MomImpact in Minnesota: AEbleskiver!
Able who? Skeevy what? MomImpact president Kim Moldofsky was impressed when she met the Minneapolis-based folks of Aunt Else’s Aebleskiver at the Housewares Show. Chad and his team impressed her with their passion for their small business which makes a mix and sells special cast iron pans used for making this Danish pastry.
Kim was intrigued. She knew she’d be passing through Minneapolis in June and that there was a wonderful group of bloggers there to meet, so….
Thanks to Aunt Else, Local D’Lish, Jennifer of Unplanned Cooking, Liz of Kitchen Pantry Scientist and the Blog Pantry ladies, we’re having a make-your-own aebleskiver party. Kim will also be talking to the group about brand-blogger relations.
Even if you’re not from Minneapolis, you have a chance to join in. Watch for #MNBlogPantry on Twitter the night of June 10, from 7-9 CST. And want to try you hand at aebleskiver?
Enter to win your own cast iron pan and Aunt Else’s mix, based on a 100-year-old recipe.

MomImpact’s Kim Moldofsky Speaking at the Sweets and Snack Expo
After covering this drool-worthy event as a blogger for years, Kim Moldofsky is pleased to announce that she will be speaking at the 2010 Sweets and Snacks Expo.
Kim sees this as one small step for a mom and one giant leap for mombloggers. She was impressed that she was asked to take part because of her mom’s eye view. As we say here, “Mom’s opinion matters.” It’s great to see an important industry association recognize this at their national gathering.
Stayed tuned because we’ll be posting a survey asking other social media moms to share their thoughts about sweets and snacks and, of course, we’ll host a candy and snack giveaway, too. Check back on the site or look for details in the next edition of MomImpact Memos.
