General Mills 5 Boxes of Cereal Giveaway 2/6

A new year and a new set of goals if you are like me.  I have set aside some goals for the year and one in particularly started actually last year but because getting healthy is a life long journey, there is nothing wrong with continuing a new year's resolution into the following year as if it's a new resolution.  To date since I started working on getting healthier, I've lost 28 pounds since around June of 2010.  That wasn't easy and it's a complete mind set change along with a need to exercise as I won't tell you that you can't.  Part of my getting healthier was for myself and the rest was for my children.  As parents, we lead by example and I don't want my children doing the same mistakes I made when it comes to our health.  One of the areas I'm working on with myself and them is consuming more whole grains.  Whole grains are reported to be essential to the well being of our body and whether or not that is true, I believe it is so.  I'm happy my girls have chosen General Mills' cereals as their cereal of choice.

Another thing you may not know is that when you look at the ingredients on a product, the first ingredient is the biggest portion of the recipe.  When you shop for General Mills cereal, the white check mark signifies that particular cereal has more whole grain than any other singular ingredient and that sure beats sugar being the first ingredient!  According to Dr. Travis Stork, emergency room physician and host of The Doctors, identifying whole grain products can be difficult.  He stated if you see a product listed with whole grain with oat or wheat following, it means the product contains the most whole grain over any other ingredient.


Dr. Stork provided additional guidelines to help us on our journey to get healthier:

• Start Early! The Dietary Guidelines recommend people get at least 48 grams of whole grain in their daily diets. Get a jump-start on the day’s nutrition by incorporating whole grain into your morning routine. For instance, when choosing cereal make sure whole grain is listed as the first ingredient. One easy choice is cereal with the white check, which have more whole grain than any other single ingredient.
• Make Simple Swaps. Choose whole grain versions of the foods you love. Great options include whole wheat pasta and whole wheat bread or even whole grain crackers. Also, try different types of whole grain. Use brown rice instead of white rice as a side dish at dinner or popcorn, which is a whole grain, for a snack.
• Don’t Judge a Food by Its Cover. The front of food packages provide good nutritional cues, but don’t forget to read the ingredients and check the nutrition label and side labels for additional health information. Cereals with the white check even include the amount of whole grain per serving on packaging.

If you want to have some fun and learn a bit more, General Mills created an online educational game called "Fast Lane for Whole Grain."  You will be taken through a virtual grocery store to find the products with the most whole grain along with an option to enter a sweepstakes to win one of 50 boxes of cereal with the white mark.

The Giveaway:

1. Total
2. Honey Nut Cheerios
3. Lucky Charms
4. Cinnamon Toast Crunch
5. Cheerios

Zeiss' Educational Tools to Help with Vision Health

Vision health is an important part of one's life and is often overlooked until an obvious problem presents itself.  Given January is National Glaucoma Month, it's an ideal time to get those peepers checked!  My eight year old was diagnosed with an optic pit and required glasses almost a year ago.  I had no idea as she never had any complaints but when the headaches started and her school work started to slip, I knew it was time to get her eyes checked.  If you are like me and you didn't really know a lot about vision tests and how to choose the right doctor, you can check out the Zeiss educational tools. 


I did learn that once you reach age 40, you might become one of most adults who suffer from presbyopia which is a result of crystalline lens of the eye losing its flexibility making it difficult to focus up close.  


Do you know the differences between an optometrist, ophthalmologist and an optician?  Sounds confusing doesn't it?  The optometrist performs the eye exams and writes the prescriptions.  They can also diagnose and treat some medical conditions of the eye.  An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who can treat a full range of eye diseases and conditions.  They also perform surgery for cataracts and other eye conditions.  An optician fills the prescription.

Some other common vision problems include:

1. Nearsightedness – condition in which visual images come to a focus in front of the retina, causing blurry distance vision
    
2. Farsightedness – condition in which visual images come to a focus behind the retina making it more difficult for the eyes to focus on near objects
    
3. Astigmatism – condition in which the cornea's curvature is asymmetrical, so light rays are focused at two points rather than one, resulting in blurred vision

d

Make sure you are getting your annual eye exam and check out the resources to help ensure you pick out the right doctor!

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Review

If you are a regular to my blog, you know that I prefer natural products and things that are healthier.  I don't always choose the best choice but when it comes to something that I'm putting on my skin daily, I definitely want something that is not going to be harmful.  I used to use one of the leading brands until I started reading about the potential toxicity of the ingredients that made them effective.  Once my now eight year old, yes, she's only eight, needed deodorant, I didn't want her putting anything harmful on her skin.  This is where Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal comes on the scene.  


Not only is it 100% pure and natural, it's made in the US AND is a woman-owned and family-operated natural products company.  I cannot ask for anything more other than having Johnny Depp delivering it to me!  They don't just stop with deodorant as they also have a full line of personal hygiene products that includes spray mists and roll-ons that provide 24 hours of hypoallergenic protection against body and foot odor.  My younger daughter, not quite ready for deodorant yet, is allergic and sensitive to products.  Knowing that all their products are paraben free, propylene glycol free and contains no aluminum makes it ideal for my entire family.


In case you are wondering how regular deodorants work, they are processed into smaller molecules which allows easier absorption into the blood stream.  Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal is not processed and the molecules are larger to prevent absorption.   If you want to learn more about aluminum and mineral salts and alum, just click on the link.


I was able to review the following three products:  Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal, Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal - Spray Mist and Moiststic Natural Lip Protection.

  

Each product performed as expected and I was able to use even when running.  I did notice that if I ran late in the day, I needed another application of deodorant but that is what I expect with all deodorants.  The smell is pleasant and was not overwhelming.  Out in the dry winter, my lips took a beating so the timing of the Natural Lip Protection couldn't be better.  It went on easy, stayed on and was not filled with obnoxious aromas or a waxy film.  All products performed up to my standards and I definitely recommend each of them.  For me, the fact that they are natural is top notch!

Good Snacks: Oceans Spray Fruit Flavored Snacks Giveaway (4 Winners) - 2/4 (US)

I took on a big healthy living kick starting in 2011.  I started with an interest in 2010 but fully embraced it in 2011.   With getting older and seeing the effects of too much McDonald's on my middle one, I knew it was time.  I stopped those nearly daily after school stops to McDonalds and started with wholesome snacks and regular cooking.  Finding snacks that are good and good for you can be challenging with all the carb laden, calorie enriched foods out there.  I was happy to discover Oceans Spray Fruit Flavored Snacks.  Only 80 calories, gluten free and they contain 100% of daily value of Vitamin C, you can't go wrong.  When I noticed my eight year old was getting a little chubby, I knew it was time to make the change as it's a health issue over a "fat" issue.  


We started eating healthier and getting more exercise through playful exercise.  Whether it's through the pool or playing interactive wii or Xbox games, we are moving!  I have lost 27 pounds in the course of a year.  My girls are fit and healthy and that is the key....healthy!  My girls enjoyed the flavor and this is the first fruit snack that my youngest would actually eat!


Oceans Spray Fruit Flavored Snacks colors are made from all natural sources.  The snacks are made with apple, pear and cranberry concentrate.


You can download a $1.10 coupon here for two boxes of Oceans Spray Fruit Flavored Snacks.  Check them out on Facebook.

Purex Crystals Jockey Sports Bra Giveaway 1/26

Did you make your New Year's resolutions?  If not, that's okay because if you want to get healthy, no time is better than now.  You don't have to wait until the first to do that and if you noticed, I wrote healthy and not lose weight.  It's a mind set that I believe is true to heart and achievable if you approach it as a health aspect over just forsaking the yummy chocolates, indulging carbs and otherwise unhealthy foods.  It's something I embraced last year and lost 26 pounds. It's something where I said enough is enough and have turned it into a learning experience with my children as well.  They now eat better thanks to my efforts.  This is why the opportunity to review Purex Crystals fabric softener and Jockey Sports Bra was PERFECTO!  

If you know anything about sports bras, they are expensive so you want to take care of them.  With Purex Crystals you can do that.  What is also nice is that you just add them into the wash at the beginning along with detergent and in my case, it was Purex Triple Action.  Since you put it in at the beginning, it actually has more time to infuse into the fabric giving you great smelling clothes that are noticeably softer.  You can take the clothes out weeks later and the fragrance is still there.  It's not overpowering either.  It's just a nice friendly reminder that you are wearing clean, fresh clothes.  I tried the Purex Crystals Tropical Splash and love it!

Another reason I like Purex Crystals is that other fabric softeners have a softening oil which prevents moisture wicking fabrics from wicking thus ruining the main purpose of athletic wear like Jockey's sports bras.  The Jockey Tech Terry Performance Sports Bra is ideal for those sweaty workouts.  Made with cool moisture-wicking technology, it keeps you cool and dry.  I had to request an XL due to being rather top heavy and it fit perfectly!  Many other sports bras almost dislocate a shoulder trying to squeeze it on but the Jockey fit like no other.  Stay tuned as there will be a coupon available at Purex-Jockey.


One reader will win a full size bottle of Purex Crystals and a Jockey Sports Bra!

Finally Home to Family $15 Amazon GC Giveaway 1/18

If you are a military family or know one, you know how hard deployments are.  They are really tough on the entire family as I know.  You end up being more like a single parent and have a new life ahead of you as it's up to carry forward alone.  Everyone always hears of the great stories of the reunion post deployment but often times, those "after" times are the hardest.  Learning to cope with one another again, adjusting to no longer being the sole decision maker and everything else that goes along with being alone for a year or more to being back together can plague a family.  I listened to a women's group at a military installation tell what it's like before, during and after deployments and I related to them all because I've been there.  It's hard.


A new app has been introduced to help families facing the reunion and it's below. Finally Home to Family has tips, ideas, stories and more to help bring you back together.  You don't even have to be military to enjoy this app.  It's a great way to learn more about yourself, your spouse and as a couple.  Check it out and let me know what you think!

Broken In

Guest post written by Derick Burks

My brother and sister in-law's condo was burglarized last summer. It was done during the day while most people are at work. They kicked in the back door. They took all their valuable things like laptops, video games, TV, and jewelry. My brother and sister-in-law had some really nice things. I think the hardest thing for my sister in-law was when she came home from work and saw her home ransacked. The thought that someone had been in her living space, in her home, looking through all her belongings and taking them really bothered her. The hardest loss for her was that they took jewelry that had been her great grandmother's. They also took the watch that her husband had given her on their wedding day. It had an inscription on the inside. Thankfully no one was harmed. All of these possessions can be replaced; I can only imagine what could have happened if she had come home for lunch and walked in on the burglars. My sister in-law didn't feel safe staying in her home for several days. She told my brother that she would not stay there until there was a adt home security Mass installed and working. It helped her feel better. It gives her comfort when she comes home from work and when she sleeps at night.

Purex Triple Action Liquid

Have you tried Purex yet?  They have a new detergent called Purex Triple Action Liquid.  I use Purex because it costs less and works just as I would want it to.  It leaves my clothes clean, bright and smelling good.  The new Triple Action liquid's formula contains what you expect of Purex but also has some new additions to help deliver great cleaning and a brightening power as who wants dingy looking clothes?



Purex Triple Action is good for all washers so no more needing to purchase that high priced detergent when you can buy Purex at a lesser cost while delivering the same great, if not better, results.  In February, Prove it to Yourself returns.  You will get to see first hand proof of how Purex works and a new sampling program will start at FreeSamplePurex.com.  

 

I prefer the Free & Clear formulas because I have a child with severe allergies and asthma but have tried all Purex products available due to the cost and effectiveness.  I love Purex products and am a customer.  I like how my clothes come out smelling fresh, looking bright and clean and soft.  It's my product of choice.




*Disclosure:  I received complimentary product as part of the Purex Insiders.  The opinions are of my own.

Purex UltraPacks Liquid Laundry Detergent

Who doesn't like convenience?  We're all busy anymore that anything that can cut a corner is nice.   Not only can convenience save time but it can also save money such as with the Purex UltraPacks Liquid Laundry Detergent.  The new Purex UltraPacks are pre-dosed liquid detergent packs that makes doing that dreadful chore called laundry easier since you just pop it in the wash.  No messy liquids, no spillage and no more measuring too much.  Each Purex UltraPacks contains all the performance from Purex's new Triple Action liquid formula.

What is also great about Purex UltraPacks Liquid Laundry Detergent, is they dissolve quickly and even in cold water which is wonderful as I wash most everything in cold.  I do reserve whites and linens for the extra sanitary hot water but I don't want to pull out my clothes washed in cold water to see detergent left behind which I do not see with the Purex UltraPacks.  They are also good for all washers to include mine which is a high-efficiency (HE).  

I can't say anything I don't like about the UltraPacks.  I love the convenience and since I'm already used to pack formulations with the dishwasher, it was not hard to use.  You just have to remember to have dry hands.  You should place the UltraPack in the washer first to let it dissolve as much as possible before adding the clothes.  If you have a large load or heavily soiled, you might need two.  In the case of my front loader, it's important to place inside the machine and not in the detergent shelf.  They work and they really did make the clothes smell nice and look great!


Beginning mid-February, Purex will be launching Purex UltraPacks Liquid Laundry Detergent.  You will even be able to snag a free sample at freesamplepurex.com!

Online Casinos: Are You a Gambler?

I can honestly admit that I've never been to an online casino and in fact, I've only been to one casino in my life and I didn't fair well.  I don't even play the lottery but I do enter blog giveaways so in a sense, I do gamble but not with money, only my time.  I do know others who gamble and do gamble online.  I can imagine the sites are plentiful and for those that do, having a casino bonus would definitely be inviting.


If you don't know, casino bonuses are free opportunities to win money without having to pay anything yet.  The concept of a no deposit bonus is just as it sounds, you don't have to provide a deposit and you can start trying to win money immediately.  This is a great concept since many think you actually have to pay money to play for the various online casinos.  You can actually cash out if you win on the no deposit bonuses for real money. I learned all of this when I found this blog that provides a listing of casino's that offer bonuses and no deposit bonuses.  The blog, casinobonus2.com, provides daily listings to take advantage of the many offers out there for free.


Not a gambler?  The blog also contains tips and secrets on how to win real money with the free bonuses.  The members area is active and you can find out how others are doing with their bonuses.  I would have to say that if I were a gambler, this is the site I would visit daily to take advantage of FREE!  They are even on Facebook under CasinoBonus2.

Shameless Season 2 - Sundays on Showtime

Shameless is just what it sounds like it's about.  Shameless is starting up on Season 2 with all of Season 1 available on DVD/Blu-Ray.  Through Season 1, we saw the struggles that each of the Gallagher children endure the shameless antics of a father that is drunk all the time.  It must be hard being a child with the only remaining parent left being so pathetic but Macy plays such a great role in this entire make up of a dysfunctional family.  At the end of Season 1, Steve tried to convince the oldest, Fiona, to skip town and enjoy all the warmth and care-free environment that Costa Rica has to offer.


One can only imagine all the thoughts she had going through her mind with removing all the responsibilities she has being the parental role in that house.  Not only would that be a huge factor in her decision but she also has to struggle with what she would leave behind.  Although burdensome, she is the glue that keeps this family together.  I can't blame her at all.  It would be easy to take that route but at the end of the day when you know others are depending on you, it's a no brainer.  If Steve truly loved her, he would understand that it's not even an option for her.  Have you ever been in a love over family situation where it would appear that love would be the easy way out but family's love trumps?


If you are a fan or soon to be, check out a scene from Shameless here:

Baby K’tan Baby Carrier Teams up with Operation Shower to Honor Expectant Military Moms

Once again, Baby K’tan Baby Carrier Teams up with Operation Shower to Honor Expectant Military Moms!   I love this program so I wanted to share the press release (see below).

Expectant military moms will receive the baby shower they deserve, along with the unique Baby K’tan Baby Carrier, at the first three upcoming 2012 events hosted by Operation Shower.

Through Operation Shower and generous donors such as Baby K’tan, LLC, military moms-to-be are recognized and honored for their sacrifices. These companies partner to organize baby showers for expecting families in the armed services.

“Baby K’tan feels privileged to be able to support Operation Shower in this important endeavor to celebrate our military moms,” says Michal Chesal, President of Baby K’tan, LLC. “In addition to our donation, we want to thank all of the new military moms for the sacrifices and contributions they, along with their families, make to better our country every day.”

Each mom-to-be will receive a stylish and unique award winning Baby K’tan Baby Carrier as well as gift boxes filled with baby supplies, clothing, toys, books, and more courtesy of Baby K’tan, LLC and other donors.

“Operation Shower celebrates and honors military families,” says LeAnn Morrissey, Chief Shower Officer. “Thanks to our generous partners, we don’t just throw a party; we provide each family with all the essentials needed for a great beginning with their baby.”

Last April, First Lady Michelle Obama, Dr. Jill Biden and Martha Stewart visited the Red White & Coo shower at Camp LeJeune, NC hosted by Operation Shower to provide support and encouragement for the moms as they highlighted their initiative to challenge Americans to support and honor America’s service members and their families.

“We know that being a new mom has its own challenges, but these moms make even more sacrifices to protect our families, as well as their own, and we are honored to be part of such a worthy cause” says Chesal. “We want to lessen their burden however we can.”

Both Operation Shower and Baby K’tan, LLC were founded in 2007, and have shown a devotion to giving back to the parenting community. Operation Shower has honored more than 400 families and hosted 12 unit-wide showers for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and National Guard. Baby K’tan LLC, founded by two families raising children with special needs, devotes a percentage of its proceeds to the American Heart Association, the National Down Syndrome Society and a number of local charities in addition to their new partnership with Operation Shower.

General Mills Frosted Toast Crunch Cereal Prize Pack Giveaway 1/30

I have to admit that we buy a lot of cereal!  My girls love cereal and one of the best things about my participation with MyBlogSpark is the opportunity to receive and try so man great cereals.  This time was no exception as my girls were able to try Frosted Toast Crunch and since they were already Cinnamon Toast Crunch fans, this was going to be an easy discussion.  


One of the things that draws me to Frosted Toast Crunch is it's made with 11 grams of whole grains, only 9 grams of sugar and is a good source of calcium.  


If you are like me, making sure your children get calcium is vital.  I want to give them a cereal they will eat that is also made with whole grains.  

The verdict?


Happy girls!  They loved it and they loved the spilt milk bowl and lickety spoon that arrived in our complimentary prize pack.  Each frosted square is just as delicious as the Cinnamon Toast variety but it has a frosted yummy taste.


Don't forget to enter my other giveaways!
