The way we start out in the morning sets the tone for the whole day – so getting a great start is SO important! As a working mom of an infant who is a total morning person (and a toddler who is most definitely NOT), it’s a challenge to get everyone on the same page before it’s time to run out the door. When people hear that I have a full-time job in addition to the blog and the kiddos, the one thing I hear most often is, “I don’t know how you do it!” Well, I’m teaming up with Kellogg’s this winter to share our tips for starting our days out great – even with so many things going on! From preparing for those hectic mornings to eating right and staying active, stay tuned in the weeks to come for some of the ideas and recipes I use to manage our mornings!
We are a Kellogg’s family. You see, I actually grew up near Battle Creek, Michigan, where Kellogg’s is headquartered – so I have actually been to the Cereal Festival, I’ve seen Tony the Tiger in person, and I’ve had cereal at the world’s longest breakfast table! Kellogg’s brand cereals were a part of my childhood, so this partnership is especially exciting to me.
Next week I’ll be sharing easy ways to keep snacks on-hand to make those on-the-go days easier. You know the ones: kids to drop off and pick up, errands to run, places to be – and not much time to get it all done. You’d be amazed what you can pack in just one minute – be sure to come back and check it out!

World’s longest breakfast table?! How many people were actually there? How fun! I agree- Kellogg’s is just one of those trusted brands- reach for it without thinking twice :)
Kara says
I could live on cereal! Since hubby is deployed, there are many nights that Connor and I eat cereal for dinner:)
Kadie says
There are day’s that if we didn’t have cereal we may have starved. lol We are a huge cereal family! I’m excited to see what is coming up with this partnership!
Meredith says
I think I eat cereal at least twice a day! LOVE Kellog’s brand too :)
Jen says
I’m a big fan of cereal in the morning but my hubby likes it for a late night snack. The kid in me will always love Froot Loops but as a grownup now I switch it up with Smart Start more often- I love it! (and who can resist the family favorite Rice Krispie treats?!) YUM!
amy says
A cereal festival? Awesome! We love Kellogg’s cereal!
Kirsten says
My hubby’s aunt used to work for Kellogg’s in Michigan! We are totally dependent on cereal in the mornings, too. I take a bowl to work and eat at my desk since I have to leave so early, but Kellogg’s has so many options, I never get tired of it! Looking forward to seeing what you share Adrianne!
Clydia says
Our family loves cereal for breakfast, lunch & dinner! I’m all in for a cereal festival! xoxo
Melanie says
We eat Kellogg’s cereal every day. It’s an awesome breakfast.
Marilyn says
Cereal is a great quick breakfast…great for an on-the-go mom with little ones! It’s also a great way to have a “restaurant” in the morning….everyone can “order” their favorite cereal! Also, what fun it must be to attend the cereal festival!
Adrianne says
Actually, that is a brilliant idea! We are totally going to play “restaurant” for breakfast!
Sharon says
I love Kellogs and like you it was a staple in our home as a child. My favorite cereal when I was kid was Kellog’s corn flakes. ( I still love them. )
Starting the day off right , with breakfast, is a big goal of mine this year. I’ll be following your series!
Jane says
I’m really looking forward to your up-coming tips! My goal this year is to eat healthier, and I think breakfast is the most important meal of the day! I’m looking for the highest fiber with the most protein cereal that still tastes good!
Lindsay says
Kellogg’s cereal is the best!! We love cereal at our house. That cereal festival sounds so fun!!
Shanna Gilbert says
Okay, you had me a cereal festival. That would be so cool. We are a Kelloggs cereal family also. I am kicking off a the new year trying to get healthy so I will definitely keep checking back to see all of your tips!
Tara says
What is a cereal festival? My hubby would be one of the first in line to check it out (he’s a cereal fanatic)!
And I have to admit, there’s something so good about a late night bowl of cereal. Yum!
Laurie says
Teaming up with a company that promotes health, family and well-being, brilliant! Can’t wait to see all of the tips and ideas you provide for pulling a busy life all together.
Elena Sullivan says
How fun! Who doesn’t love Kellog’s? I think you need to post some pictures of these festivals in your upcoming posts!
Adrianne says
You know I looked for some, I couldn’t find any! It was WAY before the digital age. Now that my dad is gone I would bet they are packed safely away in a box somewhere. I really wanted to show you all photos of me missing teeth as a kid, and Tony the Tiger!! Haha!
ChiWei says
There’s a cereal festival? Awesome. We do cereal at our house every morning, and I’ve really got to get back into getting a good start in the mornings!
SheilaG says
Cereal is a mainstay at our home. A bowl of cereal when nothing else sounds good is often a quick and easy dinner, too.
