Ragu® Launches 'Mom's the Word on Dinner' Program
- Online community invites moms to share their stories about what really happens at dinnertime -
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., March 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Every night Mom faces dinnertime challenges only other moms can understand - which is why Ragu® is launching "Mom's the Word on Dinner", an online community that brings moms together to laugh, learn and share their stories about what really happens at dinnertime.
Parents can join the conversation by visiting Facebook.com/ragusauce. Each month a group of mom bloggers from Momversation.com(TM), the premier online video series and site for moms, as well as parenting expert and author, Dr. Michele Borba, and Registered Dietician, Dr. Felicia Stoler, will join moms across the country to tackle various dinnertime dilemmas. The topics to be discussed will range from how to deal with picky eaters, to getting kids to eat their vegetables to what dinnertime really means to you and your family.
"From compartmentalizing food on their plates to the 'I want dessert!' before dinner challenges, as a mom of two under the age of six, I've seen just about everything," says Daphne Brogdon, Momversation.com(TM) panelist and creator of Coolmom.com. "We're laying it all out on the table at Ragu® 'Mom's the Word on Dinner' as we compare notes, get the dish from other moms and help each other by providing solutions to whatever issue we're facing that day."
Throughout the year, the Mom's the Word on Dinner community on Facebook.com/ragusauce will feature various videos, photos, polls, quizzes and dinner ideas with quick and easy recipes. Parents can also share their story with America for a chance to be featured in a Ragu® advertisement in PEOPLE magazine this summer.
"For more than seventy years, Ragu® has provided nutritious meal options for moms to help them feed their kids well," says Donna Barker, Marketing Director for Unilever. "We're excited to bring together a passionate community of parents to share the joys and challenges we can all relate to with our family at the dinner table."
With two full servings of vegetables in every half cup of Ragu® Old World Style® Traditional pasta sauce, Ragu® continues to help moms in their mission to feed their kids well. To join the conversation and tell your story for a chance to be featured in a Ragu® advertisement in PEOPLE magazine visit Facebook.com/ragusauce.
