First of all, I was surprised to open my email to a note informing me that an article I had written had already been published on yummymummyclub.ca …
(http://www.yummymummyclub.ca/family/toddlers/age-three-is-the-magic-number)
…and then, as if that wasn't enough, I also made the cover of the Fall 2011 Canadian WineCrafter Magazine for an event I attended in September with (again) the Yummy Mummy Club.

It was a Create Your Own Wine Club/Win Thirty Bottles of Wine contest sponsored by the Canadian Craft Winemakers Association who partnered with YMC in order to expand their social media reach. I thought it was an awesome contest and a great event. And the wine (I chose Shiraz) is seriously delicious. I love wine. I love free wine even more.
This is fun stuff! Being published is a little thrill in itself, so the fact that I also get to be a winemaking covergirl? Crazy! I will undoubtedly, be getting some teasing among family and friends but that won't stop me from singing the America’s Next Top Model theme song to myself for the next week (Wanna be on top?) Yes. Super-cheesey but c’mon, when am I ever going to be on the cover of a magazine again?!!
It also just goes to show you, those contests are out there for anyone to wine. I mean win...
Gotta go practice my smeyesing in case Tyra calls! Oh, who am I kidding...
