Some of you might remember reading a
post last month about my trip to New York City for a photo shoot for a campaign with COOL WHIP. This campaign is based on the notion that
“what you add makes it.” As a mom, the little things you do, like adding a dollop of COOL WHIP to an otherwise simple cake or pie, turns ordinary into extra special. I am so happy that I was chosen for this campaign just for that reason! Everyone that knows me personally or through my online social networks know that this is
all me. I really love the fact that COOL WHIP is doing a campaign using
real moms. I'd say that is extra special!
I wanted to share the latest updates with you. If you go to the
COOL WHIP Facebook page and click on the "Real Moms"
tab you might see a familiar
face or two.
I can't even describe what I felt like when I saw this. My family is thrilled and are looking forward to the ad launch in magazines due to hit newsstands in May for June issues. I will be featured in Every Day with Rachael Ray, Food Network, Cooking Light and Parenting Magazine School Years. To say I am excited is truly an understatement! Here is what my actual ad looks like:
