Kix Giveaway

When it comes to starting off your day right, a new survey from Kix found that 84 percent of parents turn to cereal with milk for a quick and healthy breakfast.

Cereal is one of the healthiest breakfast choices parents can make. Ready-to-eat cereal has fewer calories than almost any other common breakfast option, while also being nutrient-dense and convenient. In addition, cereal eaters consume less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters.

With the same great taste kids have loved for more than 70 years, Kix makes it easy to serve your family a simple and healthy breakfast! Whether you choose to serve Original Kix or Honey Kix, you can be sure that your kids are getting a wholesome food with nutrients they need to grow.

The “Kid-Tested Mother-Approved®”cereal is made with whole grain corn and is an excellent source of iron. It also is a good source of calcium, fiber, and Vitamins C and D. Original Kix has no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

Ultra Digital Thermometer

My Review: Finally one that works!

5out of 5

Pros: Lightweight, Good Value, Easy To Use, Effective

Cons: Storage

Best Uses: Children, Daily Use

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Finally a thermometer that not only works but one my kids wont fight! I don't know about you but when I try and take my toddlers' temp its like they grow 8 arms and legs and fight you the whole time. And that's even with an Ear Thermometer (forget about using a rectal or under the tounge one!) , and I never get an accurate reading.

Since having the Mobi Digital Thermometer my children actually let me take their temp. My Lila even likes to play with it. Which in hindsight may cause a whole other problem, but I can live with that one! I love that it not only takes your child's temp it takes the temperature of the room. After comparing it to a 'under the tongue' Thermometer I found that the Mobi Thermometer is very accurate and I feel better knowing its there when we need it. Peyton prefers his temp taken in his ear and Lila likes the forehead reading.

The only bad thing I could think of is that it doesn't have a very portable storage case. It comes with a little base to sit in, and I like to carry my Thermometer in the diaper bag.
