    Kix Cereal “Kid-Tested, Mother-Approved” Review (& Giveaway Ends 11/29)

    By 248 Comments

    Did you know that 84% of parents turn to cereal with milk for a quick and healthy breakfast?  With my family, cereal makes everyone happy and I especially love the few dishes it leaves!  Luckily, I read that cereal is one of the healthiest breakfast choices parents can make.  Ready-to-eat cereal has fewer calories than amongst any other common breakfast option, while also being nutrient-dense and convenient. In addition, cereal eaters consume less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters.

    One cereal that has been pleasing parents and kids for more than 70 years now is Kix.  Whether you choose Original Kix or Honey Kix, both offer a wholesome breakfast with nutrients for growing kids.  Kix is most commonly known from the commercial slogan “Kid-Tested Mother-Approved,” I can still remember the commercials I think there were two boys at a table eating Kix.  What makes Kix “Mother-Approved” is it being made with whole grain corn, iron, calcium, fiber, and Vitamins C and D.  There are also no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

    Honestly, Kix has been off my radar for quite some time.  Now though that my 2 year old has become a cereal-aholic, I have been buying healthier cereals that what I used to buy.  I forgot how good Kix was and I don’t think I ever tried the Honey Kix which is delicious!  It may not have marshmallows or fun shapes, but Kix has us with the flavor and once my son had he didn’t miss the colorful marshmallows.

    VISIT: To find out more, visit the recently launched Kix website, www.KixCereal.com, featuring background on the history of Kix, nutritional content, and special offers.

    WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive a Kix “Kid-Tested, Mother-Approved” prize pack including a 24-piece counting-themed floor puzzle, fun learn-to-count flashcards, a sippy cup, a portable snack container and a box each of Original Kix and Honey Kix cereals.

    TO ENTER: How do you make your busy morning routine special for your family?

      I try to make our morning special by letting my girls be a little more independent and feel like they are big! Whether its getting themselves dressed, packing their lunch, etc. That way it helps with my busy tasks and keeps them occupied!

      During the week, our mornings are hectic. On the weekend mornings though, we sit down for a nice breakfast that my husband and I make (french toast normally). It’s special for the kids. 🙂

      My 2-year-old LOVES to feed the cats after he’s done eating breakfast. He always gets to eat first though… 🙂

      I usually make oatmeal and have a variety of toppings for the kids to choose from. They love mixing their own special creations.

      My little boy has a picture schedule & removes each task as he completes the morning routine. This seems to really help him feel in control of his day.

      I try to get as much done the night before so that we aren’t rushed. It helps keep everyone sane in the morning!

      It’s tough to make our morning meal special because we are always rushing to get out the door. I try to make it routine as much as I can by sitting down with my daughter to eat.

      I get my little 6yr old grandson off to school here each morning after his mom drops him off at 6:30 at which time he goes back to sleep on the couch until i get him up for school and with him still being very sleepy he gets a bit grouchy so i try to make his morning enjoyable by not rushing him to get ready and he loves his stuffed animals espeacailly Ernie from Sesame Street so I pretend to be Ernies Voice and wake him up by Ernie , which he loves. Life is too short to be in a rush & miss those precious moments with the young children to hear a giggle or joke that you can’t go back in time to get because you are in a rush for a bell to ring at school or a apt to get to in a speeding car, go slowly and enjoy the times that count.

      I make my kids breakfast every morning…something my mom didn’t always do for me. while they eat, i clean the kitchen, whcih is right next to where they eat. that way I can spend time with them while doing dishes.

      We always put on some music while we are in our morning mode. Usually a children’s themed CD. It relaxes everyone and gives them something to focus on.

      We like to have a “freeze” moment where we stop what we are doing and give our daughter a hug and a kiss. The morning gets so hectic I think it is important.

      I make our morning routine special by always having a special treat for them when they first wake up. It might be something as small a note with a smile, or a special breakfast, but it is always something. Life is too short not to make things special everyday.

      It’s mostly just that I talk to them quite a bit. I love the morning because they have amazing ideas for where the day will take them and really vivid dreams to tell me about.

      We try to do as much as we can the night before – getting backpacks ready and by the door, picking out clothes, setting table for breakfast. That way we aren’t rushed in the morning, which tends to make us all crabby! This way we enjoy each other much more!

      Every morning my 3 year old knocks on my bedroom door. I open it, he walks in, climbs into bed with me and we cuddle for 20 minutes before everyone has to start getting up. I think it’s my favorite time of the day to just hold my little boy!

      Dont know about special but we make it easier and less hectic by doing things at night! Like baths, get clothes out, backpacks loaded and ready!
