TGFA
Hi friends <3 How are you? Hope you’re having a lovely morning!
It’s moving day!!! We’re loading up my dadoo’s flatbed trailer he lent us and starting to make trips to the new house. Cleaners are coming, locksmith, alarm guy, cable/internet… it’s going to be crazy and amazeballz 🙂
Breakfast:
Oatmeal pancakes: look great, taste horrible. Not one of my best creations :/
I’ll be back later today with tons of pictures, but before I go, I wanted to tell ya’ll about the Great Fundraising Act.
Through blogging, I’ve been able to meet and connect with so many amazingly talented, intelligent, witty, and fun people. I always think about how fortunate I am to be a part of such an incredible community and for the friendships I’ve created through the blog world. Whenever a blogger draws attention to a particular cause or event, the blog world quickly takes action to demonstrate their support.
Now a fellow blogger needs our help <3
You may be familiar with Susan’s blog: The Great Balancing Act. Susan is 25 years old, hilariously funny, and I’ve enjoyed reading her blog for the past couple of years. I missed out on a few months of posts, and then I received an email stating that Susan was diagnosed with lymphoma and that there would be a fundraising event in her honor to help with medical costs. Immediately, I went over to her blog to read the story, cried until I didn’t have any tears left and said a prayer that she’d continue to be strong, brave, and kick this thing’s ass.
You can read more about her journey in these posts:
- A Long Hard Road
- Cancer, Day One
- How to Make the Sick Sicker
- You Are What You Eat
- Some Cancer Questions Answered
- Lymphoma, Explained
- What Floor Is This
She’s blogging throughout the entire experience, and the attitude she’s been able to maintain is truly inspirational.
The auction just started this morning and the bidding ends tonight. There is a crazyawesome amount of items to bid on (you can check out the list *here*), including some of my faves:
-Livewell 360
-Physique 57
-Babycakes cookbook
-Bob’s Red Mill
-lululemon groove pants
I also donated a batch of custom macaroons and a TJs/Whole Foods goodie package 🙂
I’ll ship worldwide, too. If you’d like to bid, *here’s the link*. You know I hook my goodie package winners up 😉
Off to move and shake. See ya later today!
xoxo

Big Congrats and Good Luck on moving day!!!!!! love you!
I’m excited for….all of them. I’m kind of a bidding machine. Hopefully my bank account won’t mind since it’s for a good cause. haha
oo! I see TJ’s dried mango slices in there! Those are some of my faves! I also picked up some of their frozen mango halves to make protein smoothies with, my favorite so far: banana, blueberry, and mango mmmm
Good luck with moving and officially congratulations on the new house! How exciting!
Good luck with moving, I cant wait to try sunwarrior!!
Those oatmeal pancakes do look great! I just made some wheat free, egg free oatmeal pancakes (allergies 🙁 ) the other day and it took me forever to perfect the recipe!
Have a good Monday 🙂
Good luck with the move! Can’t wait to see all the photos! 😀
And at least the oatmeal pancakes looked good, even if they didn’t taste it, lol! One out of two ain’t bad! 😉 xyx
Yeah! Moving day! It’s been a long time coming. Can’t wait to see picts of your new abode, and then you finally can start nesting 😉
You better believe I have already bid on your package 🙂 I hope I can score something for this great cause!
Hope the moving goes well! So glad to be part of the great fundraising act!
Girl you should sell those Macaroons, they are always sky high in the bidding. I’m drying to get a taste of just one. 😉
Good luck with the move!
Good luck today and can’t wait to see the pics! 🙂
Sorry to hear that the oatmeal pancakes didn’t turn out well. Like you said, they look delicious! My all-time favorite healthy and filling pancake recipe is still your “Perfect Protein Pancakes.” SO YUMMY! I had them for breakfast (again) yesterday! 🙂
Good luck with your move today!
Good luck moving!
I think the outpouring of support via the blog community for TGFA has been incredible… THis is such a wonderful group to be a part of for that very reason, and I’m looking forward to getting to know more bloggers. 🙂
Have fun with your BIG move!! Such an exciting life moment! I’m about to check out the SW promo – sis recently went vegan so I might be ordering some for her as well!
Hope the move goes well!
I am sending all my love and heart felt prayers her way. Thank you for posting on this!
Happy Moving Day!
I too cried my eyes out reading Susan’s posts. I have been praying for her too.
Just want to double check…I checked out the Protein offer. No shipping to Canada?? 🙁
So exciting that yall are moving! I’d love to get some of your macaroons but they are a bit out of my price range :). That’s a good thing though!
Happy moving day! There are so many amazing items up for auction…this is the greatest auction ever!
woohoo! those look fabulous 🙂 can’t wait to get some of your macaroons!
Wow! The bid is already up to $310 for your macaroons 🙁
I was hoping to get them, but $310+ is too much..
Susan is such an amazing and inspiring woman. ahhh SUN WARRIOR PROMO
You sold me on the ” I ship worldwide” I would love a goodie bag from the gorgeous gina from fitnessista. I feel like I would actually be one step closer to the bloggin’ world and not just my virtual reality. I live in Queenstown, New Zealand.
