I Like To Move It, Move It! Kinder® Canada And "Madagascar 3" Make A Sweet Pairing!

I LIKE TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT

YOU LIKE TO...MOVE IT!

I can't count how many times my boys sing this song on a daily basis, while pretending they're Marty, Alex, Melman and Gloria   Since watching the first Madagascar movie when Big-A was only a year old, we continue to be huge fans of the hilarious foursome, sneaky penguins and wild lemurs in the Madagascar movies.

When we first saw the trailer for Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted last month, the boys could hardly hold back their excitement!  They instantly requested a movie night to watch Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and we all had a blast, and tons of laughs.

To add to their excitement, Kinder® has partnered up with DreamWorks®, the brilliant animation studio that has brought us the Madagascar movies!  Just when I thought that there was nothing better than a Kinder® Surprise with it's delicious, high quality chocolate and adorable toy, they are now offering Kinder®-sized Madagascar 3 toys in select eggs!

When opening our special 3-pack of Kinder® Surprise Madagascar 3 eggs, the boys were thrilled to find two toys - a spinning top and a lemur on a train.  They played with them until bedtime, and Lil-J happily snoozed off with his lemur in his hand.

Surprise!!  The boys were thrilled to find Madagascar 3 toys
in their Kinder® Surprise eggs!

Wild animals!

An awesome spinning top!

This 3-year old LOVES trains!
A lemur on a train?  There's nothing better!

I love that Kinder® toys encourage my 3-year old and 7-year old
play and have fun together :)

We're hoping to collect all of the train pieces - it's absolutely adorable!

I can't wait to take my boys to the theatre to watch Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted.  And a Kinder® Surprise will be a perfect movie treat!  Don't miss out on the limited edition Madagascar 3 Kinder® toys - your kids will love them!

PC Thins - Have A Bagel Without The Guilt!

Total prep time: less than 5 minutes
Canada's Food Guide Servings:
1 Grain Products (1 bagel)

I try my best to give Big-A a variety of foods for his school lunch.  I've sent him with soup and stew, pasta, pizza, and cheese & crackers.  But what he really likes are plain old sandwiches!  (he definitely likes the simpler things in life!)

I buy whole wheat, grainy and rye breads for his favourite - ham sandwiches with mustard.  One other bread product that Big-A loves, though, are bagels.  I have sent him to school with bagels on occasion, but they are just too big!  So when I found PC Thins Bagels at my local Real Canadian Superstore, I could hear the angels singing to me from heaven!  I have a slight obsession with President's Choice foods, and I love that they're always doing things different from everyone else.

Hallelujah! The perfect bagel!

PC Thins Bagels have half the fat of a standard-sized plain bagel, and close to half the calories.  And best of all, they're not too filling.  When I send them to school with Big-A, they don't come back home.  I keep the toppings simple but delicious and he just loves them!  I always make sure to fill his lunch bag with 2-3 servings of fresh fruit and veggies, ensuring that he has a balanced diet.

I have been on a low-carb diet for just over a month, and it has been very difficult.  I'm not totally giving up carbs, but I'm very choosy when indulging in bread products.  PC Thins Bagels are a perfect breakfast or lunch that don't leave me stuffed and feeling guilty.

Very thin, not overly filling for kids!

President's Choice offers a selection of flavours of their PC Thin Bagels, and you will also find these bagels in PC's health-conscious Blue Menu line.  In Ontario, you can purchase President's Choice products at Real Canadian Superstore, Loblaws, No Frills and Fortinos.
