Did you miss it live? Catch up with me on the CT Style couch promoting my new children’s book, Sweet Dreams, and in my usual kitchen spot making That’s SO Jenn’s healthy Carrot Cake Pancakes! They look (and taste!) like dessert– a perfect breakfast to enjoy the morning after reading your new favorite bedtime story–and a nod to a pivotal point of the book. Special thanks to everyone who has already sold me out of Amazon pre-orders (now re-stocked!). Sweet Dreams is also still available for pre-orders at BarnesandNoble.com, and you can get your signed copies right here at That’s SO Jenn!
I’ll be doing a reading/signing at A Joyful Noise Paper Co. in Monroe, CT on December 6th at 10am, the day of the official book launch! I look forward to seeing you there!
