Our mornings are busy!! And our family regularly grabs a box of cereal for a quick, yummy and beneficial breakfast!I was soo excited to receive a "Kid Tested, Mother Approved" kit with a box of Kix and a box of Honey Kix as well as some smart goodies for the kids;) I was excited because I really wanted to try out the Honey Kix since I"m a person who usually sticks with what I know THE FAM will like;)
The Honey Kix were delicious, just like the originial;) Just the right amount of sweetness for a bowl of cereal and a dry snack later in the day!!! And what I enjoyed even more was the long list of vitamins and minerals included in each bowl! I also liked the ingredients.... simple and readable;) And what isn't in the box, like high-fructose corn syrup, artificial colors or flavors, or saturated fat!!!
The box quickly disappeared off our shelf and I wish I could say it was only because of the kids :)
GET YOUR OWN!! You can get your own Kix at the grocery store:)
WIN YOUR OWN!! We have an awesome "Kid Tested, Mother Approved!" prize pack for a SIMPLE reader.

I get up and get dressed asap. This way, I know I'm gonna be up and dressed before/when the baby wakes up and I'm not super comfy in my pj's so I won't get sleepy and go lay down again. I get more done that way.
ReplyDeleteAs a full time working mom of 2 toddlers my mornings are BUSY! To get my kids moving we march, hop or skip to our activities. I let them choose and we all end up smiling in the end.

ReplyDeleteCoffee! Well really it's getting up and getting in a quick workout before my crazy day starts. I feel better and seem to handle the stress of a 4 year old and pregnancy better with an early morning workout!

ReplyDeleteto make our morning easier with a 4 year old and a one year old we cute up fresh fruit every week and sometime have to eat it on the way to preschool but it's a great mornign treat and not to messy for car rides.
ReplyDeleteif we have a busy morning ahead, I lay out all the kids' clothes out ahead of time - they can get themselves dressed if the wake up early and I don't waste time making decisions!

ReplyDeleteMy husband leaves much earlier than my 3-yr-old and I do, so I'm alone for the morning scramble. Things work much better if I set out our clothes for the day and have lunches packed and ready to go out the door.

I get the older kiddos breakfast usually while the baby is still sleeping. Then while they are eating I get my breakfast and the baby usually wakes up at this time. I feed her and then while I eat she has some solids. After the older kiddos go to school I put LO in her activity center outside my shower, then she plays while I shower and get dressed.

We pick out clothes and lay everything out the night before. And we keep breakfast foods cooked in the freezer, like pancakes or waffles. My son loves having something hot in the am. (But he loves cereal at lunch.)
