See Mom Run Makes the Chicago Tribune

Stop the presses! We've got our first official break in a major newspaper - The Chicago Tribune. Sure I'm a publicist and I should have had See Mom Run plastered over the New York Times and USA Today but guess what? It is very difficult to break through - hence this wonderful placement three months after our publication date! But no matter. That's the whole trick to success. You keep rolling that boulder up the hill and hopefully, someone who lives in Chicago (Oprah can you hear me (sung to "Papa Can You Hear Me" From Yentl) will be reading today's paper and say to her producers - hey, we need to book those funny mothers on our show!

Anyhoo, if you'd like to take a look at the story, then please visit and enjoy! And if you haven't ordered See Mom Run yet...well what are you waiting for??? It makes a great Valentine's Gift for Moms!!!

And a little footnote...I'm thismuch closer to Oprah. Check out this Friday Follow recommendation on Twitter. She can hear me, she really can hear me!

Dealing with Tantrums on ABC News Now

No, I did not throw a tantrum on ABC News Now, but I did share a confession recently about how my husband and I handled my daughter's tantrum when she was two years old. Mind you, she's now a tween and hasn't thrown a tantrum in years. Then again, we've renamed the word - it's not a tantrum, it's more of a hissy fit. Anyway, here's my big confession about how we used to deal with our daughter when she was melting down in one of our favorite restaurants.

Do you have a meltdown story to share? Comment now and tell us how you dealt with a tantrum. Best story wins a copy of See Mom Run!

News from the Twitter Front

In case you live in Westchester and were keeping score, yours truly is the top Twitterer in New Rochelle! How did I find out? Well Julie Alterio (aka @everythingjulie on Twitter) informed me of the news when she wanted to interview me about my status for a Journal News article. So should I be proud of my accomplishment or concerned I may be a Twitiholic? Anyway, here's the link to the article. And if you care to follow me, I'm @rolemommy.

Jennifer Perillo: Unlike many food writers, Perillo's isn't the romantic story of a girl who grew up surrounded by a love of cooking. A kid of the 70's, Rice-a-Roni wasn't just a San Francisco treat, yet she had a hunch cake was more than just add eggs and oil. During the summer between freshman and sophmore year in highschool Jennifer claimed the family kitchen. Along with adding mixed green salads to the dinner menu, she began devouring cooking magazines and learned you didn't have to fry or cook everything until it screamed for mercy. The real change came when her dad died at the age of 49. Only 23 years old, Perillo started thinking about regret and missed opportunities. Time to Eat, a personal chef service, was born. After being featured in the New York Daily News, Time Out New York, online at CNNfn and in local newspapers, Perillo decided to hone her hospitality skills with the best NYC had to offer. She worked with Tom Colicchio when he was the top chef at Gramercy Tavern back in 2000, and left the NYC restaurant scene in 2007 on a high note as the Events Director for Alain Ducasse at his namesake restaurant in the Essex House. Nowadays, she's juggling spatulas and sippy cups in her Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn home with her husband, and two daughters while working as the consulting food editor at Working Mother magazine, writing a weekly blog for Cuisinart and publishing her own food blog, In Jennie's Kitchen.
