Press: Magazines, Websites & Guest Posts, Oh My!

Posted: July 20, 2012
I love sharing my story.  But beyond that, deep down, I really love that I have a story to share!  This has been a life-changing year for me, both getting healthy AND developing my love for writing/blogging. The past few weeks have been especially exciting, as I have had a number of articles written and published in various magazines, websites, and other blogs.  Today I want to highlight a few of them so that you can see them too and celebrate with me!

Beautiful Layers Magazine:

Features 3 articles: my story, weight-loss tips, and a recipe! (starting on page 52)

The Saturday Evening Post's US Kids Magazine:

A featured article called {Quick and Easy Toddler Lunches}

Foodgawker's Website:

A prestigious collection of mouth-watering food photography, my gallery is slowly building!  See icon ---->

Guest Post on My Food N' Fitness Diaries Blog:

Details my struggle to get pregnant and the importance of listening to your body!

Guest Post on The Lean Green Bean Blog:

Redefining "normal" - veggies, exercise, and smiles!

Guest Post on Lindsay's List Blog:

Details about what it took for me to "wake up" to the fact that I needed to lose weight.

As you can see, it's been a busy month (on top of all my regular posts here at No Sugar Sweet Life!)

And now for the Giveaway Winner...

Of the beautiful My Sweet November "You Anchor My Heart" Necklace:

 And I just love the winner's comment b/c I relate so much!

So, email me your info Joanna, and we'll get the necklace sent your way!

And I'll close with another Babycakes pic. If you missed this week's Babycakes post, be sure to check it out (if you like seeing absolute cuteness!). We went with a frind to see the butterflies yesterday.  This is the only picture that she actually smiled in - when I let her lay down on the wet dirty concrete IN HER DRESS.  She thought it was the.best.ever!! Silly girl!

Have a great weekend, y'all! And see you Monday for another awesome giveaway :)

I love that so many good things are happening for you. I'm going to have to pick your brain at some point, because you've done amazing in such a short period of time. Just awesome! :)

Thanks for the woohoo! And my brain is ready for picking. :)

That is so cool that you are getting your recipes and message out there! And Babycakes is so cute, as always. I love her little cheekies!

I've just discovered your blog through Janetha's Meal and Moves, and I love it! Such an inspirational story! Looking forward to reading more.

Submitted by kelly - July 25, 2012 - 3:51pm

So glad you found me and took the time to come on over :) Welcome!

Submitted by Molloe @ Sprinkles of Life - July 26, 2012 - 3:32pm

I, too, found your blog through your guest post on Janetha's blog. I just love your story and your fun outlook on life! I've been reading old posts of yours and could prob post comments on almost all of them! Instead, I'll just give my shout-out here. ;)

I am a healthy eater too- although, I could definitely take in less sugar :) I came by my healthy habits pretty naturally. I have always enjoyed healthy foods and it became a big interest of mine in college to really focus and learn more about health and nutrition. I have a five year old and really have tried hard to instill in her the value of good nutrition. I also have a bachelor's degree in Nutrition Science. I could talk food and health ALL.DAY.LONG!!

Just wanted to say hi and let you know you have a new reader :)

OMG!! seriously, how did I post my original comment with my name misspelled?!?! LOL

Submitted by kelly - July 26, 2012 - 3:35pm

I was like, wow, I've never heard of the name Molloe before :) Glad you found me too, and thanks for the nice long comment. I look forward to chatting more via blog! I would LOVE to go back to school to learn more of the "science" behind nutrition. So cool that that's your degree!! Mine is math/accounting...not so cool :)

Submitted by Mollie @ Sprinkles of Life - July 27, 2012 - 9:33am

I'm not quite using that degree in my professional career though :( Hopefully someday. For now though, I'll take chatting and giving advice to friends and the occasional blog post about it. Although I definitely need to post more in that realm. I have a whole list of post ideas, not just need to implement them. That 40 hour full-time job that's NOT blogging sure gets in the ways of all those ideas ;)

I'm a juicer, too! I use the Omega 350 vert. LOVE IT!! I've been doing it a couple times a week since last November. I never write any recipes down, but I really should! My favorite is an apple, pear, carrot, celery, lemon, ginger combo! Can't wait to try some combos you have on your blog.
