Retro Monster Cereal review

Retro Monster Cereal review

We eat a LOT of cereal! For Breakfast, snack, and even dinner sometimes. But we haven't ever tried the Retro Monster cereals that come out around Halloween until this year! When they came in the mail to review the kids couldn't wait to dig in. Unfortunately it was late after we came home from sports so I made them. The next day I packaged some up in their lunch to send for snack and it was a hit! The kids love the flavors and the marshmallows! The Count Chocula was the favorite but the BooBerry and Franken Berry roll ups were both liked equally. We have even bought them since for snacks for football and Girl Scouts to share the love!

Who says cereals don’t have prizes anymore?

Who says cereals don’t have prizes anymore?

Years ago, your choice of cereal maybe had more to do with the prize or giveaway pictured on the box than the cereal itself. Loyalty to one brand over another was sometimes fleeting, and you may have asked your mom to buy several different cereals at each trip to the store. “As a kid, many... View Full Post

The Sacred Year


About the book: 

One searcher's honest and fascinating journey to encounter God, love others, and discover his true self through a year of spiritual practices.
Frustrated and disillusioned with his life as a Christian, motivational speaker Michael Yankoski was determined to stop merely talking about living a life of faith and start experiencing it.  The result was a year dedicated to engaging in spiritual practices, both ancient and modern, in a life-altering process that continues to this day.  Whether contemplating an apple for an hour before tasting it (attentiveness), eating on $2.00 a day (simplicity) or writing simple letters of thanks (gratitude), Michael discovered a whole new depth through the intentional life.
Stirred on by the guiding voice of Father Solomon, a local monk, Yankoski's life is slowly transformed.  Both entertaining and heart-wrenching, Yankoski's story will resonate with those who wish to deepen their own committed faith as well as those who are searching --- perhaps for the first time --- for their own authentic encounter with the Divine.

Review - Great book.  Take a year, take a week, or take a month.  Get back to the basics.  Enjoy life and be grateful for all that God has done for you.  I love the reminder that this book gave me to take time to smell the roses.  Enjoy God.  Be happy and be grateful for everything.
