Lindsay's Tea Party

Honey Bunches of Oats Review & Giveaway!

Did you know it was just National Cereal Day?! I’ve been reading about how Millennials aren’t consuming as much cereal as their older generations did? How can this be when there are such yummy cereals out like Honey Bunches of Oats by Post?! Over at Lindsay’s Tea Party we definitely keep our cabinets stocked with cereals for all to enjoy! 

Truthfully, here at LTP, this is one of my favorite cereals. It is sweet, it is crunchy, it has bunches of oats and a yummy honey flavor!

Here’s how Honey Bunches of Oats came about: 

In 1986, Post employee Vernon J. Herzing began mixing together various Post cereals to create new ones, with his daughter Kimberly assisting as the official taste-tester. He was always searching for that perfect blend – the one that would light up his daughter’s eyes. And it was on a Saturday in 1989 when Kimberly took a bite of her father’s latest creation that Vern knew he had something special. That was the day Vern created Honey Bunches of Oats.

The foundation that Vern laid – one of always being fully committed to everything we do – is present to this day. It’s mixed right into our work culture. From the passion we feel every day as we walk through the doors of Building 29 (where Honey Bunches of Oats is made), to the joy of smelling and sampling fresh, warm bunches of granola as they come out of the ovens, to the pride of seeing our work actually sitting on grocery store shelves. Individually and collectively, all of us at Honey Bunches of Oats are dedicated to making the world a little more delicious. 

Now we wanted to give 3 lucky LTP readers the chance to try these yummy cereals for themselves! Enter our rafflecopter contest below!

Lindsay’s Tea Party knows how busy us Mom’s can be! Always on the go, multitasking and trying to find ways to keep up with our increasingly busy families! In the back of our minds, we all wish we could be stylish and current, but without sacrificing comfort for the many activities we must attend throughout each day (soccer fields, baseball fields, dance studios and more)! I’ve been known to be totally overdressed at the football fields.. 🙂
Recently, I was sent a cute outfit from Lara Freeman over at LuLaRoe! This is an adorable line that is just perfect for us busy “momsonthego”!
Lularue pics 010
LuLaRoe exists to provide an opportunity for people to create freedom by selling comfortable, affordable, stylish clothing, and offering its consultants the independence to set their own pace and schedule. This creates the time to spend with those closest to them, the very thing DeAnne (founder) had once desired for herself!
Lularoe
DeAnne met a pair of dress wholesalers and was inspired to start liquidating end of season dresses to friends and family. The wholesalers heard her pitch and saw in DeAnne the talent and drive to make her dreams a reality. They believed in her. This was born out of DeAnne’s desire to be at home with her children and the faith that others showed in her.
Or you can email her direct at lularoelarafreeman@gmail.com and tell her LTP sent you!
Now it’s a chance for a lucky LTP reader to win an outfit! Yep, just enter the rafflecopter contest to be considered and one reader will be chosen at random to receive a specially chosen LuLaRoe outfit!

The Brew Story and visit on Facebook!

Owl’s Brew was founded by tea-drinking boozers (always in moderation).

We were looking for a sipper that was lighter, fresher, funner.We were tired of our go-to vodka cran. While an easy bar-call, there was too much sugar, and a serious lack of hydration. We tried the old fashioned cocktails: Manhattan, Negroni, Tom Collins.  While we felt very “Mad Men” ordering, one clunky cocktail was plenty and we’re round two kind of gals…

It didn’t take us long to think of a product that offered endless flavors, that was light and fresh – our favorite non-boozy sipper –  tea!

Our first brew was simple – we switched out cranberry juice for cranberry tisane…our second step was to sub rooibos for sweet vermouth… yum.  Steps 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 were not quite as simple, but we won’t bore you with those details. If you are reading this, you are looking at the final product.

Owl’s Brew is a tea crafted for cocktails and our favorite way to Drink Wise. Now it’s your turn to try these yummy drinks!
