**Full Disclosure: This is a compensated post brought to you by Mom It Forward and Honey Bunches of Oats. All opinions are my own.
I was asked to host a ‘Smile While You Shake It’ get together with 9 other bloggers – it was a lot more difficult than I expected. With over 200 bloggers in the San Antonio Facebook group, I figured it would be better for me to hand pick my guests. I sent invites to 15 ladies (so that at least 9 would attend). I got 9 ‘YES’ RSVPs but the morning of my party, 4 of them canceled because they had sick kiddos. I knew it was best that they keep their germy kids home, but I couldn’t help but be disappointed.
The other 6 bloggers showed up right on time! We had fun talking, laughing, dancing, learning about the Bunch of Beats sweepstakes and sampling the Honey Bunches of Oats varieties.
Colin wanted to be the star of my video, so I let him. (I mean, it’s way cuter when he dances!)
A few of us had difficulty getting our entries to submit at first (the boxes wouldn’t check on our phones) but after a few tries, we were able to get our videos posted to the Smile While You Shake It website.
About ‘Smile While You Shake It’:
Honey Bunches of Oats recently launched a new brand anthem – ‘Smile While You Shake It’ – to celebrate what it means to start the day off with a smile. The fun and upbeat song incorporates the cereal box and breakfast utensils as percussion instruments. It’s catchy and fun for families to make their own!

Looks like you had a blast! I don’t want to to admit it, but I don’t think I’ve ever had Honey Bunches of Oats before. I don’t eat much cereal actually now that I think about it!
I think Honey Bunches of Oats was one of 4 main food groups I ate during college! I even remember my mom shipping up boxes of homemade cookies and that cereal to me! Looks like you guys had a blast!
I’ve heard you can make Honey Bunches of Oats Crispies (like Rice Krispy Treats but made with Honey Bunches) but I haven’t tried them yet. They do sound GOOD!
What fun!! I love anything with the honey-oats combo!!
Aww! Looks like you guys had a ton of fun!
I have to admit…I have never tried Honey Bunches of Oats before.
With 4 kids we have more junk cereal then stuff that’s actually good for you.
I’ve heard its amazing so I vow in 2014 to try it! LOL!!
Sounds like a fun evening! My kids are big cereal eaters- I wonder if they would like to make a video. Sounds like fun.
That looks like a fun party!
You do not want to see me “shake it.” 😉 Glad ya’ll had fun!
So much fun! I am giggling at the shake it while you smile tag line
Oh it looks like you had FUN! I don’t think we get Honey Bunches of Oats over here – but I will be on the look out for them just in case. They look good!
I’m honestly not much of a cereal person, but my son loves this cereal. By the way, what a fun party!
Looks like a fun party! And I don’t blame you, I think I’d let my son to the shaking, too. 🙂
Love Honey Bunches of Oats. This looks like fun! Too bad so many kiddos were sick and missed out.
It looks like you had a great party! Wish I could have been there, I love Honey Bunches of Oats!
Sounds like it was a lot of fun!
I went to one of these parties, too and had a bunch of fun dancing! 🙂
Ooh, fun time! Invite me next time for sure!
Haha! This looks like a fun party.
What a fun party! I want one of those speakers. 🙂
