First day of school and a giveaway!


Liddy Bitty had her first day of 1st grade! It was a crazy week. We had one day after getting back from our 3 week vacation to get her ready. I was just a touch stressed. I did get real first day photos on my actual camera, but it's just so much work downloading them. So here's the instagram pic of the day. 
It was 102 degrees. It's still very much summer here. 


 I like to make a special breakfast on the first day of school. It's turning into our little tradition. 
This year I made something I knew Lydia would be thrilled with.


Cocoa Puff Muffins! How crazy fun is that? 

Guess what? I have some to share with you!

Is your family cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs®? Do they crave Cinnamon Toast Crunch® and Reese´s® Puffs too?  Well then get ready to enjoy these flavors in a completely new and exciting way, out of the bowl and straight from the oven! New Betty Crocker® Cereal Muffin Mixes are inspired by Big G cereal favorites Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, and Reese´s Puffs, and are sure to be a fun way to re-mix your morning meal routine. 

Whether your family is gathering around the table for breakfast or simply grabbing a bite on-the-go, new Betty Crocker Cereal Muffin Mixes will provide a tasty and convenient way to jumpstart your day.  http://bit.ly/CMcoupon to download a printable coupon for $.80 off one package of any variety of Cereal Muffin Mix.

My son is 18 months old, so no first day of school traditions yet. The best part of the summer was when we traveled home to Florida for a week to visit family, it was wonderful! :)

Something special we do, is both my husband and I take our kids to school the first day.

And for the summer, we had a great time watching them play softball and baseball! They did totally awesome, both taking 2nd place with their teams.

I always bring my kids to school on the first day. They are still young enough that I can even walk them to their classroom so they feel comfortable!
