Chocolate Cheerios Giveaway
This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to commentor #58: Mellissa C!
One of America’s favorite cereals has just added another flavor . . . chocolate!
My kids have always loved Cheerios. So when we found out about this brand new flavor we were very excited. I feel that Cheerios make the perfect breakfast on school mornings because it’s quick and healthy. We can also put some in a baggie and take it along for the ride. They’re also great for little kids when they start eating solids because it’s easy for tiny fingers to pick-up and they are easily digestible.
And of course it’s healthy for you, too. One serving contains only 100 calories, at least 8 grams of whole grain, and is a good source of calcium and vitamin D.
But how does it taste? I loved the subtle but not overpowering chocolate flavor and it’s not too sweet. It’s a great combination of whole grains and cocoa! But best of all . . . the kids love it, too!

Before I even get out of bed, I lay there and think good thoughts. I tell myself “This is going to be a great day”. It puts a smile on my face and prepares me to face the world.

I start my day off with a smile by having my alarm clock go off to my favorite song. Instead of some irritating alarm, I have a soothing song to wake up to.
When I need to get out of bed in the morning to go to work, or college, I put on music so I can start the day right.
To help start my day off with a smile, I like to drink some hot tea before I head out to work!
