Who Am I?

My name is Sheri McDonald (AKA Sam) and I am the blogger behind Kidsumers. I am a happily married Mom to four awesome kids: a 20 year old son who is in his second year of college; a 9 year old son who loves to learn and explore; an 8 year old daughter who enjoys creative tasks and all things girly; and a 4 year old son who loves cars and has an incredible sense of humour. We are owned by an 8 year old shi-poo named Leaf, who loves people and a quiet nap perched on a pillow and blanket. We live in Southwestern Ontario and together we love to travel, play games, camp and just spend time together.

What is Kidsumers?

Kidsumers (a play on the word ‘consumers’) is a family blog about food, travel, product reviews and being a parent. I try to write about products and experiences that will be interesting and relevant to my readers, and I have had the great privilege of working with incredible brands like Disney, Ford Canada, MGA Entertainment, The Children’s Place, Mark’s Work Wearhouse, Global Resort Homes and so many more great companies. I value the long term relationships I have developed through blogging, and I aim to always appreciate the incredible opportunities my family and I have had through Kidsumers.

I have built a strong following through Kidsumers and my social media accounts and I recently had the privilege of being a presenter at the She’s Connected Conference in Toronto. I spoke about how to use Pinterest as a blogger or a brand, and I received positive feedback from those who attended the presentation. I was recently nominated as one of Circle of Moms Top 25 Mom Blogs and also as one of Canada’s Top Family Blogs through Topblogs.ca.

I have done guest posts on a variety of blogs, and I was a week long contributer to the i.seeKissimmee Blog. I recently became a regular contributor at Traveling with Kids.
