This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own. Fall is officially here and it's so fun sharing the excitement of one of our favorite seasons with our family now that we've moved back to the Midwest. Lily was little when we moved to Atlanta four years ago and Landon has never experienced the cooler temperatures, it's been great seeing and hearing them ooh and ahh over what they are seeing and hearing outside.
Fall seems to be a magical time, watching the leaves change color and it actually reminded me of my own childhood. As a kid, I remember my family and I would travel in the summer to a cabin that my Grandparents had built in a small town called Washington, Vermont. This cabin was such a blessing to my Mom, her brother and my cousins who all enjoyed a week together while staying up late, playing scrabble and watching fireworks over the mountains.
Since we were in the maple capital of the United States, we'd visit a few maple syrup stores around the area who always sold the best maple syrup I had ever tasted. I loved watching the workers tap into the sap of the tree and then enjoy taste testing all the variety of syrups they would have in their store. It was always such a treat to experience as a kid.
As an adult now, I wish I could take my kids to enjoy the sweet syrup that Vermont offers but right now I'm doing the next best thing. While shopping at my local Walmart I found Maple Syrup Cheerios that I knew my kids would gobble up. These Maple Cheerios are made with real maple syrup and are also gluten free! Cheerios is a comfort food in our home and after a long day at school, activities or just needing a bit of a pick me up, these crunchy bowl of oats is one that we love to pour, eat and enjoy together.
