Link Love is a weekly round-up of my favorite blog posts and recipes from other registered dietitian and healthy lifestyle bloggers.
In Real Life:
This week I went back to work. I kissed my smiling 2 month old baby (and my sweet 2 year old) goodbye and drove into the city. 🙁
Caught a little smile on camera! 🙂
Leaving my babies is never easy. I just love them SO much! However, it is nice to get a break from being mommy 24/7 and have some adult conversations, as well as get back into doing what I love professionally. However, I have decided that I will not be staying at this job. I have been here for 4 years and I love LOVE my job. But, I know I need to be home more often for my kids right now – they are only little once!
Can you have both worlds? Doing something you love while caring for and being with the ones you love? That’s why I started this blog, but it’s definitely taken longer than expected to get things going and making any sort of income (…still working on that one). So THANK YOU to all my readers and followers, because you are giving me the opportunity to be home with my kids while still sharing my passion for food and nutrition!
Now enough of this chatter before I get even more sappy on you. Check out the links below and show them some love – there are some good ones!
