A couple of years ago I bought Hannah her first Lego set when we were on vacation. I had no idea how Lego had changed since I was a kid with their neat pieces and great instructions!
Since then Hannah’s Lego collection has continued to grow as she’s purchased some herself and she’s received many as gifts.
We wanted a place to store her Lego so I purchased a book case and Hannah was a big help putting it together!
I love this little video of her playing when she didn’t know I was filming. I love to hear her sweet chatter.
Hours and hours of fun already….and to come.
As I was writing the post I suddenly realized that I could hear the familiar rustle of Lego pieces being played with in the play room above. My girl in her happy place!
Canadians enjoy our ketchup. For years Heinz purchased their tomatoes from local farmers and manufactured ketchup in a nearby town. All of that changed a while ago when Heinz pulled out and left many famers and factory workers wondering where to turn next.
Enter…French’s!
French’s has moved into the same factory, hired staff and are once again purchasing their tomatoes from local, Canadian farmers. This has led Canadians to stand up and take notice. A ketchup challenge is taking place across the country!
I will admit that I’ve been a Heinz ketchup girl since I was a child and only once did I make the mistake of buying a different ketchup. Oh boy was I sorry when I did!
But now…all that is changing!
Like many Canadians, once we finally got our hands on a bottle of French’s ketchup (thanks to my friend Gord who found them at his local store, as they’re disappearing off the store shelves as quickly as they are stocked) we set up a family taste challenge!
We quickly realized that they looked different so it needed to be a blind taste test. Enter the official blindfold – my nephew’s dinosaur sleepers.
My brother David was first up.
Next, Trish.
I was the third victim to go and lol….check out my dear SIL!
As you can see we had a lot of fun with this!
In the end 5 of us took the Heinz vs. French’s ketchup challenge. All 3 adults were surprised that we would happily eat either ketchup as that wasn’t expected!
When encouraged to make a decision the final was:
Heinz: 1
French’s: 4
French’s was chosen by all 4 girls and I know that it will now become the ketchup of choice at our house!
Single Mommy to the most amazing baby girl in the entire world! We were blessed to be brought together through the miracle of adoption. My file was logged in China on March 23, 2006 and life changed forever in a wonderful, amazing way when Hannah was placed in my arms in Hunan, China on Monday, November 2, 2009!!! This site is created to welcome family and friends to follow along with our family's fun and adventures.
