What Makes You Great? Plus a Giveaway #GreatGrains

August 15, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 37 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Post Great Grains Cereal for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hi Everyone,

Today my post is a little different than normal.  I usually post a recipe, but today I thought we could discuss why you are so great?  Don’t be shy, you know you’re a great person. In all actuality this is kind of hard for me to write, since I am not modest and I’m kind of shy when it comes to compliments.  But I thought I would give this a try.

Well what makes me great?  I don’t think I’m great, but I think I am a true and genuine person.  I try my hardest to be the best person that I can be.  I hold the door open for strangers, I always say thank you, I appreciate the small things that people do for me and above all I try to make people happy.  How do I do that?  By showing appreciation and gratitude!   Other small things that I do is smile, share a joke, try to cheer people up and my biggest thing I do to let someone know I care is bake or cook for them.  Does this stuff make me great?  Maybe?  But to me, this is life and this is who I am.

Great Grains Cereal


I teamed up with Post Great Grains Cereal to show why we are great.  They did a survey with a 1000 woman 40 and up about why they are great.  Here are some of the results.  I think these are remarkable.

  • 73 percent of women have reinvented themselves after turning 40.  In fact, 80 percent of women love themselves more now than they did 10 years ago, according to a survey by Wakefield Research for Post Great Grains Cereal.

  • As for those “learning experiences” along the way? Maybe they weren’t so bad after all.  86 percent of women agreed that their mistakes that led to failures were worth the learning experience

  • While it’s important for women to surround themselves with people who will boost them up, that boost doesn’t always have to come from friends and family.  When they need a good laugh, 59 percent of women would turn to their significant other.

Great Grains Cereal

While making my post I also did a little sampling of Post Great Grains Cereal.  They have 8 varieties of cereal.

  • Great Grains Digestive Blend Berry Medley
  • Great Grains Digestive Blend Vanilla Graham,
  • Great Grains Protein Blend Honey, Oats and Seeds
  • Great Grains Protein Blend Cinnamon Crunch
  • Great Grains Cranbery Almond Crunch
  • Great Grains Crunchy Pecans
  • Great Grains Raisins Dates & Pecans
  • Great Grains Banana Crunch Nut

I didn’t get to test them all but I did try a few, like the Digestive Blend Vanilla Graham, Protein Blend Honey, Oats and Seed and Cranberry Almond Crunch. I have to say, I thought the vanilla one would be my favorite, but you know what I fell in love with the Honey, Oats and Seeds.  It tastes like it is homemade. The wheat flakes and clusters taste like they are toasted and there are little almond slices and pumpkin seeds.  I love it on my yogurt or just grabbing a handful.

Great Grains Cereal

I am pretty happy with the variety of Post Great Grains Cereal, especially the Digestive and Protein Blends.  they are full of 5 – 6 grams of fiber, 8 grams of protein and contain whole grains that help support a healthy metabolism.  Score!!  Anything to whip up that metabolism.  🙂

One last thing I wanted to share with you is this video from Great Grains, which is woman sharing why they are great!  I love it and I think you will too!

You can also check out Great Grains on Facebook.

Great Grains not only sent me 8 boxes of yummy, good for you cereal, but they are also letting me give 8 boxes to one of my readers!

To win all you have to do is tell me why you are so great

Have a fantastic day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I’m great because of the love of family and pets, the lessons my parents and educators taught me, and the life lessons I learned traveling in the Air Force for 17 years.

    I am great thanks to my family and friends. Without them I wouldn’t be where or who I am.
    Love my cereals!! : )

    What makes me great is the love I show for my kids, rescuing stray animals, and teaching kindergarten

    I am great because, I try to always be positive, and look at the bright side. Whether it is a situation, or people you have to see the good in things. I go to work with a smile every morning, and spread it to those I work with. I learned from my Mother, and Grandmother whom I recently lost at 94, that you have to live each day to it’s fullest. I have always said I hope to be as feisty as my Granny was when I reach her age.

  6. Angie Jerde says

    August 15, 2014 at 6:05 AM

    My greatness is due to the wonderful people I am surrounded with and family, especially my mother who recently passed away <3

    I feel great remembering the military service both my husband and I provided. Before retirement, we lived in so many different locations. Currently, I feel great about the community service volunteering that I’ve been doing.

    I’m great cuz I have been up for an hour and I have made breakfast and lunch for 3 people. I love to cook and share it with everyone! And to make sure everyone I love is healthy and taken care of!

  9. Susan Christy says

    August 15, 2014 at 6:36 AM

    I have such a hard time saying good things about myself, so maybe what makes me great is how humble I am. That and generous with friends and family and those in need.

  10. Jeffrey says

    August 15, 2014 at 6:49 AM

    I have encouraged my family to be exercise to be fit and eat right to stay healthy. We did a marathon relay earlier this year that included myself, my wife, two sons and my 70 year old dad. My dad probably trained the hardest, walking up to five miles a day while losing over 25 lbs.!

  11. Alice F. says

    August 15, 2014 at 8:56 AM

    I am great because I practice everyday the basic tenet of doing onto others as I would have then to do onto me. Basically, everyday I try to treat others the way I want to be treated. Am I successful 100% of the time? No, but I try everyday to be a little bit better than the day before.

  12. Kristen says

    August 15, 2014 at 9:41 AM

    I’m great because I’m incredibly loyal- I’ll always be there for my friends and family!

  13. Katie says

    August 15, 2014 at 10:17 AM

  14. Penny Porter says

    August 15, 2014 at 10:49 AM

    The first thing I want to say. I love this post. This is harder than I thought. I know I’m considerate, positive, and kind, I show people I love them by making them their favorite meal. I like helping others. But really does that make me Great. I just look at it as being a good person. That makes me feel good. Thanks for opening our eyes.

    August 18, 2014 at 9:27 PM

    I am no where near perfect, but I try to treat everyone , without respect of how much or how little money they have the same, I am a natural caregiver, It satisfies me more than anything to know I have helped someone, it’s my calling in life, my friends and family say I do too much, but I feel I can’t do enough… it truly blesses my soul to give , time money small gifts, or just talking to someone who may be down at the time, anyway thats me!

  32. Alaine says

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?
