I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for MENCHIE’S! Plus #MenchiesMyWay Summer VIP Pass Giveaway!

August 25, 2015 by Sarah 3 Comments

This summer has been historically hot. Heat wave after heat wave coupled with the lack of A/C in our home has left us constantly scrambling for ways to cool off.

Enter Menchie’s.

I’ve driven by various Menchie’s locations recently however, admittedly, never actually visited a store. I’m not entirely sure what’s stopped me from going given the fact that:

a. I’ve always salivated in passing and promised myself I would go there soon; and

b. FROYO

Well, becoming a Menchie’s Ambassador was just the excuse I needed to get me through the doors!

Now let me forewarn you – when you enter into Menchie’s you will magically understand, first hand, the true meaning of the expression “like a kid in a candy store”! I don’t often get beyond myself excited for things to the point where I can’t form a cohesive sentence, but I did my first time in a Menchie’s… And the second time… well…

all of the times!

There is good reason for this though! There is a WALL of FroYo…

A WALL, of FROYO, YO!

Each flavour is perfectly paired side-by-side, allowing you to select either of the complimentary flavours, or twist them together. And this is no ordinary chocolate-vanilla twist, we’re talking Oreo-Nutella, Tart-Blueberry Cheesecake, Mango-Peach…

*drool*

And then there’s the wall of toppings.

And I’m talking your run of the mill sizzler dessert buffet toppings either. Everything you could ever imagine that you might possibly want to put on your FroYo – is there.

White Chocolate Chips? CHECK!
Toasted Coconut? CHECK!
Skor pieces? CHECK!
Fresh Fruit? CHECK!
NANAIMO BARS? DOUBLE CHECK!!

This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the toppings that are there! It’s no surprise that Menchie’s is the largest growing Frozen Yogurt franchise in Canada!

Then there’s the sauces! Ok, I didn’t even realize there were sauces until my second trip (and yes, you’ll without question need to visit more than once to really experience everything fully!). Funny enough, during my first trip I wished for strawberry sauce. Well apparently in my FroYo induced stupor I neglected to realize that there is a variety of amazing sauces to take your creation to the next level!

Then lastly, my next visit revealed the waffle bowls. Yes, you can select from a premade waffle bowl, some dipped in chocolate and ridiculous morsels of deliciousness like white chocolate dipped pretzels, candies, or coconut, or you can have them make you a fresh bowl as a base for your treat.

I could continue on about how amazing it is, but really, you’re probably best served by hitting up one of the 116 Menchie’s locations across Canada yourself.

Speaking of visiting yourself – I’ve teamed up with Menchie’s to offer TWO lucky readers the chance to win their very own Summer VIP passes! Check out below for how to enter!

Contest closes Sunday August 31, 2015. Open to residents of Canada.

    I like lots of ‘stuff’ so I think something like almonds, coconut, skor bits, candied pralines, and of course a cherry on top!

Well, that’s a wrap on my final maternity leave! Back to work for this girl!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Re-entering the workforce is looking a little different this time around. Working from home means I’m going to have to be even more diligent with taking breaks and making time for myself, something that I’ve historically not been very good at. It also means that my screen time is going to be increasing exponentially. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In anticipation of my return to work, I picked up a pair of @sojovision bluelight glasses from Amazon. They shipped super fast, are a great fit and look super cute if I do say so myself!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you use bluelight glasses?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Here we are! 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We had two milestone pandemic birthdays two days apart - 16 and one, so I rented out the amazing @capcityarcade and had our own little birthday party. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The joys of having a big family is that even during a pandemic, there’s always enough people for a party! 🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What’s your favourite retro video game? I got lost in pong (although it was called something else), and impressed my kids by getting the high score! 💪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One year (and a day) of loving you! 💕 What a y One year (and a day) of loving you! 💕

What a year it’s been. Much like everything else in my life I came into this whole new mom again role with high expectations. I had so many plans to do all the things I missed doing with Smalls as a baby because of her open heart surgery. 

Sadly, the pandemic took many of my dreams for this maternity leave away. What it did do however was gave me even more time with all of my kids. It gave the kids more time to watch their baby sister grow, learn and develop and I am so amazingly grateful for that.

I am so fortunate to have the most amazing kids, four different and truly outstanding little humans.

I can not even begin to believe it’s been a year, I blinked and here we are. 

Happy birthday my sweet babe. I love you more than words. 💕💕
