Thank you Karina <3
I made a playlist on my Ipod for our party today (in lieu of having a traditional wedding reception, we are having a party for our family and friends) and "Coyote" by Joni (not Joan Mitchell is on there. I will raise a toast to you during that song!

Hey Kim!
I dig the novel. You can write novels over here whenever you desire
Thanks for sharing that about the MSG. Another item that I have heard is that many Chinese restaurants will say “no ADDED MSG” but the ingredients they use already have MSG in them. Very misleading.
And really interesting about your son as well! Just another example that we are all metabolic snowflakes…

I’m so happy for you! Remember to have fun. So many women forget that their wedding day is about being with their partner and having fun like they always did before.

As to the eating clean article, summary: It’s all about the bulk of what you eat. That’s what my partner is always telling me!

Erin, congratulations, my friend! Sending you wonderful wedding wishes and years full of love and happiness!
A beautiful post and I love this week’s round-up!!
I actually was put into pre-term labor at 32 weeks because I ate at a Chinese Restaurant that I later found out used mega-doses of MSG. I have always known that it messes with me from the time I was a kid and would eat Chinese food (growing up in San Fran we ate at a lot of Chinese Rest.) So when I was preggo I tried to be really careful. This restaurant originally claimed that they did not use it, but then retracted that comment. Anyway, it landed me in the hospital for a couple of days while they tried to stop my labor. Since then, I avoid it like the plague!!!!
Have an even more interesting story about my youngest son and L-glutamine! My naturopath gave us an L-glutamine supplement to use as a gut-healing aid. I was putting it in our smoothies. Within one week of using it, my husband and oldest son were doing better than I have EVER seen either of them, but my youngest (3 year old) had developed the worst stutter I had ever heard. Later found out that the L-glutamine was working too well and had over-stimulated his whole neuro-pathways. Within one week of stopping the supplement his stuttering went away!! It was a very interesting episode for us, to say the least.
Anyway, Hugs to you! And best wishes.

Hi Shirley!
We are so looking forward to the trip. The leaves should be changing, and we will certainly get some hiking in.
The dress-it’s strapless and fitted through the bodice, but it has A LOT of skirt I have a crinoline and the whole 9.
Thanks YOU for posting great stuff I get to link to!

Oh, Erin, I’m so very happy that your big day is almost here! The Smokey Mtns this time of year will be beyond beautiful and I know you all will be equally gorgeous for your wedding with those big smiles plastered on your faces (even the dog!) and the fall foliage as a backdrop! That party with friends and family to return to sounds awesome, too. I just read your comment about your dress taking up a lot of space. Woohoo, sounds like you got a true girly dress … good for you!

Thanks for sharing my link and the rest look wonderful, too!

Much love and best wishes,
Shirley
