Neil Patrick Harris and the Moms Network Help Kick Off the Launch of Jif Powerups!

July 2, 2018 by Denise Courter

 

Neil Patrick Harris and the Moms Network Help Kick Off the Launch of Jif Powerups!

 

Parenting struggles are a dime a dozen. Ask any parent about the challenges of parenting and more than likely, you will get a laundry list of struggles…bedtime, potty training, teething, sleep deprivation and mealtime and snack time struggles. So, it makes sense that the Jif Brand would team up with Neil Patrick Harris, a father, and parent of twins, who also happens to be a fantastic actor on stage, tv, and film and an all-around good guy. He was joined on stage by a comedy troupe, doing improv and acting out real-life parenting struggles that many parents have faced. The Moms Network invited bloggers to attend a taping of a Facebook Live streaming event, which was broadcast from the iconic Caroline’s on Broadway.

The audience was invited to participate as well and the interaction between NPH and his fans, along with the chance to laugh at ourselves and the trials and tribulations of parenting was genius.

Jif Powerups are a great way for parents to offer a healthy snack and especially for kids that are busy and on the go. Summer camp, adventures that take families near and far are great examples of how Jif Powerups can be a part of a healthy and adventurous day.

As we launch into summer, summer camp, road trips and air travel, we are excited to add the Jif Powerups to our arsenal of healthy and tasty treats for kids and adults!

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
