chocolate

My friend, Julia of Nugglemama’s Handful asked me to attend a press event downtown on a day when I was feeling so sick. But I did it, because she’s awesome…oh and because there was chocolate. Ferrero Rocher is making a Canadian tour with their giant gold dome. To read about my…

As a first post after a very challenging time in our little family’s life, I couldn’t be happier to write about a great company and fun launch. Kinder has teamed up with Monsters University to introduce for the first time (ever!) 100% licensed toys in their Kinder eggs.

So I thought, why not introduce you to it for Valentine’s Day?
