I Love Surprises! Don't You?
Yesterday, something fun happened. I got a knock on the door from UPS and was handed a box.
Puzzled, I looked at the shipping label and didn't recognize the return address. "Hmmmmm...what is this?", I thought.
I opened the box and found a fortune cookie the size of my head inside...and that's it. There was no packing slip, no card, no form letter. Well, I did just have a baby one month ago so I figured someone sent us a treat to congratulate us and forgot to add a card with it.
Out of curiosity, I headed to my computer and went back through my email. Had someone sent me a "Heads Up" about this and I missed it? {My email has been a bit chaotic since bringing home baby number 3.} Nope. No messages anywhere about this one.
Oh, well. Crack into the giant fortune cookie and enjoy! That's what I decided to do.
After cracking the fortune cookie, I saw a piece of paper inside of it. The fortune read:
If you search for "Step2" on my blog, you'll see a running relationship I've had with this brand. I've shared things from play kitchens, to outdoor toys, to learning ideas using Step2 products over the past few years and I am SO excited and SO honored to have been selected for this program.
Now, I don't know any details about this. After I got over the excitement of the note, I said "What does it mean??". As I learn more about this, you can count on me to dish the skinny with you. I'm hoping it means a lot of fun for my kiddos and for you as my readers...my blog family. ;)
Stay Tuned!

I would love more info on this program! As a mom to four and a speaker and writer, it would be a great fit for me... and a fantastic way for Step 2 to continue getting the word out about their amazing products!
