Combining some of our favorite cereals with a new fun summer movie about what our pets would say if they could talk….? COUNT US IN.
If you’re a regular reader, you’ve no doubt heard me mention that breakfasts are usually a challenge, as I’m sure it is in many households as well. Our breakfast is usually something that is grab-and-go (that I have undoubtedly prepared over the weekend), or something that is super simple. Like cereal.
Because although we might hit the snooze button a few too many times … and might race around the house looking for last minute items as we dash out the door … we can almost always eeek out a few minutes for a small bowl of cereal.
Both of my kids like cereal, but, of course, not the same kinds. Madeline likes Lucky Charms, but lets me eat the marshmallows, and Cheerios. Nick likes Cheerios as well, but a different kind than Madeline, and he also loves the occasional bowl of Cocoa Puffs.
Thank goodness for variety.
And now that select General Mills Big G cereals, namely Honey Nut Cheerios, Cheerios Multi Grain, Lucky Charms, Trix and Cocoa Puffs, are all carrying a special collectible character from the summer hit movie The Secret Life of Pets … well, it’s possible we’re going through cereal at a slightly faster pace than usual.
Because OF COURSE we need to collect all the different characters.
It’s quite possible I’ve caught Madeline acting out some of the funnier parts of the movie with her characters while downing her cereal.
Quite possible.
She’s already attached her favorite character, Max, onto her new school backpack already.
We love #BigGPets.
The folks at General Mills sent along cereal, and a cute little doghouse for Madeline to decorate, which was a fun activity on a rainy summer afternoon. Of which we’ve had more than a few of. Madeline went with the minimalist route with the paint, but went to town with metallic embellishments. Because tweens + gold = heaven.
