I’m not a real mom yet, but I teach my readers to eat their fruits & veggies.. just like mom!
I lost my own mom in 2001, and somehow losing her also sparked my interest to cook. I got fat (my own words, some disagree) and then lost it all while still cooking nice meals every day. . Then I got married and started to really cook great meals. It is hard to balance blogging with life, since the internet is its own world too, but I squeeze blogging into life, and life into blogging. I am better on camera than I am with words, but I never have anyone home to tape me. I work from home and talk to myself all day long. Kind of like this post, but out loud. OK, maybe worse than this post, since you can’t hear me singing!
I love my husband. Really really really love him. You would too, if you knew him.
Some of my friends don’t understand how easy it is to cook healthy meals every day while living life. I started teaching them by emailing recipes they asked for, but soon I just turned my blog into that resource. How boring does that sound?! It really isn’t. I share recipes I’ve created or tried as well as product and restaurant reviews. I think it’s fun, and by my monthly increases in traffic I would guess my readers think it’s fun too! I do it for the fun, not the money, and until very recently I donated all blog profits to various charities.
One day I have anxiety over having not posted, the next I don’t really care. I wish I could say I only blog for myself, but I don’t. I love sharing my passion for food and life with the world. I’m on Twitter and blogs all day long, even while working. I guess you could say I am obsessed. I haven’t been around for long, but I really love blogging!
I’m not a mom, but I want to be one… like yesterday. Maybe that will happen soon… maybe not. I’m still really young. Maybe that’s where my story currently hides.
sabrina, you’re going to be such a fantastic mom – i have no doubt that you’ll be following the amazing legacy your own beautiful mother left 🙂
ooh baby! for some reason I’ve been thinking you were thinking this but I didn’t want to be annoying about it. woohoo to even thinking about it!
i really do love your writing, keep it up!
You will be a mommy soon, when the time is right. 🙂 If I’ve learned one thing this year it’s that everything happens in its own time. I’m sorry about your mother; I know you’ll keep her memory alive for you and your kids through her food.
Love this post – your husband and your friends are blessed to have you in their lives! I’m a brand new blogger but I feel the same way about posting – some days it seems crucial and the next day, I’m not worried about it. Overall, I’m creating a balance. It sounds like you are doing a great job balancing. 🙂
You would be a GREAT mom. And you know where’s a great place to raise a family? Rhode Island 🙂
Sabrina, I just want to tell you how much I enjoyed this post. It was simple, but really said a lot about you. I want you to know that I LOVE your recipes and truly see you as the Martha Stewart of Healthy Living. No pressure 😉 Just saw you’re going to BlogHer! I’m attending the Hood event…do you happen to be going to that?!?
You are so inspiring! I don’t think I ever knew that you lost your mom but I am truly sorry to hear that. You are such a strong woman and I can tell that you still illuminate pieces of her every day in your passion for healthy cooking and food. Thank you for sharing this! 😉
I love the way you just sound like you’re talking out loud in this post… That’s the best kind of writing! I talk/sing to myself all day too since I work from home.
I didn’t know you lost your mom; I’m so sorry. But it’s so nice she inspired you to cook. That’s definitely something my parents have given me too.
It is evident by this post what a thoughtful, loving person you are. Sounds to me like you are going to be as great as motherhood as you are at blogging, wife-ing and friend-ing. How lucky we all are!
I feel the same way about my blog. I really started for myself, but I love being able to show people that they can eat good food and still lose/maintain their weight. It doesn’t have to be about 100 calorie packs and protein bars!
And you are fabulous on camera!
I am sorry for your loss but from your loss, you have gained wisdom and peace rather than misery and ignorance.
I love your blog A LOT and I am so glad and blessed to read and be inspired. ;p
Keep on blogging!!!
I just became a mom this April and it it the most amazing experience in the world!
I love that your blog has such meaning behind it. It means more than just what you ate and that is so great! I am so sorry about the loss of your mom. Also, I love that you talk to yourself all day – I am home with Anna and I talk to her all day (which is really like talking to myself since she is 3months old.)
Great post! My blog focus has shifted – now I am hoping to help new moms balance a new and completely different life with being healthy and having fun!
