Target Monster Cereals (exclusively at Target) Review




Are you as old as I am and remember enjoying these cereals as a child?  Oh how we loved these cereals.  Count Chocula and Boo Berry were our families favorites!!  I was really excited to be able to introduce these cereals to my son.  As a word of caution, they are not Gluten Free.  They are made of corn which is a safe grain for Celiacs but on a line that also manufactures wheat..  That said, I have a non Celiac child who I keep Gluten Free.  For him, these cereals were perfect!  And I was excited to be able to share them with him just as I did when I was his age.

And..... Because of our personal experience and excitement towards this line of cereals, I wanted to share the following word from our sponsor with all of you....


Get ready for Halloween before all the ghosts, goblins, and monsters come to your door with this exclusive offer only at Target!


When you buy three (3) General Mills Monster Cereals in a single shopping trip at Target between October 1 through October 31, 2013, you’ll receive a free Monster Bash Magazine full of recipes, tips and tricks for you to have the creepiest, scariest, spookiest, most fun Halloween ever!
And if that’s not enough to get your Halloween howling, Target is going back in time with not only exclusive retro packaging, but also re-introducing two throwback flavors: Fruity Yummy Mummy and Frute Brute!

A few points to remember:
  • Monster Cereals in retro packaging are exclusively at Target!

Yoplait Whips! Review and Giveaway


I received the opportunity to try Yoplait Whips!, courtesy of My Blog Spark. Yoplait Whips! are unbelievably fluffy and light when enjoyed right from the refrigerator. Bubbly comes to mind when I first tried this item and they really do remind you of a mousse. My Blog Spark and Yoplait Whips! suggested we try them frozen and although I have tried other kiddie yogurts frozen it never occurred to me to try Yoplait Whips!

I actually prefer to freeze our yogurt.  Not only does it preserve the freshness but allows me to keep them at the perfect temperature when its time to enjoy them for a packed lunch. With coupon in hand, I set out to try and freeze the new whips.

What I discovered while I was there was Yoplait Whips! yogurt comes in 9 great flavors.
  • Chocolate Mousse
  • Chocolate Raspberry
  • Key Lime Pie
  • Lemon Burst
  • Orange Créme
  • Peaches ‘N Cream
  • Raspberry Mousse
  • Strawberry Mist
  • Vanilla Créme
Included in the prize pack that was sent to me to try out was the most adorable ice cream molds to use while freezing my yogurts into a wonderful frozen treat.  Now I know you can't taste it though the computer, so close your eyes and imagine an orange creme and vanilla creme swirl.  VERY YUMMY.

My son LOVED the chocolate.  Seriously, I'm  not lying.  He loved it.  I love that it was lower in calories and better for him.  I had the opportunity to taste it and it really was creamy and delicious.  The taste is better then the kiddie frozen yogurts we were freezing.  This one tastes just like frozen yogurt ice cream.


This mold is also ideal for the Gluten Free Child.  No worries about ordering speciality cones.  Your child will be perfectly happy using the included molded cones instead.  They look just like a regular cone and a good back up plan.  I just may have to store one in my purse for trips to the mall!

And how about that adorable bag.  It is the canvas type bag we used to carry to the beach as kids only this one is insulated.  I personally think it would be awesome for moms of babies and toddlers to carry the bottles.  I'm thinking it would be the perfect lunch bag too.  How about to carry the Celiac's child's snacks in?  Look at how it zippers at the top to allow for more room?  I'm in love with this adorable bag!

Yoplait Splitz Picnic Prize Pack Giveaway

I received the following message in my mail box two weeks ago from MyBlogSpark with the opportunity to review the new Yoplait Splitz:
"Now you can drive past your local sweet shop without looking back. Yoplait Splitz is the new yogurt that tastes like a sundae. Providing all of the goodness of 100% real yogurt, Yoplait Splitz is a good source of calcium and vitamin D. With no artificial flavors or sweeteners and no high fructose corn syrup, this 90 calorie dessert is the treat your family craves.
For an even "cooler" experience, just pop a Yoplait Splitz in the freezer and in a few hours you can enjoy a cool, creamy cup of authentic frozen yogurt. Available in three delicious flavor combinations including Strawberry Sundae, Strawberry Banana Split, and Rainbow Sherbet, Yoplait Splitz is sure to have your family screaming for more."
I was intrigued with the idea of Rainbow Sherbet flavor.  Sherbet is my daughters favorite and I just knew she would like it.  You see, yogurt at my house comes back home in the lunch box uneaten.  So I took my coupon and ran out to the store to pick up some of the new Yoplait Splitz.  I saved two for the refrigerator (one for each kid) and put two in the freezer.  My plan was to pack the yogurt in the lunch bag and see what they thought.

How did my children feel about the new Yoplait Splitz?

Hey, did you eat both of those out of the fridge?
They were good mommy, I can't wait to try them frozen!

He let me have a taste and the texture was more creamy and less tart than your ordinary yogurt. I am going to have to get another pack so my daughter can try them refrigerated.  Yes, they are also "safe" for my Celiac daughter.  But NEVER take my word for it.  Just look on the package and see for yourself.



See the "Gluten Free" on the bottom right?  I always feel better seeing that there.  Yoplait Splitz also happens to be free of High Fructose Corn Syrup.  Another ingredient we try and do without.

I noticed that they came in Strawberry Banana Split and Strawberry Sundae.  I would LOVE to try the Banana Split flavor.

Buy it:

You can buy the new Yoplait Splitz in your favorite grocery store.  You will find them along side the other Yoplait brand yogurts.  MyBlogSpark has generously offered THIS $0.75/1 coupon for you to download and print . I have also found coupons at Yoplait.com for $0.50/1 and at coupons.com (page 6 for me) for $0.75/2.



Win it:

One lucky winner will receive a Yoplait Prize Pack like the one above.

This is no ordinary bag.  It is a waterproof Activo Insulated Tote made by Picnic Time.  This is a nice quality bag with plenty of room.  Just pack it up and take it to the beach.  Or how about sporting events?  Instead of carrying all those heavy chairs across the field at Soccer, just pack your bag and bring the included blanket.  Let's not forget long car trips.  Pack it up with your cold items and take it to parties.  If you have a Celiac child, you know what I'm talking about.  It is a very versatile and stylish bag.  The color above is a "Red Clay" with caramel interior.

Lets not forget the roll up fleece picnic blanket.  Its backing is made of Nylon with an upper fleece.  It snaps closed and has a carry handle and shoulder strap.  Size is approximately 50"x58".
