The Inside Scoop:
Welcome to November! Can you believe it’s already here?! Last weekend we took the little man out trick or treating. We took him last year, but he didn’t fully understand the concept. This year, after about two houses, he caught on that if he said trick-or-treat they gave candy. He was all business going from door to door collecting his treats. We ended at my parents house and had white chicken chili and cornbread for dinner. 🙂 We sure love our little cowboy!
The rest of the week has been pretty uneventful. Yesterday and today I am attending the Utah chapter of AADE Annual Conference. There were some great sessions yesterday and I’m excited to learn more today! I love being a certified diabetes educator and being able to help people with diabetes understand and improve their health.
Now to the good stuff! As always, RD bloggers out there have been cranking out some pretty good content this week. Check out some of my faves below and show them some link love!
