A Superbowl Challenge from my friend, Melanie Potock

February 1, 2016 by Krisi Brackett 48 Comments

Broncos vs. Panthers..Want to get in on The Wager?                    fb


Melanie sent me this challenge..

 

I’m rooting for the Broncos to win this Sunday’s Super Bowl!  Can’t help it – I’ve raised my family in Colorado.  In fact, my first child was born in the middle of John Elway’s first Super Bowl 29 years ago, with the nurses and doctors yelling “Go Broncos” in the adjacent room while I tried to breathe through the contractions.  We lost that game (but gained a beautiful baby girl)…and now we are going to win Super Bowl 50. 

 

I’m so sure of it, that I’ve made a little wager with my friend Krisi Bracket, founder of Pediatric Feeding News and Carolina Panther fan.  When we win, I’ll send one Carolina Panther’s fan a copy of my new book, Raising a Healthy Happy Eater. (Take a LOOK INSIDE at the book by clicking here.)  IF the Panther’s win, she’ll send a Colorado Bronco’s fan a copy of Pediatric Feeding Disorders: Evaluation and Treatment, which includes a wonderful guest chapter co-written by Krisi.

Oh, and Go Broncos!


   

From Krisi:

Mel, you’re on. I live in an all male household with my husband, two sons, and three male cats so lots of sports going on here. You know what they say about the sky being Carolina blue….all that I can say is Go Panthers!

   

Wanna play?  Just leave a comment in this blog post, let us know which team your routing for, and we’ll choose a winner at random after the big game and post it on this blog!
