I was a little MIA on the blog last week. We decided to skip school and up and run to the Oregon coast for the weekend. While we were there, we actually experienced a glorious miracle. The sun was out! It’s called the Oregon coast and not the Oregon beach for a reason, so having the sun out and feeling actual heat was a rare moment to be enjoyed, documented and shared with one and all. That never happens! (Even in it’s normal rainy/foggy/windy-ness, the Oregon coast rules and you should all come visit!)

We did some sand castle building, visited tide pools and saw thousands of seals and sea lions. And we ate. Ohhhhh, we ate.

Quaker is sponsoring some conversations here on our blog (which helps pays the fees for our freebies, bless you Quaker cause hosting is expensive!) and they wanted me to try out their new Quaker perfect portions-

I can honestly say, this kind of rules at breakfast time. Not only is it great and healthy and all that, but it comes in a resealable bag so you can eat as much or as little as you want. Love that! It saved us big time on our trip and kept little bellies full all morning.

Every day is an adventure and with Quaker® Perfect Portions I know I am providing my family with the fuel they need for their epic adventures.

We are so thankful for Quaker for working with us. They help keep our freebies free for you all!
