Oh my goodness, y’all.

It’s summer.

Like, officially. It’s time for barbeques and potlucks and S’mores and Rice Krispies treats. Or S’mores Rice Krispies Treats.

It’s SUMMER.

It caught me by total surprise, like I forgot it existed. Last week, on Monday and Tuesday, it was gorgeous here, short sleeve weather and I was taking my ducklings on walks to the creek. Then on Thursday, some cold front moved in, we went to a farmers market for dinner, and froze our behinds off. The market was held right beside the town swimming pool, and Seven asked if it was open, since there were people up there working. I thought the child had lost his gourd. The pool? Open? Gahhh, no. It’s winter.

But it’s not. The pool IS open.

Luckily, that cold snap has passed and the weather is now a balmy 77. Still a bit chilly for a dip if you ask me, but it won’t be for long. Soon, we will once again scout out our section of the pool loungers, and bask for hours on end, and I will be the tannest me I can be. I will also be the mom at the pool with the snacks.

I’ll be honest…I am not the mom with the bag that has all the everythings. Yes, I forget floaties, lip balm. Towels for everyone. But I do always have snacks. And the one thing I have found that makes the cut all the time is cereal. Baggies of cereal make the perfect pool snack, because hello? Everyone loves it, it doesn’t go bad if you keep it sealed, you can mix it with dozens of different things, like nuts or dried fruits. And it’s not just great for pool trips – it’s great in the car for road trips as well.

But sometimes, I am a COOL MOM.

Sometimes. For example, like when I made these S’mores Rice Krispies Treats Cereal Pops.

I created these goodies for Kellogg’s and Wal-Mart, to help inspire my mom and dad friends to get a little creative with cereal to make the most of this summer. So simple, but they are incredibly festive, and the kids adore them. They are great as is, but package them up in individual wrappers and you have such a fun party favor or end-of-school gift for classmates. Keep them in a cooler, and take them to the pool if you like…but be warned, you’ll have a gaggle of chocolate loving 8-year olds worshipping you, and I doubt it will be that glorious tan of yours. Enjoy!
