Delightful Discoveries (Free Quaker Oatmeal Squares + $75 Giveaway)

Feb22

Leap Year image Delightful Discoveries (Free Quaker Oatmeal Squares + $75 Giveaway)

Imagine my surprise when a friend pointed out that this year was an official Leap Year. Yes, February 29th only comes around every four years, and 2012 marks one of these special landmarks dates, especially if you are one of those that is a Leap Year baby.

February 29 really needs to be celebrated as a national holiday. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could truly have one additional, yet responsibility free day added to our calendar for no real reason?

One day where no schedule, no wake up time, no work, no meal planning, no deadlines interferes with our dream day?
Oh my, I shouldn’t do this to myself, but we can certainly dream, can’t we? I feel like I do get these kinds of days every once in awhile. If my birthday falls on a weekend, my husband makes sure that this becomes reality. I spend a week savoring the anticipation of what to do. I brainstorm painting projects and thrift store expeditions, yet typically; I end up snuggled in bed with a great cup of coffee and some historical fiction, and I read for most of the day.

I can’t determine if that is deliciously delightful or incredibly boring. Yet, it surely relaxes me, and if I get breakfast in bed, even better. This year though, I’m trying something new, but my breakfast will be easy.

Breakfast around here can be a chaotic time. I wish I could claim that all five of our children rise, and have a perfectly calm breakfast every morning, but that would just be a big lie. One thing I know though is that when Quaker Oatmeal Squares are in the house, you better snag a bowl quickly because they are gone before I pour my coffee.

Quaker believes breakfast should serve as a time for busy moms to break out of the typical routine; it can also be a delightful discovery. For Leap Day, Quaker is celebrating with the launch of a new flavor of Quaker Oatmeal Squares, Honey Nut Crunch. Along with the other well-known flavors, including Brown Sugar, Cinnamon and Golden Maple, the new addition of Honey Nut will add the necessary sweetness to your morning with the same healthy benefits that fuel your day.

I’m joining with Quaker’s fun campaign to celebrate an extra day on the calendar to try something new.

They want everyone to celebrate with them, so try the new Honey Nut variety for yourself. Don’t take my word on it. If you visit Quaker Oatmeal Squares Facebook page and like it, you’ll receive a free sample box for yourself.

Then one fortunate winner will win the full line of Quaker Oats Squares (my kids LOVE them), and an additional $75 Visa gift card to put towards trying something new. It’s all in the spirit of Delightful new Discoveries.

  93. I am already a blog subscriber via Google Reader! Thanks for the great posts!

  94. Joy says:

    I would use the day to pay it forward and do lots of random acts of kindness. I think we all get caught up in our normal “everyday” routine that we sometimes forget to do this except during the major holidays.

  95. Tammy T. says:

    I would love to hang out with all my kids, maybe go to the movies and then play some board games and get a pedicure. Oh, and take a nap.

I am busier now babysitting grandchildren, stocking my freezer w/meals for sharing & church activities. My guilty pleasure is reading…so if I had a day to myself, I would have a day of guilt-free reading!

    I’d like to think I’d rest and relax but in all honesty I would most likely just spend as I do any other day- keeping the house in order, taking care of my kids and loving my husband. However if I could do anything I wanted to, I would catch up on my blog, read, go for a walk to the coffee shop and SLEEP until I was no longer tired! (can you tell I’m the mom of a newborn?)

  151. Susan says:

    I am an e-mail subscriber. What I would do with an extra day would depend on the time of year and where I was living, and the weather. Currently being the end of February and in the north where it is cold and dreary, I would snuggle under a quilt with a good book or two. If the sun were shining and it was above freezing, I would probably add a nice walk outside.

  152. Michele Laramay says:

    If I had an extra day, I would spend it with my honey…just us…a day away together. :-)

  153. Janet says:

    I would spend the day with my kids, as they are becoming teens it seems like we don’t get enough time together. Maybe go shopping and out to lunch!

    LOVE your blog!! Read it everyday. I would piddle myself to death around the house doing little things that I don’t normally have time to do which would include a lot of reading, relaxing, deep cleaning; may even mow the grass and prune some flowers. Working in the yard is therapy for me!!

    I usually only read your emails. However, this post prompted me to come to your website. I am very impressed. I would spend an extra day with my whole family as we rarely get to see each other all at the same time. We have family scattered from Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, North and South Carolina and Haiti. We would gather at ‘Fat Boys’ for breakfast, take a long hike along one of the many trails at Bok Tower, have a leisurely lunch catered by someone else on the grounds, then have a family picture taken on the grounds as well. An afternoon respite would follow. In the evening we would have a time of sharing, games and a good movie while the older folks retired for the evening. After the stars came out, we would roast marshmallows over a bonfire overlooking the small pond of which our inherited property surrounds. Family is the key to an extra day. LEAP!
