Action For Healthy Kids Share Your Breakfast with Kellogg’s

by 2 Comments

You might have missed the Share Your Breakfast twitter party on Tuesday morning with @MomBloggersClub, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late for you to help make a difference in someone else’s morning. Kellogg’s has partnered with Action for Healthy Kids because they want to make a difference helping children who go to school on an empty stomach. 

Can you believe that nearly 1 in 4 kids in America struggle with hunger? It’s not that surprising with the rise in the cost of gas and that groceries keep going up in cost. The easiest meal to skip is breakfast, but facts show it’s very important to have a well balanced breakfast to start off your day. The Kellogg’s Company believes in this and that the power of breakfast can help families make the most out of each day.

To Help, Kellogg’s hopes to share 1 million breakfasts in the 2011-2012 school year.

How Can You Help?

Share Your Breakfast! Now through July, Kellogg’s is asking people to take a picture of their breakfast and share it at ShareYourBreakfast.com. By just uploading one photo to www.shareyourbreakfast.com or by texting the word SHARE with a photo or a description of your breakfast to 21534 one breakfast will be shared.

Every morning, Zoe loves to have oatmeal, a banana, vitamin and a glass of milk. Well, daddy made these wonderful Orange Cinnamon Rolls one morning and we all thought she would be happy for a change. Nope, this girl didn’t like the orange cinnamon rolls and had to have her bowl of oatmeal, a banana and glass of milk. I just had to share that about Zoe, realistically, I feel very fortunate that we are able to put food on the table and give our children anything at all, let alone let them have a choice in what they have for breakfast. So, I’m going to upload this photo of our Saturday morning breakfast with dad, to help donate one breakfast to a family in need!

What does your family like to have for breakfast?

Kellogg’s Fruit Loops with Fiber Pass the Kid Test

by 10 Comments

 

Statistics show that an average of 9 out of 10 kids lack enough fiber in their diets? Which explains why every where you look food says “now with fiber”.  I had no idea it was that high, probably means I’m not getting enough fiber too. Kellogg’s knows how tough of a time we have finding ways to increase our child’s intake of anything healthy, and they came up with a great solution by adding a boost of fiber to some of their most popular kids’ cereals.

 

 
 

 

Yes, Kellogg’s did send me cereal to try, but we did purchase some just a week before the review was sent to us. I bought a huge box that we are still working on and we are enjoying them. My husband eats them for breakfast on Saturdays with the kids. We feel that eating meals together as a family is very important.

There are no changed other than the addition of Fiber. I check calories, sugar, vitamins, the cereal is still fortified with all of the nutrition you are looking for when caring for your family. They just added fiber and that is needed for healthy digestion.

I do want to say that my husband enjoys them. Which is funny because I was expecting  him to say these are disgusting and taste like cardboard. Because that is exactly what he thinks of Kellogg’s Fiber Pop Tarts. Kellogg’s you need to work on your pop tarts recipe with fiber.

MSN Homeroom and Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats

by 1 Comment

Unrelated to this post but really cool information I just learned on my recent venture to California. Renee from Cutie Booty Cakes is on the MSN Homeroom panel of moms, well I don’t see her on the list of moms right now, but she did work on the project at some point. I know this because she spoke to me about the program. That’s my little tidbit I just learned but here is what I’m supposed to tell you about from Kellogg’s and MSN.

“Education comes to mind as one of the most important yet daunting aspects of raising children. Navigating through a school system and helping a child succeed present tough issues and situations in which we all seek advice and opinions. And, as Moms and Mom Bloggers, we often rely on our amazing communities and network of friends online and off for household questions and parenting tips.”

msnhomeroom I do find that I have so many questions when it comes to what and how to do best by my two children. I’m sure that there are a lot of people out there that look at my blog and think that I must ignore my children but it’s not true. They come first in everything that I do. We are on a trip right now and making sure they are happy/comfortable without giving them everything they want has been key. I often look to other moms for ideas and questions.

wheatie Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats sponsored the development of the MSN Mom’s Homeroom site where Moms can connect online to find ideas and articles on topics such as reading, attentiveness, learning, and memory. Memory is key with Kellogg’s Mini-Wheats, you’ve seen the commercial right? I love the little wheatie. The site features four Moms from diverse backgrounds: a teacher, a psychiatrist, a former marketing coordinator, and an obstetrician/gynecologist. The Moms participate in online discussions and post unscripted videos of their views on helping kids succeed academically. The site includes great resources such as:

Scholastic and Encarta articles, tools, and activities

Tips on reading comprehension

Ways to work with your child’s sports coach

Articles on the meaning and importance of community service

Memory tricks to help kids in school

These moms are going to be the experts we can go to to learn find information we need for school advice and many other topics related to helping your children in school. There is an article there about how well can you spell. It’s actually a quiz. I can’t spell at all. I mean, I rely on my spell checker a great deal. Looking at the spelling quiz just made me realize just how bad I am.
