Yesterday, I received an email that I had been waiting for all summer. I kid you not when I say that I have been checking my email religiously and more frequently than ever. You see, I had applied to join the KINDER Mom ambassador program coordinated by the wonderful women at Mom Central Canada. I was crossing fingers, toes and, lately, eyes, too. The suspense was literally driving me crazy. Want to know what's even crazier? I'm in! Ahem. Ladies and gents, may I present to you your newest #KINDERmom! Please, hold the applause...


With the official re-launch of Kinder® Surprise® in Canada, I will be joining a number of fabulous women across the nation as we celebrate news of their all-new, Kinder® Surprise® 2012 Toy Collection. Not only will chocolate lovers young and old continue to enjoy great tasting chocolate made with simple ingredients like high-quality cocoa, real sugar, and a visible milky lining, they can also rest assured that it is peanut-free. Plus, there are so many neat new toys to discover and play with.

With children ages 3 and 6, it's often all about the play and making time for it can be as easy as turning a normal task into a game. My kids are particularly competitive and I shamelessly use that to my advantage. We often end our 'tidy up' time with a super fun dance-off. We also squeeze in some walks around the neighbourhood and visits to the local playground whenever we can. I especially enjoy having a family game night, too. Sometimes, I forget that I'm 33 years old and have kids of my own; I still feel like a kid myself!

Be sure to tune in on the Kinder Canada Facebook page to keep up to date on all the latest or follow the #KINDERmom hashtag on Twitter. If you like their Facebook fan page, tune in at the end of the month to find out how you can get your share of 5000 Free Kinder Surprise Eggs!
