A Little Saturday Sunshine

Today is a beautiful, sunny day in Pennsylvania!  I think I'll go for a run later.  Speaking of sunshine, guess what I was nominated for...
The Sunshine Award!

The Sunshine Award is a nod given to blogs that inspire or bring sunshine to one's day. It's an opportunity for those bloggers to then share a little personal information with readers. Thank you, Nick from Sweet Rhyme Pure Reason, for nominating me.

• I have the sweetest husband and three great kids.
• I have a serious sweet tooth for cupcakes, brownies, and pastries. Mmm. I'll be right back...
• I don't eat my vegetables.
• I worked at Hershey Park for one day.
