The Endorsement Parents Look For

Author Archives: Kathryn - PTPA Marketing Director

We all have our favorite brands, those brands that we frequent regularly, that we believe in and stand behind. For me Tim Hortons is that brand. Not a morning goes by that I don’t stop to pick up my large tea and a bagel. It is part of my routine and the brand just feels like home for me. Last night I had the pleasure of attending a wonderful event hosted by Tim Hortons.  As I observed a room filled with many Tim Hortons executives I felt  such a sense of pride and excitement to be part of an amazing … Continue reading

Every once in a while an evening comes along that leaves you inspired and ready to take on the world with all new meaning! That night for me was this past Saturday when I had the pleasure of enjoying an evening with Oprah an amazing surprise from Sharon and CAA!

Each December our family looks forward to our annual Howell Hanukkah party! We prepare the guest list, get out the decorations and work on the menu. For the last 15 years since we started this tradition we have tried many different latke recipes but year after year we felt they were just missing something. That was until I saw the photos on my friend Moniques Facebook page. Her latkes looked AMAZING and I knew we had to get the recipe. She generously shared her recipe and last year our family enjoyed the best Latkes ever served up at a Howell … Continue reading

My family and I had the pleasure of joining a wonderful group of PTPA Blogaholics and their families at Boston Pizza for a fun and YUMMY event! We all gathered at the Yonge & Sheppard location to experience the new BP Kids Program. It wasn’t 10 seconds before the kids were checking out the new Boston Pizza activity packs (so perfectly created in a pizza box).  Each child receives an activity pack with their menu.  The activity packs were filled with memory cards, crayons, activity sheets and a game. I am sure most of you can relate to me when … Continue reading

As a busy Mom of 2 who has been driving a mama van for the last 6 years, I was just a bit giddy when I received the opportunity to drive the a fully loaded Infiniti JX35 from Infiniti Canada. From the moment I saw the JX35 I knew this was going to be true love.  Luxury is simply not a strong enough adjective to describe the beauty of this car. SLEEK EXTERIOR The exterior is eye-catching and screams out luxury! It wasn’t in my driveway for more than 1  hour before flocks of neighbors were over asking if we … Continue reading

As the Marketing Director at PTPA and a Mom of 2 children I know the importance of finding products that parents approve of! There is so much to choose from on the market and I love seeing the wonderful products that come through our doors at PTPA and seeing the terrific feedback from our evaluators. Each campaign I learn a little bit more about how to find the right products for your family. I love dealing with the companies who submit and the parents who review! It is a fun and rewarding job!
