Food Porn

Gestational diabetes is no picnic.
Seriously.  Because at picnics, I think they have cake.  They definitely have cake.  Or at least pie.

The good things about knowing I have gestational diabetes are that I am eating healthier and taking good care of my little twinks by watching my carb intake like it's my job.

But because I am human, and a woman, and I like to complain, I am dedicating this post to foods I miss.
And in the process, kicking myself in the ass for posting pictures of food I can't eat.  

That is some sexy cheese.

Who ate my cake?  I swear, I will guillotine your ass.

Chocolate chips wrapped in baked sugar.  mmmmm

Hot dogs, friend in corn bread.  Genius.  People who don't like these are not my friends.

Pasta Carbonara, a carb lovers dream

There are no words to tell you how much I miss you dear golden friends.

I know Thanksgiving was 4 days ago but one piece just wasn't enough.  Even if my piece was the size of a whole pie.

I love you too.  I really do.

And, because I'm a nerd and bored,  I made you a pie chart to understand how much I miss these foods.  Mmmm, pie.

A Personal Thank You

A few weeks ago my friends and family hosted an incredible baby shower for me and the kididdles.  I spent that weekend knocking out thank you notes like it was my job.  

Since then, Josh and I have been lucky to receive more gifts.  So thank you note writing has become sort of a professional hobby.  I know that's an oxymoron but I'm okay with that. 

So today, I've decided to donate my time to the masses to teach you how to write a proper thank you note.  I've taken one of my own thank you notes to use as an example:

Thank you note writing should be easy, fun and personal!

In the days of emails and Evites, I think we've lost the personal touch of a hand written note.  And phone calls on birthdays.  Birthday texts just don't do it for me.  And, bringing cake and casseroles to neighbors.  Why the hell aren't my neighbors bringing me cake?

What is the world coming to?
