Tina Shares a Great Site for Leftovers!

OK, how many of us end up with a few left over radishes, a few apples or even one banana. A good “tool” to have is our own creative imagination but what happens when we get that “block” and all we want to do is toss the darn things or add them to our compost?  Hold your horses! There is a site to help! It still needs some alterations in some cases based off of the allergy needs or if you are gluten- free or celiac. In any case we are all used to that so I decided to pass this on to you:http://supercook.com Tina Turbin

Tina Turbin – a New Member of SIBA!

It has been an incredibly successful year thus far for my Danny the Dragon children’s book series, across the globe, and we expect even greater success for the remainder of the year and on into the new year!

Therefore it was only fitting that I become a member of the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA), as a way to get acquainted with the booksellers close to home here in the U.S., and establish some great partnerships along the way.

We’re gearing up for a very exciting promotional and marketing campaign. More exciting news to come shortly!

Her approach in garnering awareness on these important topics comes from her position as a humanitarian, and a professional, and one who lives a gluten-free lifestyle, while utilizing her educational videos, books and storybook characters to share the educational aspect with children

Terrific Mom Find !

This site is an amazing resource for us moms! You can look up certain brands of foods and the ingredients to stay away from food allergies or additives. Search “Gluten-Free” and “cookies” for example and you will be guided to  a list of treats that will fit your needs. I am a bit picky when it comes to referring a good resource, but I feel secure in sharing this one: http://FoodEssentials.com  Tina Turbin
