Calling All My Oreo O’s Lovers! #BestCerealEver @ShopRiteStores #Ad

    I can hardly contain my excitement about new OREO O’s® CEREAL! First of all, we have been fans of the cookies since as far back as I can remember and, to think that we could now enjoy them in the form of a delicious breakfast cereal that tastes so good is a dream come true!     These chocolatey, crunchy O's will give you that nostalgic taste that you love from your childhood of rich creme coating and leave your bowl full of cookie flavored milk that will have you drinking every last drop. We love this tasty cereal because it can be enjoyed in so many ways.     So far my boys have enjoyed it as a back to school snack, they have shared it with their friends in the car during road trips, and they beg for it for breakfast and I don't even have to twist their arm to eat it in the morning before school. I think many of their classmates have started requesting that their parents pick it up while grocery shopping because I've seen it in the carts of other moms I know while shopping for … [Read more...]

Honey Bunches of Oats-New Fruit Blend Flavors

    We are huge fans of Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal in my house.  To be quite honest, I rarely get to eat any of it when we bring it home from the grocery store because the boys and my husband gobble it up right away.  It was definitely cause for celebration when we received the opportunity to review their new Fruit Blend Flavors.     The two Fruit Blends that we received were Peach and Raspberry along with Banana and Blueberry.  I knew right away that my husband and my older son would naturally gravitate towards the Banana and Blueberry Blend because they are not big fans of Peach.     Of course, I was absolutely right and I didn't even get to try that flavor because they polished off that box before I even got around to tasting it. According to them it was delicious and they want to know when I'm buying it again.     Now, my younger son and I love Peach and Raspberry so we sat down together to try this Fruit Blend.  It was delicious!  I liked the fact that the peach taste was … [Read more...]
