With the hectic-ness of getting our household goods shipment and the fact that blogging is difficult to do without internet connection at our house, I asked my sister-in-law and fellow blogger to write a guest post for me.
Meet Shelby.
Shelby and I at my bridal shower last spring. |
Shelby just started a new blog and she is off to a wicked awesome start. She blogs frequently and has great content. She never misses a workout or an opportunity to try new foods. Her philosophy on food and fitness is spot on. I know she’s my sister-in-law so I’m definitely biased, but in all honesty, this girl has got it goin’ on. You will love her blog.

Check back here soon for some zucchini recipes. In the meantime, read Shelby’s thoughts on staying fit while traveling.
