What I’m Thankful For

November 24, 2011 by Julie 54 Comments

What I’m thankful for… in pictures!

My husband who also happens to be my best friend and the person who understands me, makes me laugh and supports me in ways I can only try to reciprocate every day…

Sadie and her ability to make me laugh and remember to enjoy the little things in life every day…

    THANK YOU Julie for letting us into your life.. Your blog is seriously my number one because everything you write is so genuine and it feels like we get to be a part of your life.. I love the way you write about life’s most random things, Sadie-Exercise-Enjoying Food-Your Hubbie etc.. Keep up the good work because I would need rehab if you ever stopped with PBF 😀

    Happy thanksgiving!

    This may sound cheesy, but I’m thankful for you too Julie!

    Your blog was the first healthy living blog I came across and have continuously read every day since I discovered it. You have inspired me to create my own blog and I can only hope that one day my blog will become a fraction of what your blog is now. You inspire me to be more creative with my blog, but also to make my blog a little bit more personable.

    Thank you for being such a wonderful YOU…and for blogging about it!

    Sadie is so photogenic!! I love the second picture! 🙂 I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I’m excited to see those costumes!!

    One thing I am thankful for this year, for so many reasons, is finding your blog. Through reading it daily, I am reading more, for one! 2. More motivated than ever to be fit and healthy. I find myself excited to sleep before midnight rolls around so I can wake up before the sun comes up! 3. I have found other blogs through your guest posts that I also read daily. 4. I am roasting cauliflower (how did I not know about this before?!) and cookin’ up meals like a champ. 5. I am the proud, so very proud, owner of a stand mixer (ahh!!) which I have used SO many times already. So thank you thank you thank you, peanutbutterfingers! 🙂

    Aww I’m British so I don’t celebrate thanks giving but that post made me a bit teary eyed in a good way lol I got some very sad news today about my friends husband who has cancer so its been an emotional day. Certainly makes you feel thankful for everything you have and the little things in life that give you joy 🙂

    Hiya Julie ….

    Aww …. UR soooo sweet + intelligent. Can’t leave that out. I {{heart}} PBF! Glad to have found it.

    Sadie is awesome! She learns it from you and the hubs! You set excellent examples!

    Thanks for sharing Julie. Really. Great knowing about your fam. I think your sister is gorgeous. You both remind me of Kate & Pippa! Ha. Yeah. Honestly.

    Is everyone full??? We sure are. Awhile ago it was time for coffee & dessert = creme brulee cheesecake! Wow. Tasty.

    Thought to check into a few posts before nodding off. Had to include PBF! Now …. off to dreamland.

    Nite.

    Ha, I’m going to add to the chorus to say that I really appreciate your blog. Yours and htp are the only two that I read daily because the love the genuine and healthy balance approach that you share. Elsewhere I see a lot of restrictive eating, over-exercising, weight fixation, etc. so it’s refreshing to see people (like you) that treat themselves and their bodies well for holistic health.
