Target Breakfast Twist #PlatefullCoOp #Spon

I have always wanted to be one of those moms who wakes up early, has a few minutes alone, then has time to fix her family a hearty, home cooked breakfast before sending everyone out the door for the day. Reality is, we usually wake up with just enough time to get our teeth brushed, get dressed, then gobble down a quick breakfast before rushing out the door. I insist that everyone eats before leaving each morning, but some mornings can get stressed when still sleepy kids can't make a decision on what exactly they want to eat. As much as my kids love cereal, they do get burnt out on eating it every day. I need to come up with quick, yet creative recipes that are tasty and will get bellies full in the short time we have. Target knows that busy family mornings are on the rise, so they want to invite you to view the Target Breakfast Twist where you will be able to find quick breakfast ideas, and recipes that can be tossed together in as little as 2 minutes!
 

Target carries a large assortment of products that will fill your morning with nutritious, flavorful, and quick to prepare breakfasts. Whip up some fruity parfaits, yogurt granola, or caramel nut oatmeal with products from Quaker, Jif, and Nature Valley that will have your family saying "YUM!"

I was sent an assortment of products to help make our mornings go a little smoother. 

I try to encourage my kids to have a little fruit at breakfast, and by simply making a peanut butter chocolate dipping cup by using Jif Cream Peanut Butter and Nutella Spreads, they have no problem reaching for the apple slices!

Or pop a little Jif on some banana slices, add a dollop of whip cream and a cherry for some fun banana bites!

Some mornings it can't be avoided, and we have to grab breakfast on the go to eat in the car. I like to have little bags of trail mix already tossed together in the pantry to take on the way out the door. I like to use Nature Valley Granola, mini chocolate chips, and a dried fruit like cranberries or raisins.

Doll Finds In Target $1 Spot

I have always loved Target, but it was a happy, happy day when they put in the dollar spot section. I find myself at Target much more now, simply to browse the dollar items. On my latest Target shopping trip I found some cheap items that would make excellent props for my daughter's American Girl dolls.

I found this metal mailbox that I thought would be cute for the dolls if I dressed it up with a stand. I went to Michael's and bought the wood pieces, painted them up, and for less than $3, a new mailbox was created.

They also had these cute wooden buckets in assorted colors. I thought they would make great picnic baskets for the dolls!

And these lip balms in the shape of Pepsi and Mountain Dew are the perfect size for the doll hands, as are the food shaped erasers.

If your girls play with American Girl Dolls, then you know how expensive the accessories can be. You can save a lot of money buying accessories for the dolls in Target's dollar spot!

Have you found anything great in the dollar section lately?
