Happy Blogiversary!!
I would love to try the Barney Butter!
Happy Blogiversary! I love your blog…keep it up! I saw it posted on eatlikeme. I would love to try Barney Butter…I see a lot of people raving about this and it sounds great! Also, the figs look yummy…from your blogs they make me want to try them….and lara bars too…i havent ever tried them but have been wanting to. Thanks for the great blog keep it up!
Congrats on one month of blogging! The Barney Butter sounds delicious… I have been looking for it around here but so far have not had any luck.
I love reading your blog – looking forward to many more months of blogging!
Congrats on your one month blogaversary! I really enjoy reading your blog. I would love to try those Lara bars. I have heard so much about them, but have never tried them!
Oh wow, congratulations! I would love to try Barney Butter, but also sink my teeth into a larabar. Believe it or not, I haven’t jumped on that yet.
Hey Kristin!
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that reading your blog is an inspiration (seriously, I’ve found myself wanting to eat better and exercise more, and I love all the recipes and food ideas you give). I even found myself looking for Barney Butter this past weekend…so that said, I would LOVE to try the Barney Butter! In fact, I would love to try all of it
Thanks for the inspiration!!
My mom sent me your blog (which she got from your mom!) and ever since I’ve been hooked! Along with my mom and sister I might add….I mean, we’ve had conversations about your blog over dinner!
Hey Kristin! LOVE your blog. I’m Hannah’s mom from the previous entry and I work with your mom. I haven’t missed a day since she told me about your blog. I told both daughters about it and as Hannah said, we discuss it often.
You make me want to try oatmeal and I have never in my life wanted to eat oatmeal for breakfast. I like oatmeal in things like cookies, but the idea of warm oatmeal in a bowl has never been appetizing to me UNTIL I began reading your blog. I seriously think I am going to have to give it a try. I’m not sure there is one thing more than the other that I want to try. I find myself looking for the things mentioned in your blog in stores as I am out shopping. Basically I want to try it ALL, so I want the whole package. I’m not afraid to admit it. Now….can you also somehow package all that energy and commitment to exercise that you have?? I would kill for THAT package.
Thanks for being a daily inspiration and please don’t ever stop! Your blog is one of the highlights to my day.
Happy Blogiversary…. I only started reading your blog a week or so ago, but I really enjoy following your blog because I know where alot of the places that you go to are. I hope that you continue blogging, because it is so much fun to follow that daily life of a working woman!!
Happy Blogiversary! I’d love to try Barney Butter, I haven’t seen it here before.
Thanks for all the wonderful food ideas. I would love to try Barney Butter & the figs as well – I don’t think I’ve ever had one in my life!
Hi Kristin!
I love reading your blog and I think its great that you are givivng away some of your favorite foods.
I would have to say that the figs look the most enticing to me. They are always posted in pictures in your oatmeal and Id love to try them.
I have to agree with you about the LARA bars (peanut butter is the best) but they are hard to find! I also love, cashew cookie, banana bread and apple pie. Those are probobly my favorite.
I hope you have a great week!
Lauren
Happy Blogiversary! I hope that you have many more, b/c I love reading your blog.
I have been searching for the cocoa almonds, so I definitely want to try those!
I would love to try the Barney Butter! =)
Happy Blogiversary! I’ve really enjoyed reading it.
Out of your stash, I think I would most like to try the Barney Butter and the cocoa roasted Almonds.
Here’s to another many months!

I’d love to try the cocoa almonds and the LaraBars look yummy! Linking back to you on my post now!
May Canadians enter? I’d most like to try the Chocolate Coconut Chew Lara Bar.
Congratulations on your first month!! How on earth could I opt for anything other than the Barney Butter, after the amazingly enthusiastic write up you gave it?! I’m intrigued, having never had any kind of almond butter, and only being a recent convert to trying peanut butter! Have to say, I also fancy those cocoa roasted almonds. I think I’ll just have to wait for all of them to make their way across the pond though, because I think the shipping costs might cripple you!
Have a great day – hope the sun comes out.
Happy blog anniversary!
I too found your blog during my regular visits to eatlikeme. So THANK YOU for posting your web address there. I really enjoy your awesome blog. I think I want to be a blogger so that I can have awesome blog friends and blog meet ups.
I REALLY want to try Barney Butter. I tried to get my free sample, which I saw on Megan’s blog, but they were out. Bummer! I don’t really want to commit to a full jar (out of my pocket) until I know I like it. So…a free taste would be FAB-U-LOUS!!!
Happy Anniversary again! Keep up the great work!
thanks for the awesome giveaway!! keep up the hard work with the blog:) I’d definitely would like the Barney Butter!
Congratulations on the anniversary! I love your blog and think you’re so upbeat and have a great attitude about food and life in general! Plus I’m a Midwest girl too!
Happy anniversary! I’m in love with your blog…seriously. I’ve been thinking about starting my own but haven’t made that leap yet.
I want to try Barney Butter! YUM!

Hi Kristin! I am Luann’s daughter (she works with your mom) and Hannah’s sister (from the above comments)! I also graduated with your brother (and went to UNI) if you want more connections….small world! My mom got me hooked on your blog (who of course heard from your mom)! I check it every day and LOVE reading it! You are such an inspiration! You make me want to get up at early hours and walk and then run later in the day (two things which I hate….early mornings and running)! I want to try everything….but would be most excited about Barney Butter….Lara Bars and the almonds…I love raw almonds and can’t begin to think about what cocoa ones would taste like! Thanks for blogging!
I just found your blog and I kinda like it! Your giveaway selection is amazing! Everything is delicious!
I would want to try the mission figs. I just discovered turkish figs and want to taste the difference.
I also really really want the Barney Butter. I tried it months ago and thought it was amazing. Now, I’ve been trying to order it from Amazon, but it hasn’t been available. (I want to get the 3 pack deal from Amazon because I like a bargain! Just not sure how long I can wait!)
I already love the Lara Bars, so I have to say I would love to try the figs. I’ve never noticed these at the store before, but I love figs.
