We have a winner for Sugarcane Soup's 'make up a sentence contest,' sponsored by Park Dental! Our reader, Lucy, sent in this creative doosy: "My pulchritudinous teacher told me to make a sentence using mimsy, or she was staying up for a nychthemeron and would get no sleep." She won a Kids' Sonicare toothbrush from Park Dental!

And dear deeply valued teachers, fear not; she learned the word "pulchritudinous" in Sugarcane Soup, and it means "beautiful." :)

From the smarty-pants Purdue University people regarding connecting with your kids over mealtimes: try to carve out one day a week to dedicate to your family meal! Or just go to one of our restaurant partners - The Muni in Wayzata - supporting quality family together-time with Sugarcane Soup!

Is it any wonder our biggest holidays center around a traditional family meal? It's how we celebrate life together. It's a time to create a sense of belonging.

Sugarcane Soup is about giving families something to do TOGETHER instead of a lonely, isolating, and mundane maze or dot-to-dot! www.sugarcanesoup.com

Family meals help provide a regular, consistent opportunity to create a shared experience that is meaningful and offers a sense of belonging to all. Research has shown that regular and meaningful family meals offer a large variety of benefits to children and parents.

Why sponsor a section in Sugarcane Soup?

Incredible value and visibility while supporting quality family together-time. Why just be seen when you can be seen doing something GOOD?

Aligning with a positive force in the community promotes an altruistic image for your business; it sets you apart from your competition in an extremely beneficial way. Sugarcane Soup offers very sweet value that you won't find elsewhere in disposable advertising such as coupon booklets or advertisement mailings; not only will your business actually be seen for a significant duration of time, it will be seen as doing something GOOD for the community!

Our sponsors believe in using their advertising dollars to do something good and give back to the community. Kindness counts!

Our Sugarcane Soup publication was created with an understanding of these very important statistics about families dining together! Sugarcane Soup supports building healthy, connected families, nourishing souls and parent/child relationships. We build our content to get families talking, interacting, and engaged at dinnertime!

Good for mind and body.

Random act of kindness alert!

We at Sugarcane Soup are inspired by the stories (and at times brought to tears) on KS95 radio of people in great need this holiday season for a bit of surprise kindness. Lets do it too (in our own small way)! Email us at contest@sugarcanesoup about a friend, coworker, or family member who could use a 20$ breakfast giftcard to our amazing (I mean crazy delicious - I recommend the Banana Pancakes) restaurant partner, The Original Pancake House in Maple Grove on Bass Lake Road. Tell us why your friend needs this little random act of kindness right now in a few sentences; we will put all entries into a hat and pull a couple of winners. A gift card will be sent to you to present to them! Invite your friends to participate and share this post on your wall!

Kindness. It's contagious. :)
