So today I received a package from my "Boyfriend in Brown" AKA the UPS Man. It was a box that had the 1-800-FLOWERS logo, as well as the 1-800-BASKETS logo on it. I am not currently working with either company, so needless to say, I was totally puzzled. I opened the box, and there was no note, no card, nothing. Just a HUGE purple Chinese Take-Out style box. Strange, huh? Inside of the box was a gigantic, beautifully wrapped, chocolate and candy coated fortune cookie! I mean, this baby is huge! I had never seen anything like it before in my life! Of course, I thought it was too darn pretty to crack open, so I started googling sweepstakes thinking maybe I won it while entering sweeps at 3:00AM while half-asleep. After all, I have never seen such a gorgeous fortune cookie, so I would have HAD to be severely sleep deprived, as I often am, or I would have remembered entering to win one, right? Of course, my Google search proved to be fruitless. Back to the drawing board. Then I started calling everyone I know asking if they had sent me something really odd...I called my grandparents up in Ohio, my sister-in-law in Texas, and every other person I could think of that would have my address. Needless to say, I was going bonkers! I knew it wasn't my husband for 2 reasons: While he is wonderful, he is probably the most unromantic man in the world and this wouldn't even have occurred to him. And I manage our finances so I would have seen a charge show up in our statements, which I check daily. Finally, I was able to literally fish the fortune out of the cookie. Here's what it said: "A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED"-Charlie Chaplin. WELCOME TO THE 2012 STEP2 TEST DRIVE MOM BLOGGER PROGRAM! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO AS A MOM AND AS A STEP2 BRAND ADVOCATE. THE STEP2 TEAM This totally made my day! Not only because I am THRILLED to have been selected as part of Step2's 2012 Mom Blogger team, but because I genuinely love this company. They have some of the absolute best products for kids on the market today, and I am always excited to work with them and share with my readers. My kids love them, too! Plus, this is a company that really knows how to treat people. They are friendly, warm, and with little surprises such as this, really know how to make us Mom Bloggers feel like part of the Step2 family! Must be because they're from Ohio...And Ohio people are awesome. I should know, haha. I grew up not too far from the Step2 Headquarters!
THANK YOU, STEP2! Looking forward to another wonderful year of working together! You guys are the best!
