Reader Poll
I have a couple question to ask you dear readers, but first . . .
Today was Sophia’s 2nd Birthday Party!![]()
Sophia is my cousin Lauren’s (the one that won BOTH holiday dessert contests) daughter. We went over to their neighborhood to celebrate.
Chris and I were starving by the time we got there and because of that, we definitely over did it and we are still full hours later!
Afterwards we checked out the new Trader Joe’s that opened in that area. The closest TJ’s to us is near Philly and one in NYC. I’m excited to have one here but apparently so is everyone else! It was their 2nd day open and it was PACKED. We went through a few isles and decided to put everything back and wait to go another time. We’re not fans of crowds . . .
Anyway, I have been a busy bee with all I have going on and I want to make sure I’m having fun with blogging and also giving my readers what they want.
What would you like to see more of on Balancing Val?
* Daily Life Posts (meals, classes, ect.)
* Recipes, Natural Foods Education
* Balancing Money Tips
* All of the above
Truth is, I could probably post more of my daily activities and meals but I’m not sure if you would find that too boring. I often draft posts and end up not feeling that they are good enough or fit in . . . Those are the misfit posts. However, if I did post them there would be more to read and maybe that is something that would interest you.
So if you could please hit up the comments and let me know what you think I’d greatly appreciate it. Don’t be shy!!
ALSO
My Balancing Money series has fallen a bit by the wayside and I KNOW all of you have some great money saving tips out there. If you have something you would like to share about money (tips, tricks, how you do your finances, ect) I would LOVE to have you guest post!
Email val@balancingval.com if you would like to participate. Don’t be shy here either!!
I am off to try and make myself fall asleep. As you may know, I wake up at 5am for class on Sunday mornings so with daylight savings its going to be like waking up at 4am!! You bet your ass im getting my coffee non-decaf tomorrow! ![]()





Hey-thanks for putting up pics from the party! I like the pink/blue theme on your blog. You are really doing a nice job with your blog AND it’s gotten me into reading other blogs. Anyway, I like your daily life stuff the best, go figure. P.s. Tell Marie and Chris they can pick up Clifford juice at there local $tree. Take that, trader joes!
Thanks!
What other blogs do you read?
You should start one . . . I can make a nice theme for ya!
Oh and where can I tell Marie and Chris where to get the same brand diapers they stole from Sophia?
I vote for all of the above as long as it’s not too much work for you. I like hearing a little bit of everything, and your life always seems so much more interesting (and hectic than mine).
Thanks for the input, I’m going to try and do more daily stuff
Oh and I KNOW you have some good money tips! Have anything you want to contribute as a guest post?
Hm, I’ll have to think of something, maybe just my story of how I stopped being financially moronic… I work on something and let you know
That works!
Thanks and keep me updated
I like to read about intuitive/mindful eating, as well as making peace with food and yourself.
Thanks for your input, Jill!!
All of the above! But healthy food posts would be interesting as well as how you manage to be around food all day and not eat it all.)
I’d like to read more of any of those! … I know, I’m so not helpful!
But I mean it.
