This post is sponsored by General Mills and Usher, but my love for their Honey Nut Cheerios and amazing song is all mine!

The cold and flu season are upon us and as I mentioned in my last post, I haven't been feeling too well myself. So how can we avoid getting sick when it's all around us? The obvious answer is to wash ours hands, especially after you shake someone else's! However, the not so obvious answer is staying healthy and active with Cheerios and Usher...totally not what you were thinking, but it's true! 

 When you're morning is busy and you can't be bothered to think about what you're eating, you grab a bowl of cereal, right? Well some of us have a cabinet full of cereals that are high in sugar and artificially flavored because we have a big sweet tooth and midnight cravings! But now that I'm in my 30's I need to start choosing cereals that are good for me and will help me stay healthy to fight off colds and the flu. That's why I love Honey Nut Cheerios, they are heart healthy and naturally sweetened with real honey, there is no better cereal to help kick off your healthy and active day. 

Well, you will also need Usher's new song "Clueless" to kick off the active part of your day! I don't know about you, but I love starting my day with music. It helps put me in a good mood to begin my day on the right note.

Whether you've been a fan of Usher's music since his first hit album "My Way" in 1997, discovered his music in 2001 when you heard "U Got it Bad" or rooted for #TeamUsher on The Voice last year, you won't want to miss out on your chance to get this exclusive free download from specially marked boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios at Walmart.

How do you get your morning started so you stay on the right track of staying healthy and active? 

Talking to the Moon...

How was your weekend? We had a really nice one, my mom and my sisters came up for a visit to take my mom out to lunch to celebrate her birthday. Happy Birthday Mom...April 18th! We went to AppleBee's and had them sing to her...it was really cute! Here are a few photos of the album I made for her...using paper lunch bags, thanks to my best friend for helping me!

My sister gave us this house warming gift..since this was her first time visiting our new place!

Now our Butterfly Meadow set is complete...PS my sister didn't even know we had this set, it was total fate and coincidence that she bought the same design! LOVE!

Scrapbooking...

I wanted to show everyone what my best friend and I were doing a few weekends ago while scrapbooking until 3am!! First we did a few pages in our scrapbooks and then she showed me how to make a mini album from putting scrap paper together. Hope everyone had a great weekend, it was finally warm out for the entire weekend so we all went bike riding on Saturday and Sunday!

(Just picture it with pictures!)

I put the three girl owls at the top because all of the pictures in this mini album will be of me and my two step daughters and all of our little adventures together...baking cookies, going to walks, and just hanging out!
