Peeling Mom Off the Ceiling

CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANGES!

After 8 delightful months and dozens of wonderful shows, the time has come for the I'm Thankful Network and I to amicably part company. My last ITN show will be Monday, June 26th. 

What am I doing after that?  To be honest, I'm not sure! Lots of big changes happening in this year: 

• jobs have ended
• our youngest graduates from high school
• we'll be empty-nesters this fall
• we're selling the house we've lived in for 11 years

Please know, as I write this, that all is WELL! We have health, we have love, we have financial stabiity (knock wood) ... AND we have a lot of change. I'm grateful to be able to see it, recognize it, and accept it. It doesn't feel like time to make any big decisions. My only firm plans are to ride out this very transitional time with as much grace and humor as I can. 

I have visions of podcasts dancing in my head ... stay tuned!  Even better, make sure I've got you on my mailing list so I can keep you posted when my newest incarnation manifests itself. (God, I've been hanging out with my woo-woo friends too much!)

Love,

Leslie

Welcome New Sponsor: Margit Crane - Gifted with ADD

Q: How many kids with ADD does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: Wanna ride bikes?

If your family has experience with attention deficit disorders (as mine does) this joke might make you laugh extra hard. ADD and ADHD can be challenging for the best of us: tears, arguments, struggles in school. If you're a family with ADD you know what I'm talking about.

That's why I'm SO thrilled to have Margit Crane, M.A., M.S., M.Ed., The Gifted-Teen Coach and an award-winning author and speaker on family relationships, child development, and learning strategies as my newest sponsor. Margit is the creator of "Gifted with ADD: Solutions for Parents of Distracted Kids".  She has created a terrific summer program called "3 Session Solutions".  It's coaching made SO SIMPLE.  Three Sessions. On the Phone. To transform you, your child, and your whole family.

She is offering a special price just for Peeling Mom Off the Ceiling Fans.  We have our own special link: http://margitcrane.com/mom/

Click the link. Check it out. Sign up for the program. Be transformed.

THEN you can go ride bikes.

Welcome ToweLocs (SPECIAL OFFER)!

A hearty WELCOME to our newest sponsor, ToweLocs.

 

The ToweLocs® Story

 ToweLocs®  was created by Cindy Sawyer, a mom who was repeatedly frustrated every time her hand towels fell off the towel bar and when her kitchen towels did the same upon opening her oven door.  This was also compounded when her two young children, Keelan and Skylar, could not help themselves and leave their hand towels on the bathroom floor after each use. As you may imagine, this was an everyday event in any typical household.

So she wanted to find a way to not only secure her towels in their rightful place but to also do it with some style.  This sparked the invention of ToweLocs® .  After numerous prototypes and designs, she decided on a final product that exists today. She was inspired to market her invention when she received multiple compliments on what has now become a practical household product and how it accentuated her bath and kitchen towels.

Why I Love Restaurants That Use Twitter (check out my guest post!)

(NOTE: My good friend and colleague Leslie Irish Evans is one of my favorite gourmands – “one who is excessively fond of eating and drinking” and she is a crazy active social media enthusiast.  She has built her community “Peeling Mom Off The Ceiling” to a following of nearly 6,000 Facebook fans and 1400 Twitter followers with her humor, wisdom and insights.  I wanted her to share what it’s like for a non-food professional to interact with restaurants on Twitter…because she is “one smart cookie” when it comes to food!)

I'm honored to have been featured as a guest-blogger for my good friend Karen Rosenzweig of One Smart Cookie Marketing.  She's the savviest Social Marketing guru you'll meet, and she specializes in working with restaurants to get their message out.  Thanks, Karen, for the fun assignment!
