It is time for another round-up of wonderful posts that I have enjoyed around the web lately! There is some seriously great stuff out there and I feel privileged to get to experience the world through so many different pairs of eyes.
On Being a Mommy:
Mommy Meltdowns: They Happen to Us All - Oh so easy to relate to! I loved reading this story when my local news first ran it and I loved re-reading it as I am writing this post. I feel as if that post was written in my very own words.
On Finding Fitness and Exercise Balance:
New Research: Getting Ultra Ripped May Make You Ultra Weak - I believe firmly in "all things in moderation" and I could write an entire soap-box post about getting ultra ripped and super lean and all of that jazz... but I think that this lengthy article has some fabulous points and some killer information so I will let you browse Charlotte's hard work.
Intuitive Eating - This is another post that I can relate to and something that I have struggled with. It is a balance that we all want to achieve but seems to continually challenge us in ways we never imagined.
Intuitive Eating Out - I could've yelled at the screen several times on this one, "That's me! I need to do that!" Clare is one of my favorite "real" bloggers.
Reduction in Magazine Reading - Although I don't personally read "popular" magazines I thought that Annette brought up some really good points and gave me some great food for thought with this post.
On Obtaining True Glory:
I first saw this pinned by FitFluential on Pinterest. I love following FitFlutential - they have a lot of motivating quotes and ideas. Diane Sanfilippo from Practical Paleo has this exactly right! And it is applicable to all walks of life.
On Learning from the Past and Inspiration:
Using the Past to Heal the Future: Learning One of the Hardest Lessons - 9 years later - I loved how open and honest this post was and how much it struck me. It is nice to know that there are still so many seriously good people in this world that are working hard to live life right.
My UNC Classmate Maria's Story: Losing 50 Pounds and Keeping it Off - I love it when bloggers are real. This woman is beautifully real and I wish that I knew her in real life!
On Having a Positive Attitude:
22 Things Happy People Do Differently - I seriously need to work on #9 and #13...
Boost Your Body Image: Self-Love and Acceptance at Any Size - There are some excellent suggestions in this article and several of them definitely resonated with me.
On Intimacy in Marriage:
The 72 Hour Club: A Man's Perspective: The Without - I can't begin to say how much I loved this article. It gave me an entirely new outlook on this issue when it was written from a man's point of view. I really feel like this article helped me to personally understand how my husband works better.
QUESTIONS FOR MY DEAR READERS: Have you found an article, quote, or story on the web lately that you just loved? Did any of these links resonate with you?

Spreading the Love
I follow a lot of blogs from around the web and I get LOTS of emails every single day with updates from those blogs. I like to find new recipes, get inspired, or just read something that speaks to my heart. A lot of what I get doesn't get saved in any way but there are a few blog posts in particular that I have really loved lately:
On Physical Health & Nutrition:
How to Correctly Count Calories - I never thought about this but from a scientific standpoint her method totally makes sense!
The Power of the Number - Cassie has some amazing insight on the issue of weight.
Cream Cheese Stuffed Coffee Cake - Although there is a recipe on this post I particularly enjoyed what Katie had to say about living a balanced life of 80/20. I also love her post about Processed foods and Soybeans and Tofu - oh my! - She echoes my sentiments to a T.
5 Things That Mindful Eaters Never Say - I just really love the idea of mindful eating and it is something I am working hard on in my own life.
NEDA Week 2013 & Loving Yourself - Another great post about being mindful about our bodies and not letting our false beliefs crowd out the beautiful truth about us.
On Delicious Looking Recipes:
Chicken & White Bean Chili Soup - Confession... I am not much of a soup person and definitely not a white bean soup person but this soup looks delicious! I will take her idea from another post and add some veggies as well.
Sweet & Spicy Carrot Bisque - Wow. Two soups in a row? I guess you aren't really believing me on the "not a soup person" bit, huh? But I love carrots. So there.
Egg White Crust - This is an oldie but a goodie. This is my go to crust for personal pizzas. I use 2 T nutritional yeast instead of the egg white protein powder and the ground flaxseed instead of oat flour.
Thai Chicken Quinoa - Her pictures are so amazing it is hard to not want to make absolutely everything she posts about. But this recipe looks especially good. I am a sucker for Thai food.
Grain & Nut Free Banana Bread - I adore banana bread but no gluten + no refined sugar = NO GO for me. This one uses dates and coconut flour. I am intrigued!
Cilantro Pesto Meatballs with Enchilada Sauce - A gluten free meatball recipe? It's a miracle!
On Emotional Health & Relationships:
When the Spotlight on Intimacy Shifts - this is an excellent article about keeping intimacy alive in our marriages. I loved reading this article.
How to be Nicer... to Yourself - A great reminder for all of us!
On Motivation:
I Could Never - This post really resonated with me on a day I really needed the extra encouragement.
On Having Fun:
What I (Would) Eat Wednesday - Have I mentioned how much I love Lindsay? Her posts frequently are the highlight of my day. This indulgent post hits home in many ways. What would I eat Wednesday if there was nothing holding me back including gluten and sugar intolerances? Tres Leches. Lots and LOTS of it!
Xtend Barre SLC - Definitely a class I want to try out! My girlfriends - Geneva and Amy - are going to take me to experience this lovely burn sometime this month.
QUESTION FOR MY DEAR READERS: Do you have any blogs that you love to follow? Did any of these articles stick out to you?
