Chicago Parent Book Excerpt

Thank you, Tamara O'Shaughnessy, editor of Chicago Parent!  Our first "excerpt" below!

Yeah, Oprah.  I'm coming after you next.  Even if you do put yourself on the cover of every one of your issues. 

I respect that kind of gumption.

    1. Thanks, Betty! I don't know if I'd go so far as to use the word "successes," but I am feeling so incredibly lucky for you and the wacky & wonderful blog network. You guys really are amazing.

    1. Are you calling me fat?

      Thanks, Andrea! I'm waiting on a few things before your package gets sent.

      Boy, you are so going to kill me.

    2. No, I did not say you were unstoppable at the buffet line...fame, stardom...the sky's the limit for your talent!

      hmmm...should I be rethinking the package I just taped up for you? I refuse to untape it!

    3. Sky's the limit? At last! I won't bump my head!

      I can whole-heartedly respect your desire to not untape perfectly wrapped packages. But you knew that already, didn't you?

      P.S. The boys found your Box Tops & are fighting over them. I was saving the supply for when they have the pizza party contest (whichever class brings in the most Box Tops wins). It's starting to feel like an episode of the Brady Bunch around here.

  3. Oh I hate being sick! Look at all the news I've missed out on. A big and hearty congrats to you Marianne. Don't forget me when you're rich and famous and Donny Osmond comes a-courting you. :)

    1. As long as you keep your Jessica Rabbit mitts off my Donny, you are invited along for the ride!

      I'm so sorry about your being sick. Hope things are improving.

  4. I am so excited for you! May you get countless more radio interviews, and may none of them have the nutrition expert follow your segment.

    2. Thanks so much for frequenting my blog. I got a used copy of your book from Amazon in the mail today and can't wait to be entertained by it after I finishing a few tasks around the home. BTW, no evidence as to who had the nerve to sell a used copy of your book, but I would have spilled the beans if there were evidence.
