In my ideal world, I'd love to be one of those moms that makes their kids pancakes and eggs and big plates of fruit every morning. In reality, my kids seem to be starving the moment they get out of bed and, even if I had more motivation, I really don't think they would want to sit there after we all stumble down the stairs and I get things out to cook when they could instead have a bowl of cereal immediately.
Fortunately, I don't feel too guilty about that when I hear that 84% of parents give their kids cereal and milk for breakfast - it's just too convenient not to! However, that doesn't mean that I'm okay with any old cereal filling up my daughters' bowls in the morning, if it's going to start their day I want it to be a good one... meaning good taste as well as good for you.
And nobody understands that better than General Mills and their much-loved Kix.


Also, having been around for more than 70 years, Kix has the same flavor and unique texture that kids of all ages enjoy as it did when General Mills first introduced it back in 1937. I remember Kix from when I was younger and now having tried their regular flavor (made with all-natural corn) and Honey Kix (made with all-natural corn and honey) it definitely tastes the same - just light, crunchy, sweet and delicious!

Along with feeding my kids' bellies, I was happy to have a fun way to feed their minds with the 24-piece counting-themed floor puzzle and learn-to-count flashcards that Kix included. For two colorful ways to help encourage numbers, problem-solving, motor skills and more, these educational toys have been a cute way to add some entertainment into our day.

For a "Kid-Tested, Mother-Approved" meal, nothing beats the classic flavor and healthy nutrition of Kix. And, thanks to their generosity, one person will be able to enjoy a little extra breakfast (as well as some fun toys on the side), because...
One lucky person will win a "Kid-Tested, Mother-Approved" Prize Pack from Kix!

There is no such thing as a "typical" breakfast at our house, lol. Some days its cereal, no milk. Some days its cereal WITH milk :) Some days we have eggs and toast, others we do peanut butter on crackers with grapes... Whatever the little weirdo's are interested in, as long as its healthy!!!

A typical breakfast around here is usually my son eating a toaster strudel before getting on the bus and me and my husband drinking a cup of coffee. When my daughter wakes up she usually has a banana and some dry cereal.
