The Inside Scoop:
I’ve decided to start a weekly link love post. Every Friday I’ll be sharing links to my favorite articles and recipes I’ve seen throughout the week. I love sharing and promoting what others out there in the healthy food and nutrition blogging world are writing and creating. Be sure to check them out, as they each have something unique to offer!
I’ll also be sharing just a tiny recap of my week….tiny because my life isn’t all that interesting. For those that don’t know, I work full-time, 5 days a week, outside the home. This blog is really a hobby of mine, something I like to do on the side and when I have extra time. This week at work was the usual, seeing patients (my favorite part), doing paperwork (my not-so-favorite part), and everything in between. My husband recently began working as a full fledged pharmacist (he graduated in June and passed his exams this summer!!!), which meant putting our son back into day care. 🙁 We are back onto a regular schedule (for the most part) and really enjoy the moments we do get to spend together. We’ll be spending this long holiday weekend with family, so that will be fun! I hope you all have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend and eat some good food!
