my addiction

Hi.  My name is Jamie, and I'm addicted to blogs!  

(This is where you all say, "Hi Jamie", FYI).

But, seriously, I think I have a problem.  The problem started pretty small as I perused friends' blogs and then found some fun cooking and running blogs.  The blog addiction has now brought me to crafting blogs and even teaching blogs.  And, I can't get enough of them.  My justification for following all these blogs is the fact that they impact my life and my job now.  I have used countless lesson plans from fun kindergarten and other teacher blogs.  My husband can't complain either because the addiction has led me to create delicious creations in the kitchen.

Remember this:

Toasted coconut gluten free waffles, oh yummy!

Well yesterday I tried out a new recipe that I stumbled upon while visiting Joy the Baker's blog.  First, the smell coming from the oven was amazing.  Next, the bright color from the chunks of mango made it look like it was going to be a party in my mouth.  Then, the taste test came.  Oh. My. Goodness!  It was delicious!  Even the husband approved!

Vegan Mango Banana Bread

On Sunday I perused all of the crafts I have saved on Pinterest, and decided that it was the perfect day to finally make something!  So, I made this beauty from Little Miss Momma.  It was super easy, and looks way cute on.  Just ask my friend, Lindsay, who was over the dinner last night.  She demanded that I make her one pronto!  

So I guess I'm using my addiction for good.  But, boy oh boy, do I feel better getting that off my chest!
