This week I’m featuring Heather‘s blog, Kiss My Broccoli. Heather’s from Tennessee and has a lot of sass.
Not only does her blog have a catchy name, it’s got some great stuff. Including a LOT of recipes. And pancakes.

You may or may not have noticed that my blog went from pretty bland to freaking screaming pink in about 24 hours.

I met Amy Palanjian a couple months back when I did Market Street Media Foundry’s Market Day. She’s on staff with [...]
Time for another giveaway!
This is the 3rd one I’ve done, and I’m loving it! I gave away a Birdies Plate and a Mermaid Bag.
Up for grabs this time is a Manifesto Poster from Lululemon Athletica in blue. I acquired this from my co-worker [...]
I spent the whole weekend in Ames since it was graduation weekend and the BF FINALLY graduated. We went out Friday AND Saturday. I managed to squeeze in an hour-long run/walk yesterday while he was doing the big graduation ceremony (I didn’t go since I couldn’t sit for that long)…and we went to Applebee’s with [...]
