The Re-Launch of Kinder Surprise in Canada (+ I’m a #KINDERMom)

Kinder Logo

I have always been a fan on Kinder Suprise eggs. How can a combination of chocolate + surprise toy be wrong? I got introduced to them in my 20s and had a collection of their toys that I kept at work. I started buying them for my daughter but still kept the toys for myself. Now that she’s 3, I started letting her play with the little toys, still most of the time she’d rather play with the toy casing.

I am very happy to annouce the official re-lauch on Kinder Suprise in Canada. I’m glad that I also get to be a part of a wonderful group of Moms (through Mom Central Canada) that will be helping spread the word of this event, the KINDERMoms.

New More Playful ToysWith the re-launch comes more new toys! You will find an awesome gallery on the Kinder Canada Facebook page. They are now bigger, better and more playful. I can’t wait to find out how they fit a 22cm giraffe in the little case! And if you act fast, they are not done giving out 10,000 FREE EGGS on their page. You never know, you might get the chance to play with one of their new toys soon.

Back to School with Tiny Prints

BackToSchool with Tiny PrintsSummer is almost over, how many of you have started your back to school shopping? What traditions do you have?

For my family, it will be our first getting ready for school shopping. I realize it’s preschool, only 2x a week for AJ, but she has been getting more and more excited the closer it gets. For me, it’s a mix of “I can’t believe my little girl is going to school!” excited, and “I can’t believe my little girl is going to school…” sad/scared. They grow up so fast.

For the past two years, her friends have been the other children from daycare. Now she will get to meet new kids and make new friends. She has never had a problem going into new environments with different people, so I’m hoping school will be a great adventure for her.

———

Tiny Prints have a variety of products to offer for back-to-school shopping. There are cute labels to attach to your kids’ stuff. Notebooks, notepads, stationery, even dorm decorations for the not-so-young children. There are also products for teachers available.

Disclosure: I will receive a Tiny Prints gift code for my participation in this Global Influence campaign. The opinions in this post are entirely my own. This post has not been reviewed or edited by anyone.

Aboutone.com #Review & #Giveaway (US Only)

Aboutone.com

I have a confession to make, I am not good with paperwork and clutter. This is one area I know I need help with, how to get organized. When I had just the one girl, I was already getting a lot of notes from her different classes, and that was before she even started preschool. Now I have two, and more paperwork are coming.

I have tried different methods on how to declutter, from filing envelops, binders, boxes. It would work at first, but then I’d go back to what I used to do. Just keep piling everything up in a corner.

Now I am trying something totally different. Aboutone.com is a digital filing system and more. What’s different this time, is that I can bring all the information I need with me. I can access the site anytime on my phone, no need to bring bulky binders or envelops with my family’s information. It just takes a little time to input all the information into the website.

What is Aboutone.com? AboutOne is an online productivity tool for home managers that comes with a digital filing cabinet for all the information life throws at you. Between health and school records and adorable artwork that’s way too cute to toss, storing important paperwork and preserving family memories is no easy feat. Throw in thousands of photos and stuff piles up fast! AboutOne takes care of all that, and is a great mother’s helper!

After I signed up for my account, which only took a few minutes, I was able to add our whole family and create profiles for each member. I love how I was able to create a health record for everyone. I can record my children’s immunizations, any allergies, medications. You can even add a vehicle and create a maintenance history!

Another great feature is the ability to make a Family Newsletter. Another way to keep everyone in the family connected, especially if you live in different countries as we do.

This site has really started helping me out with my record keeping. As long as I keep at it, I’m sure it’ll be the help I have been looking.

Watch this video and see how Aboutone.com can be used to keep track of your children’s education records:
