Real Life Happenings:
This past week has been a normal week – which is a good thing! With the impending arrival of our little one in the next couple of weeks I am enjoying every “normal” moment I have until then because I know my life will be sleep deprived and a little more hectic once he arrives. Good news, both him and I are doing well. He is on track for growth, is head down and waiting for the right time to join us. I am going to make a push this weekend to get some blog posts written and scheduled ahead of time so there will at least be a few posts going out after he comes. We’ll see how it goes!
This past week, as usual, there were some great health and nutrition blog posts put up on the web. Below are a few of my favorites. Check them out and show them some Link Love!
