It’s official, I’m a finalist in the De Wafelbakkers Pancake Star contest… so now it’s time to vote for Sami Cone!
There are 9 of us bloggers who made videos at when we were at the Blissdom conference – and mine was one that was chosen 
From what I understand, the winner will represent De Wafelbakkers in future promotions and – oh yeah – win free pancakes for a year.
I have to admit, I was very hesitant about the product the ‘first time we met’. We were at my mother-in-law’s in Florida and when I saw the pancakes in a bag come out of the freezer, I was a little nervous.
Not being a big fan of pre-made pancakes, I didn’t even try them for myself at the time. It wasn’t until I came across them at Blissdom and heard they were carried at Whole Foods that I decided to give them a shot.
Knowing that Whole Foods Market has very strict requirements for what type of products they allow in their store, I felt at ease that they were filled with wholesome goodness. Take a look the Flaxseed Buckwheat Berry Pancakes are described on the De Wafelbakkers website:
…Bite into their soft texture and experience a full flavor explosion. These are not boring pancakes you have to cover with syrup. In fact, you may enjoy them with just a bit of fruit on top. But it’s what we put in them that makes the biggest difference. Our pancakes contain the nutrition you need to get your day started, including omega-3 ALA (1000 mg/serving) from flaxseed which supports overall health. And remember, there is no cholesterol, no trans-fat, and no artificial colors or preservatives!
So now it comes down to this – I’d love the opportunity to represent DeWafelbakkers…but I need your help!

I need your help yet again! Vote on which Fresh Produce Dress Maxi dress you think I should wear on Talk of the Town on August 2nd and you’ll have a chance to win one for yourself!
You guys did such a great job helping me choose my fabulous dress last month that I know you’ll do equally as well this month, since I have two beautiful Fresh Produce dresses to choose from.
I know I typically give you pictures of me modeling the dresses with pretty leaves and such in the background, but not this month. I couldn’t wait to wear these colorful dresses, so I’ve got some fun pictures from this week where I got to celebrate two great events: my best friend coming to visit me in Nashville for the first time and my daughter’s 7th birthday!
Your first choice is the Malibu Maxi Dress in Sunrise. I LOVE this dress for its fit, feel and color. Perhaps you remember my original Malibu Maxi from my March trip to Disney World and I love it even more in this color. I’ve definitely come to find the Malibu Maxi as my ‘go-to’ dress: I’ve worn it for everything from plane travel and grocery shopping to commercial auditions and date nights…and it’s been equally fabulous in all situations! Below you’ll see it in the picture with my best friend and former roommate just after picking her up from the airport (and she’s wearing the equally fun and summery Bali Cafe Wrap Dress in Thistle!)

Now I know I’ve just pledged my love to the Malibu Maxi, but don’t let that sway you until you’ve checked out the Soleil Dress in Thistle. This is also a great maxi dress that is flattering, feminine and totally timeless. It’s got a super-cute neckline and of course you know I’m loving the purple for the summer (who am I kidding…I love purple all the time!).
As soon as I got it, I knew it would be the perfect dress for my daughter’s “Tangled” themed 7th birthday party! Not only did it totally fit the purplish/pinkish/lavender color scheme, but it was comfortable enough to run around and finish last minute details in while still looking cute for all the pictures at the end of the party
The Soleil Dress in Thistle - party perfect!
And I know this picture doesn’t show the dress as well, but I just had to show one more super cute pic of our family from the party:

So have at it! Let me know which dress you think I should wear on-air on live tv! My next Talk of the Town appearance will be on Tuesday, August 2nd at 11am on NewsChannel5 here in Nashville. You’ll want to be sure to tune in, not only to see which dress I wear, but to find out all the latest Back to School Bargains so you can send your kids to school for less!
Remember, not only are you helping me choose my Talk of the Town outfit, but whichever dress you vote for (by leaving a comment below) you’ll also have a chance of winning! That’s right, one lucky reader will actually win the Fresh Produce dress they vote for (though you can choose your own color)!!!!
Just leave a comment below saying whether you love the Malibu Maxi or the Soleil Dress. (You can enter once per day via this method).

Wow, I don’t know what you guys love more: getting to vote on which Fresh Produce Dress I get to wear on Talk of the Town or winning one for yourselves!
We had so much fun with the promotion last month that Fresh Produce wanted to continue the Vote & Win Giveaway Challenge in July! The votes were almost even in June, so I really need you guys to step up and tell me what you love the most this month.
(Of course, they have so many great beach dresses to choose from in this summer’s ME collection that it’s going to be hard to pick a favorite for on-camera again!)
But I have faith in you! This month, you’ll be helping me pick between the Bali Cafe Wrap Dress in Black and the Wrap Me Up Dress in Sunrise:
Bali Wrap Dress
The Wrap Me Up Dress
Obviously, both are a wrap dress, which I find to be not only incredibly comfortable & versatile, but VERY flattering as well. While they are similar in style, the Wrap Me Up Dress has a slightly longer sleeve, while the Bali Cafe Wrap Dress has a shorter sleeve and a subtle print. I’m truly excited to wear either, but I’m curious to hear which you think looks better on me
My next Talk of the Town appearance will be on Tuesday, July 5 at 11am on NewsChannel5 here in Nashville: You won’t want to miss it – I’ll be sharing my Top 6 Food Finds in Nashville under $6!!! So don’t wait too long to vote… I need to know what I’ll be wearing, so the voting will close at midnight CST on July 4.
Remember, not only are you helping me choose my Talk of the Town outfit, but whichever dress you vote for (by leaving a comment below) you’ll also have a chance of winning! That’s right, one lucky reader will actually win the Fresh Produce dress they vote for!!!!
Just leave a comment below saying whether you love the Bali Cafe Wrap Dress or the Wrap Me Up Dress. (You can enter once per day via this method). I’ll be back behind the prop table this go-round, so length isn’t an issue like it was last time.
