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 10:49 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 Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
