$1 coupon for General Mills Cereals!!

Here's a GREAT coupon for General Mills Cereals from MyBlogSpark! Click HERE to get it!
This week General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.

Other cereal benefits:
  • Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.

  • Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.

  • More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.
Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.

Holly and Hal Moose from Build-A-Bear

I got the chance to review Holly and Hal Moose from Build-A-Bear. They are soooo cute! We love Build-A-Bear! The girls all have their own bears from their birthday party last year. I also have my own elephant from there. Now Joseph is claiming Hal as his own. :-) The girls just love to play with them. They came all decked out in full clothing and when you squeeze Hals hand the lights on his antlers light up. So fun!!
Aren't they just the cutest little things?!! Plus they came with a copy of their book: Holly and Hal Moose: Our Uplifting Christmas Adventure. It is a fun story and my girls have loved reading it over and over! It even tells how Hal got the lights stuck in his antlers. hehe
You can pick up these cute little guys at your local Build-A-Bear or you can shop at Build-A-Bear online!
You can watch a preview of the Holly and Hal Moose: Our Uplifting Christmas Adventure DVD HERE. It's on DVD now and you can pick up your own copy here for a great stocking stuffer that your kids are sure to love.
