Share Your Passion

Last my friends at Nutella asked me to share with you my passion – my love for all things related to the water. And this week they want me to share with you how I’ve shared my passion with others.

I know unless you’ve been completely vested in your passion or hobby for years, it can be awkward or uncomfortable to share the things you love with others. Even though my love for the water has been a life-long passion, it’s still hard for me to share that part of my life with others. And the reason? Well, it’s pretty silly I know, but most of water sports, excluding that frozen water fun, requires you to be in your bathing suit. And it doesn’t matter what size I am, or what type of bathing suit I have on, I will always be uncomfortable.

However, of the people I have shared my love for all things water, have always had a wonderful time. Especially all of the close family and friends we’ve taken on our boat and tubed or skied with. And I’ll never forget the fun we had a few weeks ago with my sister and brother in law, exploring for miles up the St.John’s river. We stayed out after dark on the water. It was so beautiful.

But of all the people my husband and I have shared our mutual love of the water with , no one fell in love with it more than our son. It’s the most rewarding thing in the world for us to see the joy, excitement and sometimes fear in my son’s face as he trys something new on the water. Just this summer he’s mastered tubing by himself, ventured into red-flag waves at the beach, and learned to swim like a pro. We couldn’t be more proud.

And with all that water fun, we have to refuel.  And one of my must have items when we’re on the go is Nutella. It makes the best sandwiches and is perfect for dipping apple wedges and pretzels.

Nutella® hazelnut spread is a happy start to every day! It’s so versatile and can be enjoyed on so many things like whole-wheat toast, waffles, pancakes, croissants, bagels, English Muffins, graham crackers, crepes, fruits and more. You’re only limited by your imagination!   On the Nutella® Tumblr page, you can share pictures of you enjoy Nutella, get recipes and participate in spreading the happy!

There’s nothing quite like Nutella®. Its uniquely delicious taste comes from roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and cocoa. And did you know that Nutella is gluten free and has no artificial colors or preservatives? And have you heard of Nutella&Go!? It’s one of my favorite snacks! It’s a single-serve convenient snack pack with Nutella and breadsticks for dipping anytime, anywhere! Nutella can be found grocery stores, warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers, and is generally found near the peanut butter and sweet spreads section. Nutella&Go can usually be found at the front of the store- end caps or at register.
