Big G Giveaway

 According to the 2010 Report of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, only five percent of Americans get the three full recommended daily servings - a shocking statistic.


With many Americans trying to live healthier, it's never been easier to get the whole grain you want without sacrificing taste. Every Big G cereal contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving, with more than 20 General Mills cereals delivering 16 grams or more. (At least 48 grams of whole grain are recommended daily.) Big G cereals are America's number one source of whole grain at breakfast, providing America with more whole grain at breakfast than any other breakfast food from any other manufacturer.

 Only whole grain gives you the vital nutrients from the complete grain. The health benefits of whole grains can't be pinpointed to one particular component of the grain. It's the "whole grain package" that makes the difference. In addition to fiber, whole grain contains antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other vital nutrients that help ensure a healthy diet. A diet high in whole grain has been found to help with diabetes and weight management, and it may help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.

 Get into the whole grain habit by just looking for the big white check on Big G cereals! Cereal is already one of the healthiest breakfast choices you can make, and the entire Big G cereal line is made with whole grain, making it a great choice. Big G cereals have the brands and flavor your family will love, including Cheerios®, Lucky Charms®, Cinnamon Toast Crunch®, Honey Nut Cheerios®, Fiber One® and Total®.
 
       One of my lucky followers is going to win all this stuff
A VIP coupon for one Big G cereal, a cereal on-the-go bowl, lunch bag, walking enthusiast kit and a digital   jump rope.
 


I have to say I was very surprised at how good the cereal is, I was eating it right out of the box when I got it home and I was having everyone try it. My kids had some friends over and I even had them try it and yes the whole box was gone in about 1/2 hour with out even using milk. I have since bought 2 more boxes and my family loves it.

Now for your chance to win the yummy box of cereal along with all the other cool stuff all you have to do is follow a couple simple rules

Valentines

 I hope you all had a good Valentines. I read so many blogs this week saying how it is just another day "which yes it is" and how they think people are just foolish to go out and buy stuff for this day. Well I also know it is another day and yes I do love my husband and kids everyday and I am so thankful for them but I just love all the red and pink heart stuff and it gives me a good excuse to eat chocolate. Yes we did have a good day, I did get all my kids a treat as well and no I don't think that means I am spoiling them and that they will think they need something all the time. Just look at what my hubby got me-
         This is my kids, my niece and nephew
                       















Oh ya I almost forgot my husband also got me this for Valentines

  My family was super excited when we opened the box full of cereal. Then when they realized there were cars in all the boxes that made it that much better. My boys collect Hot wheels as did my husband when he was a kid, so they were all totally excited to get these. We don't only eat cereal at breakfast but yes I might let them have it as dinner or put some in a baggy for a school snack. We loved all 5 boxes of cereal we were sent and my kids loved the cars.
