I LOVE your blog! I just started reading it today. I really like your outlook on food, nutrition, and exercise…it really makes me realize how skewed my mind is right now, haha.
Hi!
I’ve been reading your blog for a few weeks, and thought it about time I comment 🙂
You are so inspirational. I really appreciate your approach to food and health; you are honest, and you know how to eat sanely (aka, not piling up a bunch of lettuce and veggies and calling it a meal), actually eating in a balanced, healthy manner, eating carbs, protein, veggies, and fats. When I’m having a rough day, I look to your blog for encouragement to take care of myself and reassurance that it’s okay to eat.
Thus…
I spend hours reading blogs, just because it makes me smile.
Check out my blog! I’ve just recently started it up again after a bit of a hiatus, and I’m hoping I can dedicate some time to it this summer.
I bought cream cheese today … just because it makes me smile.
That’s a lie. I bought cream cheese so I could make the chocolate cheesecake bites you posted yesterday!
Anyway, LOVE this post. So funny how our posts coincide.. first the magazines, now the smile! The one that I’m posting is more of a negative post about not smiling, but still.. I think we might have some sort of telepathy thing going on. And I absolutely adore those heels. When my toe heals, the first thing I’m doing is rocking a sassy pair of pumps!
your post made me smile 🙂 hope you have a wonderful evening dear!

Reading this post…just because it makes me smile. SO much. I loved every bit of it!
Speaking of ice cream, the very last bite of soggy cone filled with the very last lick of melty ice cream always always makes me smile. The perfect bite.
I hope your mom had an awesome trip! And what an adorable little gift she brought back 🙂
I was thinking that exact same thing when I was eating the last bite of my cone! It was like I wish I could just eat a million of these without having to go through the whole thing… although, the rest isn’t anything to complain about either 😉

What’s the Room about? I keep seeing it every where.
I only just started it, but the synopsis issss:
To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It’s where he was born and where he and his Ma eat and play and learn. At night, Ma puts him safely to sleep in the wardrobe, in case Old Nick comes.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it’s the prison where Old Nick has kept her for seven years, since she was nineteen. Through ingenuity and determination, Ma has created a life for herself and her son, but she knows it’s not enough for either of them. Jack’s curiosity is building alongside Ma’s desperation — and Room can’t contain either of them for much longer…
Told entirely in the inventive, often funny voice of Jack, Room is a celebration of the resilient bond between parent and child, and a brilliantly executed novel about a journey from one world to another.
It’s a good’un so far 😀
