Back to school is probably one of my favorite times of the year. I think for some people life gets more hectic when kids go back to school but not for me. I home school my oldest daughter so I don’t have to worry about packing a lunch for her but I do have to come up with some good easy snacks to keep her focused during the day. She thinks that school should be baking all day. Great way to incorporate math into a lesson but not something I want her doing all day, every day which she would if I let her. She’s always loved cereal probably because it was all I was able to eat when I was pregnant with her younger brother and sister! I knew as soon as I heard about General Mills Cereal Treat Bars that she would love them. Two of the varieties are Golden Grahams® (130 calories) and the new Lucky Charms® Treats (100 calories), loaded with popular favorites like chocolate and marshmallows. My oldest loved the Golden Grahams and my youngest loves the marshmallows in the Lucky Charms bars. I’ve also found that since we do a lot of waiting in doctors offices these are a quick easy way to prevent tantrums when a doctor is running late and it’s getting close to either lunch or dinner.
If your child does go to school and they participate in the Box tops for Education program you will be happy to know that each box comes with two seals for your school. Jahnna keeps asking me why we can’t collect them for our homeschool! I let her clip them out and then we send them with my son to his school.
You can check out Cereal Treats Bars online for great information and coupons for new products. Also, be sure to visit the Betty Crocker Facebook page and get involved in the conversation. They would love to hear how your family enjoys Cereal Treats Bars!

What are you willing to do to get what you really want? Have you ever thought about it that way? I’ve found that I tend to think in terms of what I want but dont’ really follow through and make a plan. Paula Renaye does a wonderful job of taking you through the steps to get what you really want.
The Shower Scrubber is a great idea for those who aren’t very tall or who have a hard time bending over to scrub floors. It worked great in my teeny tiny shower. Usually to clean our shower you have to open the door and kneel down outside the shower and scrub the floor. I was able to use this while standing in the shower. That might not seem like a big deal but my shower only gets cleaned on days when I have a few extra minutes in the morning while I’m taking a shower. Please tell me I’m not the only one who multitasks in such a weird way? I’ve only used the shower scrubber twice so I don’t know how long it will last but the two times I have used it I’ve loved it.
I used to save our old toothbrushes to clean around the sink edges and get in those hard to reach spots. The toothbrushes never really did a great job but where more effective than a rag. I think this might be my favorite tool out of the new product line. You can get anywhere with the Nook and Cranny Scrubber. It cleaned the edges of my sink, that gunk that collects around the faucet handles, the edges around the toilets. The linoleum in our kitchen has been split along the seam ever since we moved in and I even used it to clean out the crud that’s accumulated in there over the last 4 years.
I don’t have any grout in my house so I wasn’t sure that I would ever use this scrubber. I had read some great reviews on it and I started wondering if there was anything I could use it for. I decided I’d try it along the baseboards in our bathrooms. It worked great. I wasn’t sure it could really get down into the edge but it did. I don’t know that I’d buy it for that purpose because I love the Nook and Cranny scrubber so much but in a pinch this works great for things other than grout.
I’ve never used a streak free cloth before that worked. They always leave either the streaks or lint behind. My husband had no interest in them either. Until he saw this one. He stole it from me! How rude! Seriously this is his direct quote “This is mine! Keep your hands off it or go get another one. In fact get one for each bathroom!” In his defense he was laughing when he said that. He used it to clean the computer screen, his glasses and the t.v.. I used it once on my daughters grimy tooth paste crusted mirror and it did a great job. I haven’t gone and gotten one for each bathroom only because we’ve been in and out of the hospital and back and forth for doctors appointments. As soon as life settles down a bit these are at the top of my grocery list.

The Angled Scrubber works well for those of you who like more of a sponge type product. The angled edge is great for cleaning under edges. It has a non-scratch side for the heavier jobs and a sponge side. The angled edge is really the best feature of this product.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opens everywhere on May 20th. If everything goes as planned I am excited to be able to go to a screening on the 16th. Here is the official description of the movie.
