The Zimmer Zoo

Thanks to Cheryl, I’ve been thinking of fish!

Not THAT kind. THIS kind:

You may have noticed the banner over there on the left-hand side…I’m a Fishful Thinking Ambassador, which means that I’m here to help you and your kids! Okay…not me personally. But I’m here to tell you about this awesome program.

I don’t know about you, but I eat my kids eat Goldfish all the time. And I remember eating them when I was with my Grandma after school, so they always bring back great memories. Well, Pepperidge Farm has created this exciting new program, Fishful Thinking. And knowing the Pepperidge Farm name – and the quality of their food, I was delighted to see that this same quality carries over to their program. A quote directly from them:

The Goldfish® brand cares about kids and wants to help inspire them to become the successes they were born to be. Through the Fishful Thinking^SM program, Goldfish provides parents with tools to help teach their kids how to navigate obstacles, overcome failure and achieve what they want.

Right? Sign.Me.UP.

Full disclosure: As a Fishful Thinking Ambassador, I earn incentives from Pepperidge Farm for my participation. Every time you click one of my links, I get points toward the incentives. However, if you know me at all, you know that I wouldn’t endorse something I didn’t believe in!
