Penguins of Madagascar Giveaway!

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

This giveaway is now closed.  The winner was Author: Sue, Comment: My son just said Skipper. Thanks for the giveaway!

My girls absolutely LOVE Penguins of Madagascar!  You know who loves them the most though?  The J-Man!  We watch the movie, the cartoon…we can’t get enough of those witty sarcastic penguins!

Lauren has had an obsession with penguins since she was a baby, so when the Penguins of Madagascar came out we were all over it.  I even have a penguin tattooed on me because of Lauren!

Right now, in specially marked boxes of General Mills Cereal you can get some penguin fun for your own kids (or yourself and significant other for that matter!)

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 including:

  • Dive In, Soldier – Set an empty plastic cereal bowl on the table and try to pop your launcher into it. Wear a helmet or you’ll be squid bait.
  • Longest Propulsion Launcher – Challenge your troops to see who can launch their character the furthest. Go long or go back to the zoo.
  • Target Practice – Create a landing zone with a spoon and try to strategically drop your character into the sweet spot. Hit the target or go back to the drawing board.
  • Clear the Wall – Do you have enough projectile pop to push your launcher over the top of the box? Proceed launchin’ troops, earn those wings!

Emma and Lauren were having so much fun with the launchers. It was easy for them to do without help which is a huge plus in my book! I had flying penguins all over the living room!

The kids love Trix cereal and have almost devoured the entire box!  We are about to watch The Penguins of Madagascar Operation: DVD Premier for the billionth time and the penguins are being launched again in anticipation!  I think I need to run for cover!  Before I do….here is a giveaway for you!

I Love Me Some Key Lime Pie!

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

This Giveaway is now closed.
The winners are: 26, 62, 30
fiberone_072409

Take that Key Lime Pie and make it into a good for me yogurt?  You just made my day!  That is just what they did in the Fiber One Yogurts.  The Fiber One Yogurt is the only leading nonfat yogurt with 50 calories and 5 grams of fiber (20 percent of the Recommended Daily Value).  Fiber One is also available in a variety of other flavors including, Strawberry, Peach and Vanilla.  I have also tried the Peach and it was delish as well!

FiberOne Gift Photo-MediumI was sent a “Healthy & Fit Weight Management” gift bag from My Blog Spark that includes a Fiber One yogurt VIP coupon (good for a free 4-pack of Fiber One yogurt), cooler pack, and other storage items for me to carry our snacks and yogurt in.  We are on the go a lot and this is perfect.

I tend to be a bit of a picky eater, well in the meat department anyhow.  I don’t really like it that much (I like bacon very much though…mmm).  Anyhow, a lot of times I grab a yogurt to eat when I am being picky like this.  It’s pretty crazy because these yogurts are in smaller containers, yet they fill you up quickly because they are jam packed with fiber!

If you are trying to lose weight or just be healthier, then give this yogurt a try (I suggest the Key Lime Pie).  You can print a coupon by clicking here.   They have the Hungry Girl seal of approval!

I am happy to say that 3 of my readers can receive their very own gift pack like I did!  See the photo above!

Main Entry: In a comment tell me what is your guilty snacking pleasure?
