Santana and Matt Matt

Is that not the cutest thing you have ever seen in your life? Matt Matt and Santana.

Big thank you to Missy who got me a gift certificate to Erin Baker’s Wholesome Baked Goods! After hearing how much she enjoyed her organic brownie bite, I was dying to try all 3 brownie flavors – Double Chocolate, Walnut and Mint.

Erin Baker's Brownie Bites

From their website:

Our Brownies are decadent, delicious, and LEGAL!

At Baker’s, we don’t bake anything unless we can bake it healthy! We combined fiber & protein aplenty to curb your cravings, and antioxidant-rich Belgian Chocolate to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Perfect for anyone who is looking for guilt-free indulgence . . . who isn’t?

Agreed.

I ordered them and am anxiously awaiting their arrival. The Double Chocolate and Mint flavors have 90 calories in each brownie and the Walnut has 100. I am so excited. I love brownies. Thanks, Missy!

ThisIsWhyYou’reFat did not accept my submission. They did, however, get a book deal.

Thank you Danielle from 365HealthyEats for awarding me with an E for Excellent award:

Excellent Blog Award

Danielle said, “(Dori’s) posts always make me laugh outloud, she’s got a great sense of humor. I’m also meeting (her) at the blogger brunch so can’t wait to meet…you!”

I am so excited to meet Danielle and the other girls! Also, maybe I can get Danielle to call my grandma and tell her about this award. My grandma is the cutest lady in the world, but she tells people that I have no sense of humor — while I am sitting right there. “My grandson Matthew is so  funny, he makes all of us laugh! Oh, how he makes us laugh. But my granddaughter Dori…she just has no sense of humor.” I have to respond with, “Grandma, I am sitting right next to you — I can hear you.”

Of course, this story makes my brother, my mom, Mallories and I laugh every time we mention it. So at least something good came from my complete lack of humor.

Anyway, I am passing the award on to two bloggers I love:

Heather from Heather Eats Almond Butter for her delicious breakfasts. As you know, I love breakfast foods — and I really believe Heather should open a breakfast restaurant! She makes these incredible looking, innovative, healthy breakfasts every day.

Jen from Prior Fat Girl whose weight loss journey, successes and commitment to health have been nothing short of inspiring. Please visit her site, look at her before and after pictures and read her wonderful entries!

  10. The greatest tip that most new your net biz owners can ever get their hands on would be to
    constantly make sure on handling other individuals online.
    Since web marketing has actually taken the spotlight in the current years, low life scammers have actually likewise seen it
    to be a great venue to swindle good and truthful individuals’s
    cash.
    Possibly simply as vital, they left me (and all those other possible entrants) with
    the impression that they were a disorganized, badly run business.

    This is not to reduce the value of SEO specialists
    in any method. They serve a valuable function and needs to never ever be ignored.
    Nevertheless, they have their restrictions too and when you are seeking to
    prosper in internet advertising you will desire to deal with the most efficient and dynamic
    of developments that are used to increase traffic. Once again, this is
    where the Web2.0 innovation comes into play.

    The problem doesn’t begin with choosing the ideal program or guide, but instead starts with going from one money making technique to another.

    It is very important to establish your strategy with the best marketing methods and stick
    with them. You will certainly never ever find out
    if it works or not if you don’t stick to your plan.
    What I imply by this is, they spend many hours studying film of previous
    games of their challengers to comprehend what their every move will certainly be.
    All teams do this, but those who do it correctly and
    correctly will get the advantage. You have to do the very same for your business,
    to allow your advertising to be affective.
    Usually the competitors inside the specific niche is milder, than in the
    big markets. This originates from the fact, that
    the huge players are not interested about these small markets, which leave them to the internet marketing house
    business marketing professionals. The small companies are pleased to obtain them, because the online search engine rankings, for
    circumstance, stay better with the smaller sized work quantity.

    Work at home tasks with no costs are on the Internet.
    You can sign-up with a company as their affiliate,
    and accept have them pay you just when you
    make a sale. There is no limit on the number of vendors that you
    can partner with. Presenting the time and effort can develop multiple streams of earnings for
    your online business. Affiliate marketing has numerous advantages and have actually been shown to
    make you the most cash in the least amount of time. You do not have to get in touch with clients and you
    can put your site on auto-pilot and earn commissions 24/7.

    I get irritated every day and have sabotaged myself by erasing at least 2 lists with over 40 customers.
    Why? Stupidity is one reason, and nonsense is
    the other. Ah, but learn and live. I went back to square one twice, but I push forward since sheer determination will certainly not permit me to stop, that and a minor addiction to
    it. Do not fret; I have a call into my medical professional!

  11. Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  12. I will right away seize your rss as I can’t in finding your email subscription hyperlink or newsletter service. Do you have any? Please permit me know so that I may just subscribe. Thanks.
