Treat Mom to a DQ Cake and Support the Children’s Miracle Network through Lindsey’s Cakes for Miracles #LCFM

May 8, 2014 by Kathryn 224 Comments

When I was a child, one of the most exciting and coveted treats in my life was an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. But with a birthday in January, I never actually got one. My sister, with a birthday in June, was more often the lucky one that got to blow out the candles on her DQ Cake and while I still got a piece of the cake to eat, it just wasn’t the same. Now, as a mother, I have the perfect excuse to enjoy a DQ Cake and the perfect time of year to enjoy it…Mother’s Day!

But this year, treating Mom to a DQ Cake will do more than just put a smile on her face…it will also support the Children’s Miracle Network through the Lindsey’s Cakes for Miracles program! From now until May 11, 2014, one dollar from every DQ Cake sold will be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network. The funds raised stay local and are used for life-saving equipment, research, community outreach and more at the local Children’s Miracle Network hospital.

Join the Sobeys #PotluckChallenge and Support Food Revolution Day #FRD2014

May 6, 2014 by Kathryn 58 Comments

Despite the fact that my mother and father were both lawyers and often worked long hours with minimal free time, neither one of them ever really embraced the concept of “convenience food.” I think it was partly a result of my mom being born in Europe and raised with a more European upbringing and partly the result of my parents both genuinely enjoying food and cooking, but whatever the reason for their preferences, I was almost exclusively raised on meals made from scratch with real ingredients.

Today, as the world has become busier and convenience options have become even more widely available and affordable, there are many people that don’t even know how to start making the switch from processed convenience options to meals made with real, wholesome ingredients and that, in turn, has created a generation of children that don’t really understand the importance of real food. Empowering children to be “food smart” was what inspired chef Jamie Oliver to start Food Revolution Day, and this year Sobeys has partnered with Jamie Oliver to help spread the message of Food Revolution Day on May 16, 2014 by hosting Canada’s biggest potluck party!

You can get tips on hosting the perfect potluck and use the online Potluck Planner to organize all the details. Then share photos and posts about your potluck on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtags #FRD2014 and #PotluckChallenge! For every hashtag mention, Sobeys will donate $1 to the Children’s Aid Foundation’s Cooking Toward Independence project, up to a maximum of $25,000! Wondering how to get started?

Join the Kinder Canada A Joy to Share Campaign and Spread the Joy this Christmas #KinderMom

December 5, 2012 by Kathryn 5 Comments

It’s the season of giving and while I’m having a great time finding gifts to surprise my boys with on Christmas morning, I’m also trying to make sure that I think about ways to give back to my community and to those in need during the holidays. There are so many worthy causes but I have a few that are near and dear to my heart and when December arrives, I always make sure that I’m showing my support to them.

kinder canada a joy to shareKinder Canada believes in giving back to those in need as well and that’s why the company is kicking off the holidays with the A Joy to Share campaign! Kinder Canada is sharing the story of the Martin family this holiday season and for every time the video is shared on Facebook, Kinder Canada will donate one dollar to the Children’s Miracle Network of Canada, up to a maximum of $5000! A simple share can spread a lot of joy to a sick child this Christmas! [Read more…]
