My "Happy Things" List Includes Breyers
Do you ever stop and make a mental list of things that make you happy?
I do. Seriously. When I'm having a super-crappy day, I try to force myself to stop wallowing for a minute and list My Happy Things. All sorts of random things are usually on that list. There's the kid, chocolate, the way Penny's fur flops around when she runs, peanut butter, Max purring, cookies, sporks, sprinkles, flowers, ice cream, frogs in my pond, food . . . hey! Did I mention that food makes me happy? Especially dessert?
You know what makes me even happier? When I get to combine things that are on my Happy Things list. Give me chocolate and peanut butter and time with my kid and you've just made me the happiest human on earth.
Hello there, sexy!
You guys. YOU GUYS. Breyers and BlogHer asked me to review Breyers Blasts!® Chocolate REESE’S®. You can add THAT to My Happy Things list. Getting asked to review Breyers Blasts! is definitely one of My Happy Things.
A few weeks ago there was an evening when I didn't get home until it was almost time for Alexis to go to bed. I called when I was on my way home and told her that we would have some Breyers Blasts! together as soon as I walked in the door. I try to make it a point to spend a little time every day having a one-on-one conversation with her. Gathered at the kitchen table with a treat is an excellent way to get the conversation started.
She made herself a bowl and I made myself a milkshake. I kind of have a thing for chocolate/peanut butter milkshakes, by the way. That "thing" is that OMG I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
We sat at the table talking about what we each did that day. Alexis talked about the things she had learned in school, she shared a funny story her bus driver had told her, and she told me about how she wanted to spend the weekend. It was nothing particularly exciting, but it was perfect. Everything about those moments was perfect.
Until Alexis finished her bowl.
Fortunately, we had some Breyers Blasts!® OREO® Birthday Blast! to try as well.
(Cake batter flavor + OREO cookies + sprinkles = YES. PLEASE.)
My Happy List is made up of things that may not seem significant, but thinking about sitting at our kitchen table sharing Breyers Blasts! while Alexis tells me about her day is one of those memories I'm going to hold in my heart forever.

We would love to have Breyers Blasts with my nephews. They come over for sleepovers and they would love these as a treat with a movie.

I believe that it is the little things in life that often bring the most enjoyment and ice cream is definately one of them and that Reeses Peanut Butter Cup look so incredible!

After working all day and driving home with no air conditioning in my car, during rush hour, and almost an hour long , I would put my feel up and enjoy a cooling bowl of ice cream.
My son is ten months old, and every time he gets the taste of ice cream he goes on a rampage of cuteness, he makes this priceless face and starts kicking his feet everywhere, he also likes to make a mess by putting his hands in mommy's ice cream lol! i guess i would enjoy watching my sons face light up and he would enjoy watching mommy clean up the mess. quality time!

Breyers Blasts would be the perfect dessert for my family. We love Breyers ice cream. Ice cream goes with most everything, from cookies, cakes, brownies, to even pies. Breyers Blast looks so delicious and the perfect combination. I haven't seen it in my store yet, but now I will be looking for it on my next trip to the supermarket.

We would enjoy it by sharing it together sitting on the porch.

We would sit outside on the patio after dinner and eat our Breyer's Blasts. The weather has been really warm here.
