A Tornado of Topics

Hopefully the topics don’t represent the damage a tornado does! lol So, I get to spend a day with some culinary experts in Ohio at the Stouffer’s, Let’s Fix Dinner discussion. You have until tonight to ask any questions for the following experts!

CASA – An expert from the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. CASA has conducted more than a decade of research about family dinner and has consistently found that the more often kids eat dinner with their family, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs.

Antonia Lofaso – Past Top Chef contestant and Celebrity Chef. Antonia has a decorated background as a culinary expert but notes her greatest achievement to be her 8 year old daughter, Xea.

Lynn Fredericks – Author of “Cooking Time is Family Time.” Lynn is the mother of two and offers insight about tackling the difficulties of family dinnertime.

Carleton Kendrick – Author of “Take Out Your Nose Ring, Honey, We’re Going to Grandma’s.” Carleton is a family therapist and has worked as a consultant for more than 20 years. His book offers a positive, light-hearted perspective on raising teenagers.

Dr. Meghan Barlow, PhD – A pediatric psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital. Dr. Barlow’s main area of interest is working with pediatricians to address emotional, behavioral and developmental issues within their pediatric patients.

PHOTO CONTEST

The photo contest for April has ended!  There were 32 entries, which is not bad at all right!  There were some great entries, some that didnt’ follow the rules and a few that really stood out.  It’s gonna be hard for the judges to choose!

CURRENT GIVEAWAYS

I have two giveaways going right now with more planned so subscribe to my blog people!  Pilloroo and the Crazy Horse West one.

COWGIRL CRITIQUES

So, I decided to part with that blog.  I started it for reviews but have decided not to do as many as before.   Lately I had been updating it with coupons, deals and sweeps and that has been well received.  I simply plan to do those coupons and sweeps over here.  So if you’re subscribe to that blog, you can unsubscribe because I won’t be updating it anymore.

Do any of you have any news?? What are you doing online lately, or even offline for that matter!  Share with me ’cause I wanna hear:)
