Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children’s diets.<br /><br />Other cereal benefits: <ul><li>Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children’s diets.</li><br /><li>Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child’s diet today.</li><br /><li>More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.</li></ul>Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.<br /><br />For more information about kids and cereals, please visit <a href="http://www.generalmills.com/corporate/health_wellness/cereal_health.aspx" target="_blank">Cereal Health and Wellness</a>.<br /><br />Right now if you visit <a href="http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qljheit24889505&bt=wi&o=60627&ci=1&c=GM&p=NY8LmWB2" target="_blank">here</a> you will find a $1 off coupon for one of four General Mills cereals.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" ><u>*All information and cereal coupons were provided by General Mills through MyBlogSpark</u></span><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table>parkersmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01764590981562736003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076271279108852182.post-51222616969944469812009-11-24T10:22:00.000-08:002009-11-24T10:34:48.307-08:00Happy Birthday William Parker<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">3 years later</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6JPDPdYCa56bvtvMu7UqKQWQH_MK60Qzr_pQAzNngOtiyQN-FCMrEvh4_JmrD4gkF6gm_w24PFUNWwo-yNbDUF84tlehtGdEZCwxFWuYMpsPg9oDDR8NsXfmHi4ntRxAKEo_RueYO1w8/s1600/tracie086.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6JPDPdYCa56bvtvMu7UqKQWQH_MK60Qzr_pQAzNngOtiyQN-FCMrEvh4_JmrD4gkF6gm_w24PFUNWwo-yNbDUF84tlehtGdEZCwxFWuYMpsPg9oDDR8NsXfmHi4ntRxAKEo_RueYO1w8/s320/tracie086.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407738900053942274" border="0" /> </a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >11/24/06</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">And he is still sleeping the same way...</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5OG9i5aH08mbuxS7PbvkYo5blpaq8WLXWpxeOQhszPZB3a3hI8K6s8Szis_gOb5QgxinRFRMTRZq3z5CCN21z17zwJMk2RZRWnWg5MJcr0MX6LwhDTX8isw0NJKpr6gVLySL0TzTK-U4/s1600/DSCN0642.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5OG9i5aH08mbuxS7PbvkYo5blpaq8WLXWpxeOQhszPZB3a3hI8K6s8Szis_gOb5QgxinRFRMTRZq3z5CCN21z17zwJMk2RZRWnWg5MJcr0MX6LwhDTX8isw0NJKpr6gVLySL0TzTK-U4/s320/DSCN0642.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407738905813178194" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >11/24/09</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">My sweet baby is three today.

We are just in the very most beginning stages of our journey. A journey which we know will be long, full of joy, full of heartache, and full of trying to raise the funds. I started this website in hopes of helping to have money to add to our adoption fund.</span>"</span>parkersmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01764590981562736003noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076271279108852182.post-70585040624183603202009-11-09T07:21:00.000-08:002009-11-09T07:25:45.328-08:00Merry Christmas<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Just in case ya'll didn't have enough to think about right now, we're coming up on 45 days and counting! :) I've already been looking at Black Friday (which happens to be my birthday this year!) ads and planning out how to finish the last of my shopping.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><center><embed src="http://www.criticallayouts.com/Generators/cd-christmas/show.swf?clickURL=http://www.criticallayouts.com/&clickLABEL=MySpace-Countdowns&flashLABEL=CriticalLayouts&skin=http://www.criticallayouts.com/Generators/cd-christmas/skins/4.jpg&text=%0D%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20MERRY%0D%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20CHRISTMAS%0D&untilColor=6724095&textColor=0&datesColor=0&year=2009&month=11&day=25&hour=0&minute=0&second=0&x=8&y=71" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="countdown" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="300" align="middle" height="200"></embed><br /><small><a href="http://www.criticallayouts.com/">MySpace-Countdowns</a></small></center></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I'm putting this at the bottom of the blog in case anyone needs a quick reference. </span>parkersmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01764590981562736003noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076271279108852182.post-44682583829368926362009-11-09T07:03:00.000-08:002009-11-09T07:04:45.048-08:00Whoa Momma!<h2 style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size:100%;">I came across some cool facts about Moms today and thought I'd share.</span></h2><br /><br /><br /><h2 style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><span style="font-size:130%;">Surprising Numbers:</span></h2> <p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"><strong>82.5 million</strong> of moms in the U.S. -<strong> 2 Billion</strong> moms throughout the world.</p><strong style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">4.3</strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> Babies born each second! </span><br /><br /><strong style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">82%</strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"> of women aged 40-44 years old who are mothers.
