

In all honesty, I wasn’t all that impressed with the Chicken Marinara. I’m not a big fan of marinara sauce and I really don’t like it on my sandwiches but my husband loved that particular sub. Now, the Chicken Cordon Bleu on the other hand was delicious in my opinion. I could easily make it my new favorite SUBWAY sandwich.

After having the twins, my 2010 New Years resolution is to lose that baby weight. To do that, I will be eating more SUBWAY instead of other greasy fast food. I also have little time to work out so I plan to make to make more time for that and I got a Wii and Wii Fit (finally!) for Christmas so that should help.

This giveaway has ended.

This six-book series about Meno, a nostalgically modern space-elf and his out-of-this-world adventures, by award winning author/illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi and his wife Angela, will have kids and parents excited for each and every adventure.  Each story is told with bright illustrations in nonsensical language, as if it were translated from Meno’s Alien language into English. As childlike as

they are sweet, these stories find humor in the simplest places, and are a delight to readers both young and old.

In book one, Big Fun!, tots and their lucky parents join Meno and his best friend Yamagoo, and find out what Meno thinks is the biggest fun of all!

In Meno’s second adventure, Wet Friend!, Meno and Yamagoo decide they want a “friend trio” and, thanks to their wish-granting friend Wishi, get some out-of-the-ordinary choices along the way.

Award-winning author and illustrator, Tony DiTerlizzi, has been creating books with Simon &  Schuster for over a decade. From his fanciful picture books like, Jimmy Zangwow’s Out-of-this-World Moon Pie Adventure, G is for One Gzonk! and The Spider & The Fly (2003 Caldecott Honor), to young chapter books like the New York Times best-seller, Kenny and The Dragon, Tony always

imbues his stories with a rich imagination. His middle-grade series, The Spiderwick Chronicles (co-created with Holly Black), has sold millions of copies and has been adapted into a feature film. Tony grew up in South Florida, and lives in Amherst, Massachusetts with his wife, Angela, and their daughter. Visit Tony at www.diterlizzi.com.

Angela DiTerlizzi is an up-and-coming author within Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing. In addition, to the Adventure of Meno series, Angela’s picture book Say What? comes out from Beach Lane Books in Spring 2011. She lives with Tony and their daughter in Amherst, MA.

To get just a taste of the series that Publisher’s Weekly calls “A preschool epic so polished that it looks untouched by human hands” and PixieStix.com describes as “the .clean layout, punchy full bleed art, and bouncy text add up to a high-style package that will be equally at home on a children’s bookshelf or a pop-culture lover’s coffee table” please visit www.planetmeno.com

Be sure to also download and print a copy of the 21 page Planet Meno coloring book that kiddos will love!

Here are a few of the changes Crystal Light has made recently:

The new website Delicious Change features the Water Way Challenge where visitors can pledge to drink more water daily, as well as the Water Wisdom Assessment, a quiz to help assess if you’re getting enough water each day.

In order to help make the planet a little greener Crystal Light has reduced its packaging and now uses 250 tons less packaging for a greener planet.

You may know that Crystal Light comes in over 30 sugar-free flavors, but are you familiar with their new Skin Essentials drink mixes which help nourish the skin with lutein and zeaxanthin from a natural plant extract, in addition to vitamins A, C and E? Pretty cool huh?!

Anyways, BabyBjorn was kind enough to send us over an Organic Active Carrier to check out and review, as well as offer our wonderful readers a very nifty giveaway, lots of prizes to giveaway!

I personally have never tried a BabyBjorn carrier.. I’ve heard only good things about them and we did a review of the Baby Bjorn Plate And Spoon Set back in February.. but never a carrier or the travel crib, so I was excited to check these out and see how well we liked them.

The Review:

Well our review for the carrier didn’t go so well, not because of the carrier itself, but because my daughter is walking and doesn’t believe she has time for anything else other than running around, independently. She had an absolute fit being in the carrier.. my son on the other hand seemed to enjoyed it. He’d rather be carried than have to walk most of the time anyway.

The carrier fit both children very well and was very sturdy.. this was tested while my daughter threw her over-the-top fit because she wasn’t on her feet. Our son seemed to be extremely comfortable in the carrier.. my husband just kept rubbing my sons back and walked around with him.. C almost fell asleep! Hubby and I both thought the carrier wore comfortably.

The fabric is made from organically grown cotton and is certified in accordance with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1 for baby. The baby carrier provides proper support for the small child’s back and head, and ensures that the child’s legs and arms are in a physiologically correct position. When the child is older, the head support can be folded down so that the child can be carried facing forward, allowing him to look around. In our FAQ section you can read what medical experts have to say about BABYBJÖRN Baby Carriers. From newborn (at least 3.5 kgs/8 lbs and 53 cms/21 ins) up to 12 kgs/26 lbs. Machine-wash warm. Wash separately. Use a gentle, bleach-free detergent.

This giveaway has ended. Winners are being selected.
