So, when I received a box of the cereal to sample through MyBlogSpark, I immediately “dug in”. Just opening the box let loose the sweet, caramel scent. And I swear, as long as a box is in my house, my house smells sweet, just like the cereal. I offered some of the Dulce de Leche cereal to my youngest, who likes “circle cereal”, and he loved it. So I poured him a bowl. And then I poured him a second bowl. Then he was full. But he had more that night.

And ever  since Rice Krispies came up with “Rice Krispy Treats”, lots of other cereals came up with versions of snacks and meals you can make with their cereals. From smooshing cereal for a casserole topping, to mixing them with nuts and choco chips for a fun snack mix. The great thing about all these flavors of Cheerios, and especially the new Dulce de Leche cereal, you can really make something tasty with one of their many flavors. Below is a fun snack mix you can make for yourself (work-time snack) or child (school-day snack), as well as a yummy parfait that has lots of healthy ingredients.

Dulce de Leche Cheerios Snack Mix: Combine pretzels, nuts, cheese crackers, M&Ms or mini chocolate chips with Dulce de Leche Cheerios for a sweet and salty munching mix with a crunch. Perfect for a mid-day work snack or your child’s school snack.  I am making this for both my kids next week.

Dulce de Leche Cheerios Parfait: Jazz up your yogurt by layering Dulce de Leche Cheerios with fresh fruit, like bananas, strawberries and bananas. See my picture to the right!

Other Dulce de Leche Cheerios Recipes:

• Dulce de Leche Popcorn Balls- Gooey popcorn balls that melt in your mouth as you bite into the caramel flavors
• 

  Chowing on Dulce de Leche Cheerios the MINUTE it arrived.

But recently I was introduced to Kidz Gear Wired Headphones, which offers “grown-up” performance for kids, with features parents can approve of. Most important was the volume limit technology, which sets the max volume at 80 – 90 db. Anything louder can cause hearing loss. The headphones are designed for smaller heads. Plus it has padded ear covers for a comfortable fit.

Kidz Gear Wired Headphones are specifically designed to work with the Apple devices, such as the iPod, iPhone and iPad. Both my boys use refurbished iPhones to watch videos, play music and play games. Sometimes between them and my husband, there is a lot of competing sounds. But with headphones designed to work with their Apple devices, they can easily move through tracks with the built-in remote. And there is also an inline mic, which is great for Don’t Let the Pigeon Run this App, which records my children’s voices as part of the game. If they are using your phone, the mic would allow them to talk on the phone while wearing the headphones or issue commands to Siri.

Kidz Gear Apple Wired Headphones for Kids are available now for $29.95. You can find them at:

• Apple: Volume Limit Headphones – $29.95
• Amazon: Kidz Gear Wired Headphones For Kids – $29.95
  
• GearForKidz.com

Don’t Forget the Accessories!

• Kidz Gear Headphone Volume Limit Splitter – let’s two headphones be used with one device. And right now if you buy two headphones from KidzGear, you get the splitter for free! The Headphone Splitter retails for $5.99.

• Keep your child’s  headphone safe in a nylon, drawstring bag with a soft, lined inner. Each bag retails for $5.99.

ABOUT DONORSCHOOSE.ORG:

DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that connects you to schools in need. They help fund school projects in support of education and literacy. You can narrow your search by a school, state, city, etc. You can also read about their projects and needs – like a new carpet, books, pencil sharpeners, smartboards – and I even saw a request for the beloved Tag Readers! You can choose to give any amount and it tells you how much more they need and what time span they are working on to accept donations. It is really easy to donate.

And regarding that LeapFrog Tag request, there was a note that LeapFrog will fund 50% of this project if someone provides the remainder. That’s because LeapFrog has partnered with DonorsChoose.org to help teachers who want Tag Readers and books for their classroom.

MY CHOICE:

So, the Mom Buzz was given the opportunity to donate $25 to a school in need through Donor’s Choose. It was a hard choice! I would have loved to donate to my son’s school, of course, but the school wasn’t on the list. So I was looking far and wide, trying to choose between PE games, science equipment, butterfly kits and more. But I finally settled on donating to the Jumping Into Learning classroom project requested by Mrs. Garcia on Sep 27, 2011. She only has 22 more days to collect for her cause. What she wants is a Leapfrog Learning Center to assist her students in learning alphabet letters and sounds, numbers, and problem solving activities while building fine motor skills. What can I say, LeapFrog is paving the way for others to help thousands more children to learn to read with Tag™, the #1 selling reading system!

I can definitely approve of her project, since my son had a LeapFrog Tag center in his pre-K and it was successful. Plus, we have Leap Frog products at home where I can actually see my boys learning as they play. So, I made my donation and hope she gets the rest she needs to make this a successful project!

GIVE-AWAY!

Since 2009, LeapFrog has donated more than $1.5 million in Tag Reading Systems and books to the classrooms of more than 20,000 students. And not only did they give the Mom Buzz the opportunity to give $25 to a school project in need, they also have some for one lucky reader:

• The Opportunity to Donate $25 to another school in need via DonorsChoose.org
• A Tag system with 6 books!

Why not help LeapFrog bring $100,000 total in Tag Readers and books to classrooms in need? LeapFrog has already donated $50,000 and will match donations dollar for dollar up to $50,000!

• WIN $25 to donate to a school project in need through DonorsChoose.org
• Win a Tag reader and 6 books

Back in January I was buzzing about Walgreens Prescription Savings Club and how it can save you money, especially since they were having a fab deal back then where you could get a membership at a discount. Even if you missed that promotion, the savings are still valuable for a single or  family membership, especially one that includes the family pet!

The Prescription Savings Club is an annual membership that costs $20 for an individual and $35 for a family.  As part of the Prescription Savings Club you will receive savings on more than 8,000 BRAND NAME medications and all generic medications. In fact, more than 400 generics are available with a $3 month supply for less than $1 a week. Members receive discounts on flu shots, nebulizers and diabetic supplies. And the Family Membership even includes pet prescriptions!

This is perfect for people and families who have insufficient or no drug coverage. I know I am shocked how much my meds would be without a prescription plan! Plus, you can also earn “bonuses” by purchasing Walgreens brand products,  Nice! brand products and photofinishing services. Ten percent of the pre-tax price is credited to your card for future purposes. Products include toothpaste, over-the-counter medicine, food, cleaners, storage bags, plastic utensils and more.

If you want to keep tabs on more ways to save and stay healthy, be sure to like Walgreens on Facebook and follow Walgreens on Twitter. You can also sign up for e-mail subscriptions.

Guests can purchase annual passes that include the attraction online at www.LEGOLAND.com and at AAA Auto Club South locations.  The Premium Pass includes unlimited admission to both LEGOLAND Florida and LEGOLAND Water Park, free parking and discounts within the park. The Premium Pass is $179 for adults and $149 for children 3-12 and seniors 60 and older.
