Legoland is collaborating with some great organizations this weekend!

 

I shared last year about a special weekend at Legoland.

The discounted weekend will take place on Saturday, May 3rd and 4th, starting at 1 p.m. Specially-priced $25 LEGOLAND tickets include admission, with Park hours extended to 8 p.m. SEA LIFE® Aquarium tickets are also available at a discounted rate of $8 each.

Quaker Breakfast Shake – Don’t Skip Breakfast

Capture

 

This post was created in partnership with Quaker. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

 

I’m up early and out the door about 6:30 AM and as a teacher, I need my energy but don’t really have time to eat a breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Breakfast is a great way to give the body the refueling it needs. I try to get my kids to eat something before they leave, which can also be a struggle.  Kids who eat breakfast tend to eat healthier overall and are more likely to participate in physical activities — two great ways to help maintain a healthy weight.

Skipping breakfast can make kids feel tired, restless, or irritable. In the morning, their bodies need to refuel for the day ahead after going without food for 8 to 12 hours during sleep. Their mood and energy can drop by mid-morning if they don’t eat at least a small morning meal.  I think even a liquid breakfast item is helpful, yogurt smoothie or a shake.

Quaker Oats has a new grab and go breakfast shake. This is the best tasting ready-to-drink shake that I’ve tasted.  It comes in three flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla. It truly is a toss up between which flavor I preferred, probably the strawberry but maybe chocolate.   Each bottle contains 8 grams of whole grain oats, 10 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber and 200 calories.  Click the link for a discount coupon so you can also try out these delicious shakes.

Flashback Film Fun on Netflix

In honor of all the #WBW #TBT and #FBF in social media land, I’ve chosen three films that are strong visual and visceral depictions of their era and full of laughs to boot!  All of these movies are streaming on Netflix and can been found by clicking on the title hyperlinks. I am sure you probably have some of your own retro-favorites.

The Bad News Bears

The Bad News Bears, unlike a lot of movies I loved as a kid, actually has withstood the test of time — it is hilarious.  The remake is also available to stream, but our house recommends the original, complete with bowl haircuts.

Pretty In Pink

John Hughes wrote many classic films in the 80s and 90s. The Breakfast Club, Summer Rental and Home Alone are some other great films. However, only one was inspired by a classic 80s new wave song with a really good story and fantastic 80s haircuts.  I remember Molly Ringwald telling a reporter how she was able to take home all of the clothes that her character made in this movie!

The Great Outdoors

One of the best movies to come out of the 80’s. It’s an awesome comedy with Aykroyd and Candy at the helm. The chemistry of the cast couldn’t be better. John Candy made a few buddy movies during his career, but this is the only buddy/family comedy he made.  Who can’t related to crazy vacations with other families and the wonderful memories made? This film encapsulates that experience well.
