This month marks 8 (!!!!) years that I’ve been blogging. Back then, I was a fairly early adopter to the world of food blogging and didn’t really know anyone with a blog. These days the internet is so saturated with bloggers and ideas that it’s hard to imagine, but 8 years ago, the food blogging world was…
Books for a Fresh Start
I’m a sucker for fresh starts, and I love the feeling in the air of everyone trying to start the year off on the right foot. Whether you set resolutions or goals for the year or not, here are a few of my favorite books for motivating positive change and becoming more like the person…
