I definitely want to make these granola bars and that CloudPet..oh my goodness! That would be so perfect for us! My husband travels a lot in ministry and we really want my daughter to be connected and this would be so cute! Thanks for sharing about it. I can't wait to see if they have arrived at our Wal-Mart!
My son has been begging for a CloudPets Puppy, but I couldn't think of a good reason to get one until recently I found out I'm going to be on a work trip soon and this would be perfect to tell him that I miss him! [client]
I've seen the CloudPet commercials, and I was wondering if they really worked. We lived quite a ways from my parents, and I'm sure my son would have loved that. But not we are staying in their house, so now it's not so vital! lol! I love homemade granola bars. There are so much better than the prepackaged stuff. 🙂
Those Cloud Pets are adorable!! Love this recipe!!
