Limited Edition Cheerios at Target

Disclosure - free sample provided.

We love Cheerios for breakfast.  They taste great and find they are an easy meal in the morning.  It honestly is one of our go to breakfasts when we are in a rush.  What do you give your kids on busy mornings?  Cheerios is a cereal that I feel good about giving to my kids, but eating myself.  

I was really excited to find out that Target is offering a limited edition box of Cheerios.  These will not be around forever!  These are the same great Cheerios inside the box, but they come with an exclusive Justice League comic inside the box.  My 7 and 9 year old were really excited about this.  The packaging is really fun too.  It features the Justice League on the box  The back of the box has a fun cut out costume too!

I have had my eye on a professional skin care system for some time now.  I was so excited to see that these are offered by a company called Toilettree.  The best part is, they are reasonably priced too.  They are a quality product that performs well too. That is also important.  The Toilettree Professional Skin Care System retails for about $40.  

The Toiletree Professional Skin Care System is easy to use.  It comes with a number of different attachments too.  It can be used on your face or entire body.  I love this!  The attachments that are included are a pumice stone, 2 face brushes - soft and medium, and a body brush.  The pumice stone is perfect for dry feet.  It helps get rid of dead skin.  The face brushes are great to help remove impurities from the skin.  It really helped get rid of some of the dry skin patches on my face.  The body brush is great to use on things like knees, elbows, and much more.  The entire system is waterproof too.  

The Toilettree Professional Skin Care System is gentle on the skin too.  I personally love the soft brush to use a few times a week.  It really helps leave my face soft and smooth.  The system is available in a variety of fun colors too.  I received the purple, but you can choose from a number of other colors.  The product is available directly from the Toilettree website.  It can also be purchased from Amazon, Brookstone, and Frontgate.

Monster Jam World Finals Las Vegas - Review #MonsterJam #MJWorldFinals

Disclosure - free sample provided.

The Monster Jam World Finals comes to the Vegas area every year.  I have heard about how much fun this is to go to, but had never gone.  My family and I were given the opportunity to this year.  We were all really excited.  The Monster Jam World Finals is a huge event held at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas.  They offer a variety of different events.  They have 2 different tracks that you can watch the trucks on.  Each event is on a different day.  The first day was racing, and the second day was freestyle.  They also have a pit party.  I just want to say that this is so much fun.  It is great for kids too.  Have you ever gone to see Monster Jam?   We were truly impressed with our experience.  We had so much fun.  I would truly recommend checking out Monster Jam when it comes to your area.  My kids are now huge Monster Jam fans!  They are already talking about how they want to go back next year.  My husband and I loved it too. 

Monster Jam Race 3/21

The first day we went to the Monster Jam World Finals was on the 21st.  This was when the trucks race on a specially designed dirt track.  It was amazing to watch.  The event consists of 2 trucks going out on the track at a time.  It truly amazes me to watch these insanely large trucks jump and race.  I honestly have never seen anything like it.  This is not just a show.  It is way more than that.  The event was high energy.  My family and I found ourselves cheering on our favorite trucks!  

Monster Jam Freestyle 3/22

The second day of the Monster Jam World Finals was on the 22nd.  This was on a different track that was specially designed for this event.  This was set up differently than the first part that we went to on the previous day.  We truly enjoyed this part.  This portion of the event is where you see the trucks doing insane jumps, donuts, and more.  I could not believe how entertaining this was.  My family absolutely loved it.  This was our favorite out of the 2 days.  If you have not been to Monster Jam, then you will be astonished by what these massive trucks can do.  My jaw hit the floor when I saw trucks doing backflips.  This is something I didn't even think was possible.  My kids have their own favorite trucks now that they love.  My daughter is a huge fan of the Monster Mutt Dalmatian.  My son love Max D.  Do you have a Monster Jam favorite truck?  I love Scooby Doo, the Avenger, oh and I can't forget the Hot Wheels truck!

Pit Party

We were also given the opportunity to attend the pit party for Monster Jam.  This is really a neat way to get up and close with the trucks.  My kids and I got to get up so close that we could take pictures with them.  We had a blast.  We even had an opportunity to get autographs from the drivers.  This event ran from 11am until about 5pm.  They offer a great selection of Monster Jam merchandise to purchase too.  I truly enjoyed being able to get inside the Grave Digger truck and have my picture taken.  They also offered fun things for the kids like bounce houses and zip line rides.  

You can learn more about Monster Jam by visiting their website.  You can also find out if it is going to be in your area too!  This truly is a fun event and I know my kids will never forget it.  Please let me know if you end up going, and tell me what you think!
