Summer is in Session! Along with family vacations and trips to the zoo, General Mills is teaming up with Nickelodeon's The Penguins of Madagascar to bring the action-packed adventures of summer to your very own breakfast table.

Inside specially marked boxes of General Mills cereals, you'll "commence operations" with one of five characters from The Penguins of Madagascar; Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, Private or King Julien. Each participating cereal contains one character launcher with mission details outlined on the back of the box.

My Blog Spark and General Mills provided my family with one of the Penguins of Madagascar prize packs which included one box of Trix cereal, a Penguins of Madagascar launcher and the new Penguins of Madagascar movie, The Penguins of Madagascar Operation: DVD Premier.

My girls immediately tore into the box to see what was inside and started playing with the launchers. They had lots of fun flying them through the house and trying to make baskets, or getting them to land on the counter or table. We also had some cereal and it is yummy. The girls loved it!

My Blog Spark and General Mills would like to give one of my readers (US only) a Penguins of Madagascar prize pack. To enter just leave a comment and I will choose a winner at random on Friday, July 23rd.

He's a man, He's 40!

My wonderful husband, the man of my dreams of 15 years, turned 40 yesterday. He is such a wonderful man, and an incredible father. We have been together a long time and I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else. But he has this one flaw, he is not one to let me throw big parties and make a big deal out of his birthday. He would rather go along like any other day and not be the center of attention. (This is why we get along so well, we are total opposites!)

It took everything I had not to decorate his office in black balloons, or put up big signs proclaiming his man hood! But I refrained. I was good and did not make a big deal out of the day. We had a quiet dinner at home and the girls gave him presents and I made him his favorite Whoppers cupcakes. YUM!

Later in the evening he said, "I could tell you were wanting to be ornery. Thanks for not doing anything." I replied, " I knew paybacks may not be so nice." You see, in a few short months I will bid my 30s goodbye and welcome a new decade with open arms. But I want a big shin-dig!!! (Are you reading this hun?)

Mail you get when you turn 40!

So, this year I will turn 40. What? Oh you guys are too kind for saying I don't look that old! I have a few more months until I have to think about it so I try not to. A few days ago, as I was looking through the mail I notice something addressed to me. Upon reading it I realized it was a postcard from the Menopause Center of Oklahoma!!! Is this the type of mail I can expect to get now that I am turning 40?! I have at least 10 years before going through "the change" so why so early on the mail! Are they afraid they will not get my business if they don't send correspondence now? I guess I can call and make an appointment for September 2020.
I showed Travis and he got a big laugh out of it.

What can you do????

Yoplait Greek Yogurt

MyBlogSpot recently sent me a box with fun spa items and coupons for free Yoplait Greek Yogurt to "Nourish My Inner Goddess". Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt, 12 grams to be exact, and has ZERO grams of fat. Yoplait is the only leading yogurt with vitamins A and D in every cup and is an excellent source of calcium. I chose the Blueberry and Honey Vanilla but it also comes in Strawberry and Plain.

I have never tried Greek Yogurt before and I must say at first I was a little surprised. Last night I decided to try the blueberry. I was expecting normal yogurt but this Greek yogurt is much thicker and has a more creamy texture. It took a few bites for me to get use to but I really enjoyed it. I then added some of my husband's Wheaties Fuel cereal and it was really yummy! I really enjoyed it and will purchase it again. It was a great snack and very healthy.

The product, prize pack, information, and giveaway were provided to me by Yoplait through MyBlogSpark.

Here is a link to a coupon if you would like to give Yoplait Greek Yogurt a try.
