Let’s hear from you.
I would like my blog to be a forum for my readers to share their stories and experiences and express their views and opinions about being a part of a blended family. I am working on a book tentatively titled:Blended Family Stories. It will be an in depth look at the real life challenges and joys of successful blended families. If you would like to be part of my research I'd love to hear from you.

Calling all Foodies. I am working as a marketing consultant for my friend Les Cooper who owns Coeur d’Olives, purveyors of fine foods specializing in premium extra virgin olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars with unique flavors like black cherry, pomegranate, tangerine, fig and red apple. The oils are to die for too. I recently made a Southwest style crab cake with chipotle mayonnaise using the chipotle infused oil. If you would like the recipe, sign up for Les’ email list on his Facebook page and we’ll send you our newsletters. My first official promotion is to hold a recipe contest. If you come up with a recipe or serving suggestion using one of Coeur d’Olives products, and we use it in our newsletter and post it on the Coeur d’Olives website, we will send you a free product of your choice. And my fellow bloggers out there, if you announce this campaign on your site we will send you a free product just for giving us your pitch.Published on December 3, 2009 · Filed under: PRODUCT REVIEWS;
