The Inside Scoop:
Exciting news: this past week we welcomed a new member of our family! No, I didn’t have my baby (he better stay in there for a while longer). We got a new car!
The more roomy ride for our expanding family!
With the impending arrival of our new little one, we knew we’d be needing a bigger vehicle. Kids and all their gear take up so much space in a car! Who knew someone so small required so much?! It’s like a traveling circus just to go anywhere sometimes. So now we are poor but at least we’ll all fit in one vehicle as a family once the new little one does arrive. 🙂
In the nutrition blogging world a lot of great articles and recipes have arrived on the scene! I love reading credible nutrition information online from other RDN bloggers – then trying some of their great recipes! It never disappoints. Here are some of my favorite from the past week. Check ’em out and show them some link love!
Oh, and have a Happy Halloween!
