Today's Pop'rs Pic features Michelle's Mr. Man, who starred in yesterday's awesome video. Thanks to everyone who entered and all who contributed photos and videos. This was the Best Pop'rs Giveaway Ever! Don't you agree?

Pop'rs to the Rescue!

Meet Mr. Man. He's a Pop'rs Fan. But before we get to him, I wanted to remind you that this is the last day to enter The Great New Pop'rs New Years Giveaway. Click Here for details. Uncle Lynn is picking Five Grand Prize Winners after the contest closes at 11:59 tonight, so you'd better get crackin'!

So, back to Mr. Man and his Pop'rs, that good-for-you seasoning that helps turn kids into healthy eaters. Mr. Man's Mom, Michelle, was one of the winners of our Great New Pop'rs Thanksgiving Extravaganza. Michelle blogs at Honest & Truly, and has some pretty up-front things to say about Pop'rs:

"We're definitely loving the Pop'rs around here," Michelle says. "They were great on my popcorn last night (I may make some Cinnamon/Butter for my husband tonight), and they're great on yogurt--Mister Man's personal favorite. We usually go through five of the eight flavors in a bowl of yogurt. He puts one (or two) on, eating the bites that have that/those flavor(s) in them and then adds more of a different flavor. Too cute!"

Mr. Man apparently has a Preferred Pop'rs flavor, as well. "Color Burst is his favorite," Michelle explains, "because it changes colors. AND because when you eat them straight from your hand, it turns your tongue blue. We love changing the color of our tongues. Gotta love being 5!"

Ever the observant Consumer Mom, Michelle has a couple of suggestions for Uncle Lynn, too.

"I would love to see the Pop'rs come in a larger size, as we're really going through these," Michelle says. "Also, for the four- and eight-packs...neither of the wee ones like spicy foods, and getting them to eat the Taco and Buffalo is a challenge (meaning it isn't happening). We may be in the minority (Mister Man won't do Butter, either), but have you thought about putting together a kid pack together with Cocoa, Color Burst and two of the fruit flavors? My husband and I will eat the Buffalo and Taco but don't 'need' the extra veggies...but it would be great to be able to get flavors just for the wee ones!"

Thanks for the suggestions, Michelle. And please thank Mr. Man for being such a Perfect Pop'rs Pal.

Kids For Pop'rs & A Great New Years Giveaway!

Hey, there, all you Pop'rs Pals! Meet Ben, who's doing an "infomercial" for the Pop'rs his Mom Tracy P. won in one of Uncle Lynn's Giveaways! Tomorrow, Five Grand Prize Winners will walk away not only with a Complete Set of Pop'rs, but also with Pop'rs Wear for the Whole Family! Check out the awesome T-shirt that Ben's showcasing in this vid.

For more info on The Great New Pop'rs New Years Giveaway, Click Here! The Giveaway closes tomorrow night at 11:59 p.m. EST. Uncle Lynn will select our Five Grand Prize Winners via Random Drawing, and I'll announce all this Bloggy Bling right here on Monday Morning!

Ben's Mom, Tracy P., runs The Journey. The "P" Family just got back from a 16-day, 3,600-mile Mega-Christmas-Trip to see the Grandparents. Check out Tracy's Vay-Cay Photos to see how much fun these folks had!

Tracy is also the one who turned on Aunt Julie and Moi to Beer Cheese Soup during Aunt Julie's *Recipe Week* in November. I have to say that we're all pretty addicted now, along with several of our Bloggy Friends!

BTW, Ben is putting Cocoa Pop'rs in a delightful-looking beverage known as Chocolate Mint Swirl. If you listen carefully, you can hear the Pop'rs "singing" in the mug. Tracy is quite the connoisseur in the kitchen. I recently tried her Mint Meltaways, which are To Die For! Would you mind sharing your secrets for Chocolate Mint Swirl, Tracy?

Remember, to enter The Great New Pop'rs New Years Giveaway, all you have to do is comment! Comment Early! Comment Often! Just Do It!

Pop'rs New Years Giveaway, Unleashed

Presenting Vicki, of Not So SAHM and Best Posts of the Week Fame, and her cute little family of Pop'rs Pals!

Vicki is a Pop'rs Veteran. She won one of Uncle Lynn's contests earlier in 2008; then, she entered our Great New Pop'rs Halloween Giveaway, and won that, too! For all her accomplishments, Vicki won not only her choice of Pop'rs, those good-for-you-seasonings that make every meal fun, but cute Pop'rs T-Shirts for the family, too!

All this by way of introducing this year's first Great New Pop'rs New Years Giveaway! This one is simple, kids, and the rewards are many:

• First off, we're picking Five Grand Prize Winners. Each winner scores a complete set of Pop'rs...All Eight Flavors! ...and T-Shirts for the family!
• All you have to do for one entry is leave a comment on my blog. The more comments, the more entries! Comment about anything...the weather, your family, my family, Pop'rs. The sky's the limit!

Easy as Pie...or, Easy as Pop'rs, if you prefer. Remember, the more comments, the merrier. So, Let's Get Poppin'!

Bloggy Bling and a Great New Pop'rs New Years Giveaway!

More Presents! Greedy Grace and Margi recently bestowed some Bloggy Bling on Veggie Mom's head, so I'd like to show some appropriate gratitude today, if you don't mind.

We're gearing up for tomorrow's start of our Great New Pop'rs New Years Giveaway, so you might detect a theme going on here. Make sure you drop by tomorrow...we have Pop'rs and T-Shirts Galore!

First off, Greedy Grace, over at Just Lisa, No Filler (don't ask why~her name is Lisa, but she goes by Greedy Grace), awarded me The Brillante Award. "Veggie Mom is a nut for these things called Pop’rs," GG, a previous Pop'rs Giveaway Winner, writes. "They’re pretty cool. Go to her site and buy some, and send her some comment love!" BTW, Veggie Mom also was one of GG's Pay It Forward Contest Winners. Can't wait to see what nifty homemade gizmo she comes up with!

As always, there are rules with this Brillante Bling:

1. Put the logo on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who awarded it to you.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Add links to these blogs on your blog.
5. Leave a message for your nominee on their blog.

So, here we go. I hereby bestow The Brillante Award on the following much-deserving folks:

1. Honest & Truly. Michelle's a Pop'rs Veteran, too. She's got a lot to say, and is really into Sharing the Comment Love!
2. Koo Koo for Cocoapuffs! Lynette was in on the ground floor of this Pop'rs Biz, as one of our first Giveaway Winners!
3. Not Your Average Soccer Mom. Brandy is in the same boat as Lynette. She's known about Pop'rs for the longest time, as one of our early Giveaway Winners.
4. Art on a Limb. Not only is Lynda a Pop'rs Giveaway Winner, but she's an artist, too. She always has something interesting to say...I stole the 50 Fabulous Facts Meme from her, too!
5. Buried With Children. Just like the blog title says, Jen is~and then some! Don't know how she does it with four boys underfoot, but this Previous Pop'rs Giveaway Winner has a lot of funny stuff to say!
6. Jeannie's Happy World. Yes, she's happy, and this Particular Pop'rs Giveaway Winner is random, too. Consider this post: People E-mail Me the Weirdest Stuff! Jeannie's having a swell contest, too, so go check it out!
7. A Day in Rhonda's Life. Rhonda, a Pop'rs Giveaway Winner and one of our Pay It Forward Winners in December, is pretty direct. Must be because she's Canadian. Bordering on blunt. Leaning toward speaking her mind, and we love her for it!

Moving right along. Margi, another one of our Canadian Cyberfriends, awarded us with this cool award. The Proprietress at Between Loads of Laundry hereby grants Veggie The Honest Scrap Award. Margi says it's her first Bloggy bit o' Bling, and I'm tickled that she would feel fit to pass it along to moi. AnyWho, the rules are as follows:

1. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
2. Show the 7 winners' names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Scrap.” Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon.
3. List at least ten honest things about yourself.

So happy to learn that at least one person in the Blogosphere thinks I'm brilliant! And I'm gonna pass this award on to seven more who are just as brilliant as I!

1. Boys Will B Boys. Rachael's got three young hombres at home (four, if you count Hubby!). One of her guys is going off to college next year, but says he's already learned how to make a Collegiate Mess of his room. She's a recent Pop'rs Giveaway Winner, and we can't wait to hear what she has to say!
2. Katydid and Kid. What can I say? I simply love the name of this gal's blog! This Previous Pop'rs Giveaway Winner also has a New Year's Giveaway goin' on, so do stop by!
3. Mommy from the Midwest. OK, Midwest Mommy is a Chicago Bears fan, and all, but we still love this Pop'rs Giveaway Winner's sense of humor. Who says Bears and Packers fans can't be friends?
4. My Dogumentary. This Past Pop'rs Winner has doggies on the brain. Well, so does Aunt Julie. Who can blame them~their critters are awfully cute!
5. Fractured Toy. What can I say? Mannequin has been with us almost since the start of this endeavor. Not only did she win a Pop'rs Giveway last summer, but she's a tireless Bloggy Friend and Supporter. Please drop by and read her Inspirational Post for the New Year!
6. Holding Patterns. Sandi has been a Bloggy Friend for some time. She is a Past Pop'rs Giveaway Winner, and loves it when we blog about critters, both big and small. I think I first *met* Sandi when I blogged about the pets who needed help in the wake of natural disasters.
7. Dawn of My Day. Dawn is such a genuine person! And yes, she's a Pop'rs Giveaway Winner, too! Dawn works with Special Needs Kids and has the biggest heart! And she always patiently answers my bloggy questions!

Do you really want to learn 10 things about moi? Well, I've got hazel eyes, as does Hubz, but the kiddos have dark, dark brown eyes; I'm a blonde who wished she had more fun; I'm a Cat Woman, but adore all animals; I'm partial to December because the Winter Solstice comes and goes, and we start getting longer days again; I'd eat Mexican food all day, every day, if I could.

Moving right along, I think I might be addicted to blogging (a good subject for a post, no?); I'm sad that Christmas Vay-cay is coming to an end; I'm tired of college football; I'm a huge college hoops fan, especially UNC and Georgetown, and I'M RUNNING THE GREAT NEW POP'RS NEW YEARS GIVEAWAY, which gets underway tomorrow. Please drop in, if you can!
