Honey Bunches of Oats & the Starring You Sweepstakes

September 30, 2016 · Ad-Free, Narrative

This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own. And my opinion? We love cereal.

Untitled

When it comes to breakfast cereal, the kids and I are all over the map.

Or the cereal aisle, as the case may be.

Nick likes two or three kinds of cereal that Madeline doesn’t.

She likes two kinds of cereal that I don’t.

And, well, pretty much nobody likes the ones that I do.

Sound like your house too?

But when it comes to Honey Bunches of Oats, surprisingly, that’s the one cereal we can all agree on.

Now because there are several varieties of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal, I wouldn’t go so far as to say we all agree on the same one… but at least we’re in the same ballpark. Which is ok because there are 12 (yes, twelve!) different varieties to choose from.

Both kids honestly hate honey, but don’t mind the gentle honey nuances in the cereal, which is good, because I happen to love honey.

More honey, more better.

And we all love the crunch it delivers.

Because there are so many varieties of Honey Bunches of Oats, they are really celebrating the variety of flavors and textures in your bowl (and your taste buds!), and they have launched a new campaign called THIS. IS. EVERYTHING. Because, really, starting your day off with the right bite is what it’s all about, right? You might have noticed some recent ads for this campaign, and the Honey Bunches of Oats team has launched a new microsite to give fans (you and me) a chance to create our own cute little video. The kicker? You have a chance to win $10,000 for your THIS. IS. EVERYTHING. video, so … do it. I did. You can make your video right here.

And that’s not all. If you make your own video, which seriously takes less than five minutes and features your cute face and that of your fam, and drop the link to your video in a comment below, I will choose one lucky winner to win a $75 Visa gift card and a box of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal.

Who wouldn’t love a $75 gift card?!

The deadline to enter with your link below is midnight EST on October 9th.

If you can’t get enough of Honey Bunches of Oats, you can follow them at the below social media channels:

And PS – how cute are those handmade cereal bowls. Full disclosure, they’re actually ice cream bowls, but I love them so much, I don’t care WHAT we eat from it. Madeline made them over the summer at a local pottery place.

Thank you for supporting the brands that help support my family. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    I’m so bummed. I made the video, waited for Honey Bunches of Oats to send me the link (the dialogue box said that would happen) and … nothing. Just searched the site and couldn’t find it. Will try again tomorrow.
