Send yummy gifts with Hickory Farms!

I know I've said it before, but I love when companies can ship gifts directly to the recipient. I love the companies that do this, that I trust and know that the items will arrive perfectly. Hickory Farms has been one of those companies that I've trusted for a long time now to provide great gifts, shipped directly to the friends and family that I send them to. And I'll admit, even last year I had ordered some stuff for lil' ole me, I've been a recipient as well from others too. My wonderful uncle who lives many many many states away has sent me some really great Hickory Farms sets in the past and they're always a big hit!

Recently being the recipient of the Family Gathering Gift Basket from Hickory Farms, my husband was stoked. He didn't even know it was coming so it was a nice surprise for him, as he's a cheese-a-holic. The Family Gathering Gift Basket is filled with their summer sausages, cheeses, crackers and the sweetest cheese cutting board, which will always come in handy for the future as well! I love gifts that last past the holidays!! Of course, their sweet-hot mustard is always one of my favorites, and I've added it to so much since getting the gift basket!!
Hickory Farms is so convenient to me because they accept paypal- I love that!! I usually have some money sitting in my paypal account, so its nice being able to use it instead of pulling everything from my bank account. Also, they offer FREE SHIPPING to all APO/FPO addresses, which is wonderful. Its nice to have a free shipping offer special for those who serve our country!

Being around since 1951, I love Hickory Farms and I love that I'm able to ship direct and trust the products will arrive exactly as I expect them to. I love that they set up in the mall around the holidays and I'm even able to grab some great items in person, even if it is only once a year!

Treating your body better with Kelloggs cereals!

One of the most important things that you can do for your family is give them good nutrition, but I hate sacrificing taste for vitamins and minerals. When shopping, I do my best to grab the items that are good for you, the ones with the stuff in it that you need, but sometimes I just refuse to go the healthier route. I'm stoked now I don't have to sacrifice anything with my breakfasts!! (Or my midnight snacks! I'm a habitual 1:00 am cereal eater...)

Between Froot Loops and Apple Jacks, two of my all time faves, I don't have to wonder where I'll be getting my fiber from. And the kids too! Boug loves both, she takes after me, and of course Lil' Buddy is always sneaking bites from my bowl. Its sad that 9 out of 10 kids lack fiber in their diets, but it doesn't have to be impossible to get it in there- Boug loves starting her day off with Froot Loops some days, as well as Apple Jacks other days. It's not just about the fiber though, these cereals are made with whole grains, which is better for you as well! You can head to both Kelloggs Nutrition, as well as the Kelloggs site to find out more about the healthier choices that you can make for yourself.

Believe me, I put these two to the test. I tried out both with and without fiber Apple Jacks and Froot Loops and either way, delicious as ever and no difference was tasted. No sacrifice, no subsitutes, no problems whatsoever!
