Frosting and A Smile

With lent nearly over, I think we are all looking for a way to satisfy our sweet tooth!  The "Frosting and A Smile" blog will help you do just that!  You may recognize a familiar face when you check out the about page of "Frosting and A Smile".  It's none other than Laurie Monteforte, WBRE's Pocono Bureau reporter.  I actually learned about this blog through my friend and co-worker Julie Melf!  Julie and Laurie are good friends and participated in the Pocono Cupcake Challenge together last year.  More on that here.

From the About: 

"Let’s eat some frosting! Let’s grab a spoon and eat it straight out of the bowl. Don’t worry if the kitchen is a disaster or there’s flour in your hair. If you love making sweets to share with the people you love, this blog is for you."

Yummmmmm...

Laurie's blog was recently named one of the top 10 food blogs by voiceBoks.  She placed 4th out of 50 blogs which is very impressive.  If you don’t want to miss out on any of the deliciousness, you can follow "Frosting and A Smile" on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest. You can also subscribe by email.

Happy indulging!

Mailbag Round-up

It's no secret I've been neglecting my duties on this blog for quite a while.  With more responsibilities in my work and personal life comes less free time.  I'm hoping to turn it around with better time management.  Harold and I have talked about devising an editorial calendar so that the blog is not neglected for long periods of time.  Please accept our apologies for lack of posts!

We've received a ton of email with new blog additions and I figured it would just be easiest to lump them into one post to play catch up.

I am from Scranton (I am actually the editor of the Abington Suburban newspaper) and, at the urging of just about everyone I know, I started a lifestyle blog yesterday about the health issue I went through. I wanted to list it on NEPA Blogs and I really want to make a go of this. The address is: http://andtheriverrunsfree.blogspot.com
