Cereal, anyone???

After trying to find a suitable topic to blog about, I opened my pantry and actually took a good look at the enormous amount of cereal the Johnston's have stashed in there.  The kids like certain kinds, the hubby likes certain kinds, and I (most importantly) have my favorite kind.  

I drug out all of our cereal and lined them up for a picture.  

11 boxes of cereal.  Oh my.

Logan is going through a kick of wanting to try new cereals.  Who am I to hold my child back?  The Pops are his newest cereal to try, which he does not really like.  As were the Lucky Charms his choice - I did manage to finish these since he didn't like them either.  The Cocoa Puffs were also his choice but he and Leah like them decent enough.

What I love about cereal is that it is just a good ole' universal food.  You can have it for breakfast, you can have it for a snack, you can have it for lunch or dinner.  Cereal is a tasty treat that is good anytime of the day.  Some cereal has sugar in it...some cereals, as you can tell in the picture, are a good source of Fiber.  Fiber is important.  

I have been trying to do better with my eating, which I feel like I am failing at miserably because my willpower is at a ZERO right now.  Anyways, here are my current cereal choices:

Tasty and crunchy makes me happy!

One of my favorite things about cereal, in addition to just being wonderful, is that lots of boxes have the Box Tops for Education on them!  I have an obsession with box tops and soup labels.

Box tops are the one sole reason that I will choose name brand over generic.  The money savings doesn't give me as much of a thrill as clipping off that precious box top!

So tonight - I salute you, CEREAL, for your variety of flavors, your crunchy goodness, and the way that you flavor my milk when you are all gone.
