What are your memories of General Mills Cereal?
*Disclosure - Information and samples of this cereal were provided to me for review purposes from General Mills. *
Being fortunate enough to grow up in a home where Mother (my Aunt) prepared a hot breakfast of bacon & eggs OR pancakes & sausage OR oatmeal & ham, cold cereal was a rare TREAT for us. On those special occasions we always had 1/2 cheerios 1/2 lucky charms (my aunt always pre-mixed the two and stored it in a large canister).
ReplyDeleteI consider myself so very blessed to be carrying on my aunt's example. Being a stay-at-home wife and home school mom affords me the privilege of cooking a hot breakfast for my family most days. Cold cereal is a special treat for our kiddos, just as it was for me.
Blessings,
