BzzAgent : There Are Bees In My Mailbox???

What I found in my mailbox!

Good Day Everyone! I have something awesome to share with you all!

I checked my mailbox yesterday and to my surprise I had a big box inside, it had bumble bees on the tape it as sealed with. Finally, what I have been waiting for! My very first BzzAgent Campaign, The Quaker Back to School Campaign.

You are probably asking what is she talking about. Well I'm here to tell you. BzzAgent is a great website, it's a social media marketing company. If you are big with social media or you get excited about trying new brands and like recommending them to friends and family this is the site for you. You take surveys and BzzAgent finds campaigns that they believe are right for you. They will give you an option to join a campaign for different brands. If you accept they will send you free items or discounts from the brands. When you get the products all you do is test them out and give your honest opinions about them and spread the word. You also get a to do list. When you complete them all you get a higher BzzAgent score which means you are much more likely to receive more campaigns. Me myself, I'm a stay at home mom, so I have extra time on my hands. It's really fun to do and who doesn't like freebies!

This is what it looked like when I opened it!

Well back to that special box with bees...I got into my house and was quick to open it up to see what was inside. Inside I found a box of 14.5oz box of Quaker Oatmeal Squares cereal, 7 pack Quaker Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, Quaker Real Medleys Cherry Pistachio Multi Grain Fruit and Nut bar, Quaker Popped Rice Snacks in cheddar cheese flavor and 14 $1 off coupons for different Quaker products for myself and to share. I received all this free just for being a BzzAgent! Yes I said Free! I would have to say that's pretty cool. I can truly say I have never been so happy to find bees in my mailbox.

All these Quaker Goodies for free!

Quaker is pretty much known for oatmeal. That is the first thing I think about when I hear the brand. I grew up eating it for breakfast. Who knew they had so many more products?

I know you are all pretty curious to know what I think of them, so I will be giving you all my true and honest opinions as my family and I test them out!

Make sure to check out BzzAgent, here's the link to their site:

Shark at the GA Aquarium

It's that time of the year again! It's time for Shark Week on The Discovery channel! They are celebrating 26 years August 4! Logan & myself love watching this every year. Logan loves anything in the ocean! I find Shark Week to be a great learning experience for him. I don't recommend this for all children my oldest is 7 and will not watch it because it scares him. If I thought this for Logan I wouldn't allow him to watch it. When I was younger I always watched wildlife specials and this is Logan's wildlife special.

Logan's Excited for Shark Week!

For anyone who has never seen or heard of Shark Week, it is a week long event on the Discovery Channel with shows featuring sharks! Even includes shark attacks and stories. They have showcases of great white breaching which is such an amazing sight.

I myself love the Great White Shark. They actually have places that offer Great White Diving experiences where you can get in a cage and go under water to see them feed or for those who want to comfort of a boat you can be a top side observer! I really hope one day in my future I get to experiences this.

Great White Adventures offers this at great prices!
