PPS. This happened last night:
I registered for Blend Retreat. I went last year and had so much fun that I just couldn’t stay away, especially since some of my all-time favorite bloggers are going this year!
That’s it, I going to the Blend retreat… done. Thank you so much for including my Life manual post in Bean Bytes, I am grateful and honored… huge hug xoxo

Wow, what a lot of work you put into this post. And I see some titles that I am extremely interested in. Thank you for including us, and thank you even more for such a thorough list.
AlexandraFunFit recently posted..Defining Organic and Sustainable
you’re quite welcome!
I always look forward to your Bean Bytes. Can’t wait to read them after work!

This is always my absolute favorite post of the week! Ty for including my blog post and I can’t wait to read the others you shared today!
Erica { EricaDHouse.com } recently posted..Pensacola Double Bridge Run
Love all these links! I just saved a bunch to read later
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
I’m still struggling with the whole “quinoa issue”. I mean, I understand how it could prevent others, who need it more, from being able to afford it….but…..I dunno, it just seems odd to me. I don’t know what to think.
And I need to read that article about lunch after recess. WE had lunch after recess, sometimes I liked it, other times I was so hungry during recess I couldn’t be active!
The Candid RD recently posted..Magic Salmon in Foil Packets (Mess Free and Delicious!)
i struggle with it as well…you’re not alone!
SO SO HONORED to be included oh GREEN BEAN!!!!
Miz recently posted..Strong is NOT the new SEXY (my thoughts)
squeal for Blend! Did you get a “I’m Attending” button?
not yet!!
That quinoa article is really interesting. I guess I’m out of the loop–I had no idea that there were ethical concerns surrounding quinoa. It’s a bummer that having more money is decreasing the quality of the Bolivian quinoa growers’ diets, but I suppose it is their right to eat whatever they want. Great set of links!

I’m going to Blend too!! Can’t wait to finally meet you, Lindsay!
Linz @ Itz Linz recently posted..Active Accessories Giveaway

I love that article asking if schools should serve lunch after recess! Why aren’t they doing that already?! What’s really sad it that a lot of them are taking away recess…
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table recently posted..Making Monday Marvelous

Becky @ Olives n Wine recently posted..Raspberry Jam-Filled Ebelskivers
ohhh you registered too… I’ve been debating now I think it must be done. Dying to actually meet you in person. sounds extremely stalkerish and I recognize that soooo it would probably be really weird to ask if you have a roommate
Amanda @RunToTheFinish recently posted..Spring Bootie Buster Challenge: Crowdsourced!
not weird…just awesome
COME!
Missed the full-fat post… gotta check that one out. Curious to read about fruits/veggies tied to the blues, as well. Thanks for rounding these all up!
