This Blessed Little Life

The holidays are officially here, and with that comes lots and LOTS of parties, work carry-ins, church programs and many other opportunities to EAT, EAT, EAT! This time of year can prove to be the pitfall of many faithful "dieters" or healthy eaters who have done well with their diet and exercise habits the previous 10 months of the year.

I have been wanting an outlet where I could record experiences that mean something to me, but also I hope that some of the posts ahead will help someone else. So here it goes!
