How do you start your morning? Is breakfast essential or do you skip it? What's your go-to breakfast food? Typically, when I have time, I'm an eggs kind of girl. They're easy, they're good for you, they are cheap, me and eggs are tight. But when I don't have time for eggs I love a bowl of cereal. Since Kendall was a tiny toddler she's been eating Honey Bunches of Oats like it's her job.
This weekend I had the pleasure of hosting my first, live, in home blog event. I had some of my favorite bloggers and my good ole IRL{in real life} friends come over for a Smile While You Shake It Party.
Honey Bunches of Oats, recently launched a new brand anthem "Smile While You Shake It," to celebrate what it means to start the day off with a smile. The fun and upbeat song, inspired by Samba beats, incorporates the cereal box and breakfast utensils as percussion instruments. It is catchy and fun for families to make it their own.
I was a little bit nervous to host such an event in my home. Not only was this a big deal but also my two worlds, real-life and blogging, would be colliding for the first time! Finally my IRL friends would see that my blogging friends weren't crazy, Internet stalkers and were actually all really cool girls.
I emailed all the girls beforehand letting them know we'd be filming some videos and get ready to Smile While You Shake It and I thought it was going to be really hard to get them to show their moves but everyone was more than willing to show us what they've got. Even the guys got involved. Maybe it was because they wanted to win some of the swag, or even the grand prize, $500 gift card.
It was really quite fun, if I may say so myself. I think everyone got very creative and the boys may or may not have suggested we do a "make it rain" style video and pour cereal all over each other. I knew I'd be cleaning up cereal for days so I quickly vetoed that idea however I kinda wish someone would have done it. My mother-in-law loves Honey Bunches of Oats so much that she was like a walking commercial throughout the entire party. I love her.
You can Smile While You Shake It too! Every week from now until June Honey Bunches of Oats will be giving away a $500 gift card from the pool of entrants! It's only 15 seconds for the chance to win $500! Seems like a no-brainer to me! Let me know if you do it because I'd love to see your videos! Here's mine with my little sidekick, Kendall.
