Mommy Bloggers Help Hunger with Cheerios

I am very excited to have participated in Bloggers In Caring and here's the best part: I, along with other local mommy bloggers are featured in a mosaic on the most recent box of Cheerios that are on sale exclusively in ShopRite stores! Yes, lowly little old me is on a Cheerios box, along with some incredible woman. I'm in the top row, middle :)

As a result of our efforts, 3,000 boxes of cereal will be donated to local food banks in ShopRite’s trading area!

You can get your photo on a Cheerios box too!
Here's how. Their next project to help raise awareness and funds to aid in the fight against hunger has just launched. ShopRite Partners In Caring, together with General Mills, has launched a video contest, Expressions of Hunger. This contest challenges everyday people just like you to submit videos using song, poetry, dance or dramatic reading that creatively express the plight of the hungry or offer solutions to the issue of hunger. Up to six grand prize winners will have their stories and photos featured on a special-edition Cheerios box available exclusively at ShopRite stores in September 2010! The contest is open from January 1 through March 1, 2010.

Chobani® Champions - Greek Yogurt Just for Kids

Chobani® Greek Yogurt has launched a new line of yogur just for kids. The line, entitled Chobani Champions, combines the nutritional benefits of Greek yogurt with kid-loving flavors like Strawana, Verry Berry, Honeynana, and Chocolate. This 2% low fat yogurt has real fuite, no preservatives, and no artifical flavors.  It is also gluten-free and kosher-certified.

Chobani sent us one of each flavor to try. They are very thick and creamy.  My youngest is a freak about yogurt and loved them all. He especially liked the Honeynana. My oldest likes a smoother, lighter yogurt so these weren't up his alley, and I think the chocolate was not what he was expecting.

Champions include probiotics and 2X more protein than other yogurts. It is also made with hormone-free milk

At Chobani, they give 10% of profits to charities throughout the world, like Farm to School programs, CARE, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, and more. They have most recently donated $50,000 to Haiti Relief efforts.

We received free samples of Chobani products to facilitate our review.

Johson's Baby Shower Blog Tour

As part of the Johnson's Baby Shower Blog Tour, we were excited to receive a box full of Johnson's Baby products. The box contained lots of baby bathtime products, along with lotions and a Destin diaper creme.

My all-time favorite baby shower gift to give to any expectant mom is a gift basket full of baby essentials. And what gift basket wouldn't be complete without Johnson's Baby products? The photo shown here is a recent gift I gave to a good friend to congratulate her on the birth of her 2nd daughter. It was very happily received. I included Johnson's Baby Shampoo, Lotion and Destin Diaper Creme. These are all useful products to a mom with a new baby in the house.

My son's (and my) favorite item in the collection is and has always been the Bedtime Bath®. This is one of the best smelling bath products we've tried and it definitely helps calm baby (and mommy) down in preparation for bedtime. It is also a NO MORE TEARS® formula to protect little eyes from stinging.
