Guys….today is a very special day.
Remember when I reviewed the book How to Love an American Man on the blog last November? I LOVED that book and have actually re-read it twice since. Since then, the lovely author, Kristine Gasbarre, and I have formed a sweet and wonderful friendship. If you’ve read her book, let me assure you that Krissy is just as sweet and genuine as she comes off on the page. She was even kind enough to read an advanced copy of my own book and write a blurb for the back cover!
So, about a week ago, Krissy contacted me with a fun and unique idea. She asked me if I would be interested in hosting a giveaway for her! She had the thoughtful idea of giving away two Barnes and Noble Simple Touch Glow Nooks already pre-loaded with her book, How to Love an American Man, for Mother’s Day. How fun is that?!
The winner of this giveaway will receive two Nook eReaders—-one for you to keep and one to give to your mom, grandma, aunt, sister or whoever you choose to celebrate Mother’s Day with.
Winner will be chosen at random Friday night at 10pm PST. To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling me how your day is going! I’m still home sick but looking forward to being cheered up by reading all your comments!
This giveaway is sponsored by Kristine Gasbarre. No purchase necessary to enter and win. Giveaway only open to legal residents of The United States. Eat, Live, Run is not affiliated with giveaway sponsor and, thus, is not responsible for late or lost-in-transit prizes. Winner will be chosen at random.

It’s 6:10am here and I’m headed out for a trail run… and I woke up to discover I finally beat the cold I’ve been battling for 2 weeks. Things are looking up! Feel better, Jenna.
Up early to pump some milk for my daughter (TMI?!), ’bout to go catch some more sleep before she wakes up…one training session at the gym, then I get to spend the entire day with her. I’d say I’m set up for a great day! Thanks for the opportunity!
So far, my day is going well – just woke up early work out before work!

Almost 7am here, having coffee and wondering what is making an intermittent beeping noise (dying smoke detector? spider in the CO alarm? the cat looking for a different breakfast?)
Well, it’s almost 7:00 am here in Florida and things are ok so far… I’m in grad school, and my last two papers of the semester are due today and tomorrow, so I’m a little stressed, but it’s going to be warm and sunny today, and that always makes me feel better during hectic, crazy times.
My day is not bad so far. Got in to the office at 6 am, have a final at noon, and I’m enjoying some uber strong coffee. Hope you feel better Jenna

My day is going great – and I LOVED How to Love an American Man – and bought a couple copies fas gifts for Christmas.
SO nice! Thanks Jenna (and Krissy). My day is off to a great start-my little one is still asleep an hour later than usual, which means momma gets to enjoy her coffee before this day gets into full swing.
Hope you have a good one!
Oh! The days where you get to have your coffee before everyone else wakes up are the best!
I’m at work but feeling sick. I’m hoping that a weekend of rest coming up will clear me right up! I would love to have an e-reader!
My day has started with some homemade blueberry muffins and I’m about to head to the gym. It’s getting off to a good start so far!
Considering I just woke up and am drinking coffee in peace, I’d say my day is pretty awesome. But with a newborn and a toddler waking up anytime, things can change quickly!
I can’t believe I didn’t know you had a book coming out! That’s so exciting!!
Happy humpday! Today is great… I am looking forward to Aerial Yoga tonight… can’t wait!
I’m already up for work. But the good news is the baby who isn’t really a baby anymore, she’s almost 2, slept through the night as opposed to yesterday when she thought it was a great idea to work on her animal noises at 4 in the morning.
My morning is going well. The sunny is shining and I am excited my mom is coming to visit tomorrow. It will be my first Mother’s Day as a mom and she will also be here.
Hope you feel better soon!

My day is going good so far… I am in the final few weeks of pregnancy with our first baby and I can’t wait to be a Mom.

I can picture using the e-reader often when up late and often with our baby… Hope you feel better soon.

I have to admit I have had better days seeing is how I found out I fractured my heel bone the other day. But my family and mainly my mother have been the rocks in my life and are giving me so much support and love there is not enough thank-yous in the world for them. And because of them I am able to stay positive and happy so I choose today to be a good day.

I have started the day off with a great workout and now I am off to tackle the day. Feel better!
My day just started. It’s always crazy in the morning. Feeding, dressing, and getting little kids out the door is hard’
My day is beautiful! I’m on vacation with my husband of 37 years enjoying the white sand and Mediterranean blue/green waters of Panama City Beach, Fl.

Feel better soon.

My day is going good, went to body pump at 6:45 a.m. and am getting excited about graduating law school in a week!
In spite of the pouring rain outside, I’m having a great day so far. Woke up early…4am…that happens sometimes. But I got right to work on blogging and doing some preliminary updating for some blog changes. I’m reading lots of blogs and leaving lots of comments. It would be great to win the two Nooks and if I did, I’d share it with my sister, Ele. Our Mom is gone and she lost her daughter to cancer 5 years ago. We always spend Mother’s Day together. Thanks for the chance to enter the giveaway. Have a great day!
Today can only improve on a rough yesterday
My day is going well! I woke up to 2 kitties walking all over me so I’d get up and my windows look out to the trees outside, so it was like I woke up in a tree house! Lovely!
My day is going okay so far… lots of boring meetings this morning. Hope it gets better later tonight!
I have the day off. The coffee pot is full and I am about 15 pages into my new book, Cutting For Stone. It’s gonna be a great day!
It’s early, but my day is going great! I work then tutor later
It’s finals week at my college so I am stressed beyond belief! I have one more paper to write and it’s time to get into productivity mode!
Been cold and rainy all week here, dragging today.
Hope you feel better Jenna! It’s farmers market day later this afternoon…I’m hoping to get off work early enough to make it there on time. These past few weeks have been super hectic, so I’m hoping for a quiet and peaceful day! Ha!
My day is awesome! I got engaged yesterday and couldn’t be happier! Love the blog!
Our day just began with overnight oats! On the agenda: bathing suit shopping (eeek!) with my 1 and 2 year old boys (double eeeek!) and a trip to Costco for toilet paper. Exciting times around here. Hope you feel better!!
So far, so good, here in Ohio.
My day is already hectic, I have a meeting at 8:30 and barely enough time to shovel some coffee and food into my face.
Great day so far! But still a long to do list ahead…
i’m eating eleven madison park granola and a large coffee for breakfast, which i think is the start to any great day. thanks for the giveaway opportunity, jenna!
My usual morning routine (the only relaxing part of my day). Breakfast (this morning I randomly wanted eggs instead of my usual oatmeal), email & blog reading. Then dragging myself away from the breakfast table to officially start my Wednesday.
My day is going well so far – winning these AWESOME Nooks for my mom and I would make it even better
I just finished up my first year of grad school – so life is good! I read your blog every day – I really enjoy reading your posts and trying your recipes – just made the detox salad yesterday! Thanks for a chance to win these – take care 
My day is starting off great. My baby slept until 7am so there was plenty of time to have breakfast and get my self ready for the day before she woke up.
In the middle of law school exams, but it’s a beautiful day outside and one week from today I will be done!
Life is Good. It has started off with coffee and cream, a kiss from my husband and the business of three boys getting ready for school. I am thankful for my family today.
What an amazing give away! It’s early, but I know it’s going to be a good day. Shortly I’m on my way to the airport to pick up my parents who are coming to town for my graduation from my master’s program!
My day started off in a bit of a rush since I overslept, but the weather is beautiful and overall it’s going well so far! Awesome giveaway too!
I’m tired but happy today. Tonight I get a private lesson from my friend who is in Yoga Teacher Training. Private yoga class for the win!
So far my day is off to a good start! I just enjoyed some oatmeal and coffee. It is going to be a busy day – my twins have their 6 month well baby appointment today.
I’ve been up since 5am. I tried falling back asleep but decided that making a hot bowl of banana whipped oatmeal would help me get my day started. Now, I’m ready for the day to begin!
My day is going to be long and tiring, but it will be well worth it! I am running our school book fair this week, and tonight is our Family Night Event. I have a 12 hour day ahead of me surrounded by kids ten and under, but their excitment over reading is well worth the long hours I will put it in this week.
My mom is a huge reader too, and her love of books inspired my own love of books, which has led to my current job as an elementary school library worker.
Hi Jenna! My day is stressful but trying to focus on all the positive things!!!

My husband is working from home today, so I’d say it’s off to a great start!
My day is even so far. Got to sleep in late (upside), gate code was changed at work so I couldn’t get into my parking garage without calling for help (downside). I’m hoping the upside wins out . . . which it should since I teach yoga tonight!
my day is going pretty well… just hopped into bed after finishing my night shift. sweet dreams!
So far so good, although I didn’t want to get out of my bed this morning after my son crawled in to cuddle. Must. do. work.

My day has just begun!
My day is even so far. I got to sleep in late (upside) but when I got to work the gate code had been changed overnight and I had to call for help to get into my parking garage (downside). I’m hoping the upside wins out at the end of the day . . .

It’s a little after 8am here and I got in my workout, finished breakfast and coffee, and am preparing for teaching a half day to 5th graders, followed by parent-teacher conferences the rest of the day, and attending a scholarship ceremony tonight for deserving students going off to college. Should be a rewarding day (well except for those students who didn’t do so well on their report cards!)!
My day is good! (well, morning has been good I should say) Woke up to a thunderstorm and was able to roll out of bed onto the couch to read for a while. I don’t think it could be much better!
Wow! What a great giveaway! I would LOVE to be the lucky winner on this one.
My day is actually almost over. I work nights at our local hospital, so even though it’s 6:15 where I am it’s just about bedtime for me! Been an easy night though, so no complaints here.
I’m sick too
Unfortunately, I still had to go into work because I am saving up all of my vacation time for my wedding (!!!) next month (!!!).
Day is going well. Routine so far, but status quo is just fine by me!
My day…is hungry! I haven’t eaten breakfast yet, even though I’m already at the office. Ack!
I hope you feel better! My day is great full of reading and working!
Just went for a run…drinking my coffee…watching Strawberry Shortcake (flashback to the 80′s) with my 5 year old. Great morning, so far!
Good morning Jenna! The sun will soon be shining… take care of yourself today:)

my wife always tells me i should read more…an i want to!!! i don’t have a e-reader…the 2nd one will go to my wife. she deserves it more then me for taking care and raisinf a 2 year old girl (katelyn) and now a 3 month old baby boy (landon) …..she has gone well above the call of duty of your typical mom…….she is the best!!

My day is going and going! Last week of class at Wellesley with final exams just around the corner! It’s just the last stretch until summer break. I can’t wait for the lazy summer nights, watermelons and farmer’s market at home!!!
I’m stuck in a tiny hot room loading up new servers for our project, and reading blogs in my spare time. I would love to give the ereader to my girlfriend for Mothers Day.
So far so good today, but I’m barely up! Lots to accomplish!
So far my day is good! It’s that quiet time of the morning when my husband has left for work and my son is still asleep and I am relaxing with a cup of coffee, catching up on my favorite blogs and watching whatever trashy show Tivo has recorded for me. Bliss!
Having a great day so far.
My day is going well so far, but it is still early! =)
I have a hot cup of coffee in my hands, which is usually a good start to the day. I’m all caught up on emails and hope to have a productive day!

I am about to make your Lime Squares to take a friend that just had a baby

Hi Jenna! I think this is SUCH a great idea for a giveaway! I’ve decided to take the day off work today, and my plan is to sit around at home and read all day (plus a yoga class, of course). Hope you feel better!
It’s still early (only about 8:30am), but the day is off to a lovely start thus far! I’m currently enjoying a cup of great coffee which will always brighten my day!
This giveaway is perfectly on time! I was just looking into different reading tablets.
My day is going wonderfully. I actually woke up after three hours of sleep and couldn’t fall back asleep, so I just read for a little while until breakfast. I hadn’t enjoyed a nice, quiet breakfast in awhile, so that was really enjoyable.
Today is going to be a fantastic day! It is finally looking like it will warm up here in the northeast. I am going to enjoy today to the fullest!
Wow, I can’t believe how many comments you have! I hope you feel better soon! My Mom would LOVE this reader, if I don’t win your giveaway, I may get her one for Mother’s Day anyway!
I got to work early and I’m about to fix myself a cup of fruity black tea, which is one of my favorite parts of my day. So, I’d say my morning is going pretty well!

Just getting my day started…I’ve got a pretty bad head cold, but other than that, I’m looking forward to playing with my sweet girls today!
I loved this book so so much! My day will be going just fine as soon as I finish my coffee
Hope your feeling better soon. I read How to Love an American Man based on your review and I loved it! Today is a beautiful day in Florida….only wishing I was not at work and able to soak up the sun poolside.
I’m at work this morning (I’m a high school librarian) and planning a trip to Barnes and Noble this afternoon to purchase more books for our collection
Having a great day so far! Not so nice out but that’s ok
It’s storming here, but it makes being at work easier. Plus, it’s a little soothing!

The day is going well. Got up early to take a walk with my Goldendoodle puppy. If you haven’t seen a Goldendoodle, google it. They are so adorable and will brighten your day. I also made some oatmeal with diced apples, honey, cinnamon and pecans.
Great sunshine day!
My day is great so far. I’m a teacher, and today we’re going on a field trip, so that’s a little change of scenery which is nice at the end of the year!
I have this book on my “to-read” list, and I can’t wait for *your* book! So exciting
And my day isn’t going too awesome – I’m in a Zyrtec fog and hoping to knock whatever allergy/cold is currently residing inside my sinuses! Hope you’re feeling better.
I’m about to bake triple butterscotch blondes, my day is sweet!

dark chocolate chip cheddar grilled cheese for breakfast. now that’s a good way to start the day!
My day is great so far! We had crazy storms here overnight and although I kept waking up to a flurry of wind, rain & thunder, I feel surprisingly energized. Maybe it’s that I’ve been sticking to my workout schedule as planned….or maybe it was your carmelized brussel sprouts we had last night with dinner. Either way it’s a great day! Hope you feel better!

so far so good today, kids fed, lunches packed, off to school with smiles on their faces…sitting here procrastinating – my abs are crying just thinking about that pilates reformer they have a date with in 10 minutes! after i get to go help a sweet little chatty 2nd grader learn to read better – not looking forward to 90+ degrees today…it’s too early for that much heat!
What a great giveaway! Just finished the last book from my recent library run and am looking for a good, new book to start!

I would love to have a Nook – have always wanted one, but I haven’t been able to indulge myself yet!
Your blog continues to inspire me!
So far, I am having a great day. I teach 8th grade, and my students are really enjoying a book that we are reading in class (The Ghost Belonged To Me).

Beautiful day here in North Carolina! Hope you feel better soon!
i was just pondering mom’s day gifts and this is an amazing idea!
my day is going OK, the sun is out here after some bad storms last night and i have a lunch date with one of my best friends
It’s a rainy Thursday morning here, but a big cup of coffee and the fact that the weekend is around the corner, makes it a great day.
My day is going “OK” so far. It is still early. Hopefully the sun will come out like yesterday. It is a gloomy day in NJ.
It’s a grey, rainy day here outside of DC, but today is a good day, because I’ll be having a new roommate, a new kitchen, and a new area of DC to explore soon. I just signed up for my first CSA with Earth Springs CSA, too, and I’m excited for all the wonderful food I’ll be receiving this summer. Enjoy your day!
My day was going wonderfully for a while. Despite the high humidity my curly hair dried well and i was actually running 15 minutes early! Then i hit road construction and they had put a stop sign at a huge intersection which turned into a game of “quien es mas macho?”.
My day is going GREAT! One week agoyesterday I lost a very close family member and was distraught. The day after my loss my husband was hospitalized. I felt like things couldn’t be worse. Yesterday my husband was discharged. I have my husband and three sons all under one roof again and I feel blessed….even on this rainy Wednesday. Family makes my world go ’round ;0)
Good day so far – getting ready for a visit from my mom!
It’s a rainy Thursday morning, but a big cup of coffee and the fact that the weekend is around the corner, make it a great day.
great day in boston! (a little rainy & cloudy) but great day nonetheless.
I can’t complain about today! I am getting my picture taken to go on the soccer roster today, I’m going to work at the praline shop, and then hopefully going on my 5 mile jog around the Battery (hoping I have the energy after I get off work). I just read that waking up to green tea helps to boost immunity and so do mushrooms in your salad!
My day is okay so far. I’ve been going through a rough few weeks (my bf and I broke up and I’m trying to find a new place to stay and will basically be starting a new life), but I’ve found that being positive and appreciating the little things in my life that I love so much make everything better. I am a lucky girl.
Sarah, I’m saying a prayer for you and wishing you healing and comfort. God knows what’s ahead for you, and He never steers us wrong when we open ourselves to his will. “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.” -E.M. Forester

It’s a rainy and dreary day here in NYC but I plan to make the most of staying indoors and be super productive at work today! Feel better, Jenna. Thanks for hosting such an awesome giveaway!

Not too bad for a Wednesday!
I’m already wishing it was 4:30 so I could leave work for the day and go home to play with my puppy!!
My day is looking long. Babysitting 4 of my nieces and nephew…with my 2 kids in tow, for 9 more days. 3 of them under 3. Needless to say, we’ve been up since 5 but at least we’ve had some pretty good laughs so far and some good breakfast too.
My day is okay — I’m editing for our book that is DUE to our publisher in 13 days. EEK!
Day will be great! Last Wednesday of my undergraduate career at Marquette University…bittersweet, but enjoying every last second.
I woke up this morning to rainbows all over the ceiling in my bedroom, the sun hit the crystals in my light-shade at the perfect spot, it was a beautiful way to start the day!
I’m having the best day! I’ve been given much more responsibility at work and was able to snatch up an adorable dress during my lunch break. I hope the rest of the week continues this way!
Had a great workout with my husband before work and enjoying this gorgeous weather! Never heard of that book…makes me excited to add it to my list!
I am sitting in the sun drinking coffee, one part french vanilla starbucks, one part french roast – yummy! Couldn’t be a better way to start the day.

Today (this whole week) is pretty awful, but I get to see my mom this weekend!
The weather is all gloom and doom outside, so I’m catching up on a good book.
I am very tired today!
It’s a cloudy day here in Québec – The usual rush to get the daughters out the door in time for school and daycare.
In the middle of finals for graduate school, 3 to go! Super stressful but its almost summer! reading recipes on your blog helps me to stop gravitating between coffee and whatever I can find in my fridge during my study breaks and try something new! Hope your day gets better!
I just started weight watchers today. I’ll let you be the judge.
My hump-day is off to a great start! I read How to Love an American Man once before, but I think it will be added to my summer rereads. Thanks!
Well, I spilled my coffee all over my coworker already this morning. BUT I get to visit my best friend’s sweet newborn baby boy tonight, so the day can only get better! Thanks for hosting this!
Hi Jenna! First of all, I love your blog so much, and I read it daily! You are truly an inspiration to me on how to live your life balancing healthy eating, a little naughty fun, and happiness. My day will start off getting my flat tire changed, then heading to the gym for a morning session. Then I’m taking a leaf out of your naughty fun book and making margaritas to sip by the pool with friends all the day long!
Just another rainy/misty day in Boston
Hoping to get some work done and then hit the gym!
Oh my mum would love this, but i’d have to borrow it too read that book!
What a wonderful giveaway from Krissy! I would love to give my Mom an e-reader and win one too. I got my love of reading from her. Can’t complain today as I’m at work as usual and glad to have a job. Feel better soon.
Today is a restful day off for me from subbing for highschool and jr high! Ready to cook, sip lots of coffee, and go on a run.
My day is going really well! My fiance and I are closing on our new house this Friday so this week has been full of excitement. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Oh, I have been wanting one of these forever! My techno-phobe mom would even learn to use it, I bet!
my day is starting out with a midterm and a paper due this afternoon! this giveaway is awesome, thank you!
So far, I have only accomplished eating breakfast. Pretty soon I’ll be getting ready for a half day of work as a substitute teacher!
Let’s just say I am very thankful for the very large iced coffee I have sitting at my desk this morning. Life. Saver.
Day is great so far. I’m ignoring the humidity and refuse to let it get me down. Got ready for work, had a snuggle with my new puppy, and now off to a great start! Hope you feel better soon, Jenna!
Just starting my day but its going to be a busy one with wedding errands!
My day has been okay thus far. It’s rainy and cold in NYC so I’d much rather be home snuggled in my comforter with my book than at my desk right now. BUT I’m sporting a new haircut so that brings some excitement into my life (it really is the little things!)
Despite the gloomy weather here in Boston, my day’s off to a sunny start. Running into familiar faces at my morning coffee shop always helps!
my day is going well. i need to be cleaning out my bedroom of junk, as we are about to move, but instead i am catching up on all my food blogs! and i too love that book! Since you are friends with her, ask her if she ended up with him or not!
My day will be amazing! Last day of class and you just gave me a fabulous idea for a new book before my next class starts. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
My day is going well. It’s a gorgeous warm day in NC and I just finished my breakfast berry-spinach smoothie. Off to a good start!!
Last day of class…EVER! Just relaxing in my pajamas until I have to go to class. I’m predicting it’s gonna be a pretty sweet day.
I am looking forward to having a productive day – and am wearing a brand spankin new skirt and pair of heels! With a cup of my favorite tea, today is shaping up nicely.
Today is going to be a good day. Only three more classes before I can officially say grad school is over. And… I’m going to happy hour with a former colleague tonight. Looking forward to catching up!
My day is pretty dull so far, since I am at work (shh don’t tell). I look forward to getting out of work hitting the gym. Feel better Jenna!
My mom and I are both avid readers, so this would be great for both of us!!!
Hi, Jenna, I hope you feel better very soon! Also, I love reading your blog and must thank you for your delicious Thai firepot soup recipe – it is simply the best. Take care.
Yesterday was plain awful, as the song from Annie goes (don’t ask me why that’s in my head). So I am grateful it’s another day and I’ve just had a huge hug in a bowl (aka oatmeal with greek yogurt and applesauce — I know; I’m weird.)
It’s rainy and cold in SoCal but I have to get going to school- it’s my last week of my first year of vet school! I’d love this gift for my mom- I’d give them both to my parents who have supported me through a long and tough first year.
feel better!
So far my day is going well. I got a deliverable out for work in rapid time, which afforded me a few minutes to catch up on your blog
Also, I’m moving from Baltimore to Washington, DC in 3 days and I can’t wait!
I actually got to sleep past 5 am today, so I’m feeling pretty optimistic about the rest of the day!
What a great giveaway! My day is so-so. I have a lot of work to do and I’m trying not to get overwhelmed!
My day is great so far! I got a good work out in and am actually excited to start my day!
My day is going well, hot coffee, delicious breakfast, and beautiful weather!
My day has started off fantastic! I just finished a big project at work, and survived a difficult conversation I was not looking forward to. And today is one of my roommates’ birthdays, and one of my best friends is giving birth to her baby boy right now! It is going to be a great day!
Wow! What an amazing giveaway! I’m wrapping up the last few days as a graduate student…woohoo! Graduation is on Sunday
Looking forward to a warm sunny May day and planting flowers with my little one and hubby tonight!
I’m just getting started with my day, ready to go teach classes, and looking forward to a beautiful, sunny, summery day.
My day is off to a slow start – its cold and rainy in Boston and it was really tough getting up this morning!
Enjoying my day off in Minneapolis, ready for some 80 degree weather!
Needed a quick break from all those work e-mails. Wow – cool giveaway. My wife would LOVE one. Second one to me…. or Mother-In-Law……… hmmmmm
Working all day but it’s okay because during slow times I have a chance to read… right now I’m reading “The Lost Wife.” Thanks for the suggestion!
Hoping today will be productive! Wednesdays usually allow me the most time to complete tasks for work and I get home early enough to fit in a run before dinner!
Kristine is so nice. She actually took the time to tweet me back when I commented on how much I enjoyed her book (that I read after you recommended!) This would be the perfect mothers day gift. My mom has been hinting at wanting one for a long time now. She would just LOVE IT. Hope you feel better — Michelle
so looking forward to reading that novel. coffee in hand and getting the kids off to school! have a good day.
Today I am taking my last final of my college career! So… if you know of any jobs…
So far so good, enjoying a warm cup of coffee on a rainy Wednesday – halfway there!
My day is okay so far. My husband thought the battery in his truck died this morning, but then he somehow got it working again, so yay! For a Wednesday at work, it’s not bad!
Holy crud, talk about an awesome giveaway. My day will consist of: sipping lots of coffee, working outside in this glorious weather, going to my favorite Pure Barre class, making dinner, and then READING! I’d love an e-reader to take to bed each night. Who needs a boyfriend? Ha.
off to a slow start…I feel like crawling back in bed!
I just woke up, but my day already seems like its going to be slightly hectic!
Gray and rainy, a perfect day to stay in bed. Alas, I’ll be fighting frizz while traveling between meetings all day.
This morning, I’ve buried myself in notes to study for my upcoming finals! I hope the stress doesn’t get to me, and I can finish out the year well.
Such a cute idea! Today I’m back to work after a lovely surprise day off. Rested and ready to hit the ground running!
Hi Jenna–I hope you are feeling better! I started my day with a great boot camp session
It’s really cloudy and gross here today so I don’t mind being at work, but I’m hoping for some sunshine soon!
wow, what a nice give away!
Well, today I managed to get up and run my 3 1/2 miles (even thought it’s starting to get hotter and hotter down here in NC!) and eat a good breakfast so I’m ready! I got coffee and pretty weather so all is well.
My day has been great so far.
A little chocolate in the morning makes everything better. Maybe I should eat Nutella every morning!
I am at work..having a good day so far..the sun is shining.
Despite the fact that it’s rainy and grey out, my day is going well so far! Plus, I’m looking forward to going to the movies tonight to see “Pirates! band of Misfits.”
It’s sticky and rainy in DC this morning, but at least I got to wear my shiny green rain boots! So today is going ok so far.
I hope you feel better Jenna. My day is going great despite the doom and gloom lurking outside. My day technically began last night around 10pm when I woke up for work. It was a great night since most of the patients slept! I brought my little guy to preschool and I just finished a fantastic workout. Now it’s time to shower and pick the little guy up. How quickly these morning go!!
My day is going well. Got a workout in and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Now catching up on blog before I start work. Great giveaway!
My day is starting out OK…but I’m at work and VERY sleepy
Thanks for a great giveaway!
I’m eating my oatmeal and starting my day off at work!
My three sons are not getting along and my toddler just bit my three year old and we’re out of milk! So I am looking forward to this day taking a turn for the better! Heading out to garden in a bit, so hopefully that will do the trick!
My day is going great so far! I’m planning my garden and listening to the birds. Very fun and relaxing! Feel better!
Hello!
Well, right now I am doing my daily blog-surfing before settling into a long long day of final exam-prep. I’m 9 days away from graduating from law school! So close yet so far away.
This would be a lovely Mother’s Day gift and I’d sure enjoy one, too. Thanks for the giveaway! Fingers crossed.
Gratefully,
CHELSEA
So far my Wednesday is going well, althought I wish it were later in the week. Back to work!
My day is going well so far! Hope you feel better soon.
working on my last graduate school assignment (except for my thesis, which i’ll finish this summer). graduation is friday!!
I will be going out to take some pics of the newly hatched goslings! Unfortunately, unrelated to one Ryan Gosling. Have a great day!
Hooray!
I’m not in the running to win the Nooks but I wanted to stop by and wish everyone GOOD LUCK! Your readers are really special to me, as are you, my sweet Jenna. I hope you’re taking it easy today, and I am so appreciative of the chance to work together to make someone’s Mother’s Day. I hope whoever wins will drop us a line! LOVE YOU!
What a great giveaway! My day is going alright. Have to leave for work in about 15 minutes…
Great day so far! It was supposed to be raining and it’s not!
What a wonderful giveaway!!! I woke up feeling blah but i’m going to push through it and accomplish some goals I have set for today. I hope you get to feeling better soon Jenna!
Day is off to a good start with some coffee. Hopefully will get lots of studying done today!
My day is going great!
Wednesday is my favorite day! I don’t have to work which means I could sleep in…but I normally get up and spend some time just chillin’ before my classes. It’s also my grocery shopping day, so I spend the day drooling over what I’m getting at the store!
Feel better Jenna!
My day has been great. I’m in sunny, warm TN with my parents and my husband and son!
This giveaway is fantastic! Thanks Jenna and Krissy. I had the hardest time getting out of bed this morning but since then I’ve been fairly productive. Hopefully the beautiful weather will stick around long enough for me to get outside this afternoon. Feel better Jenna!
My day is going great! I am baking today….homemade honey whole wheat bread! Can you smell it….yum!
Awesome giveaway… I would LOVE to give my mom an e-reader…. and I wouldn’t mind having one myself!
I got in a 6 mile early morning run, took the puppy to the vet, and have already done a few errands!! It is going to be a productive day today!! I hope you feel better soon and thanks for a great giveaway!!! I would love to give one of these to my mom for Mother’s Day! She loves to read!!!
My day is going awesome! It’s Wednesday, and I have a fresh cup of coffee. What more could I ask for?
Feel better soon.
I’m on day two of being home sick from work, but i’ve been able to catch up on the major backlog of shows on DVR and the pile of books on my bedside table. (silver lining) If you need a recommendation, I’m really into “These Girls” by Sarah Pekkanen. It’s been hard to put down!! It’s an easy, chick-lit read. Great if you’ve got a beach trip coming up!
My day has started great…I love to start the day with sunshine!
As always love your book recommendations. Can’t wait to read it!
Although it’s still morning, today is going great and will only get better! I finish college today and I’m celebrating with SUSHI!
So far so good!
I’m home sick today
so lots of tea and rest is in store for today. But this post gave me the idea my mom would probably LOVE an e-reader! How come I didn’t think of that?!
Great day with my little girls! Love them!
my day is going not so good (job hunting) but looking up with an afternoon walk in the park with the sunshine!
I literally just woke up, so my day is fantastic so far! Besides, later I get to bake and spend time outside in this gorgeous weather.
Coffee in hand, and an amazing food blog to read…I would say my day is awesome!
I’m doing okay. Missing my mom though–it is her birthday today.
Just a normal, good day until I read about this amazing giveaway!
What a great giveaway! I’m having an ok day which would be much better if it would just stop raining. Feel better Jenna!
Hey Jenna! My day is going pretty well so far! I completed a work out and drank a smoothie before work
quite a feat for a girl who loves her sleep. I am crossing my fingers hard on this one. My birthday always falls the day or two around mother’s day and i won’t be home to celebrate with my mom this year. It’s one of those things where you know it will be fine, but it doesn’t stop the tears from welling up a little when you realize it. Anyway my mom and I love to read so this would be a great gift for her!
It is a rainy day here in Philadelphia, but we are celebrating a coworker’s birthday with tasty treats. I made a cheese and cracker plate!
my day is going really well! i actually made soft-boiled eggs for breakfast- which is the third time i’ve made them since you posted the how-to.
i’m feeling strangely upbeat today, but i’ll take it! 
Hi Jenna! Sorry you’re not feeling well – I hope you feel better soon! That book looks great – I can’t wait to read it sometime! Hopefully you’re reading something good today to feel better.
I’m at work and am excited to go to yoga later today!
What an awesome giveaway! My day is going pretty well, thanks for asking
How neat! My day is great so far. My mom was actually in town visiting so I got to spend the morning with her before she dropped me off from work and headed to Austin.
Great start to the day! Out admiring my garden…broccoli, squash, 4 different kinds of tomatoes, jalapenos, basil, onions, okra, cucumber. Love to cook with fresh vegetables!
Great so far!! I’ve only been up for a 15 minutes.
Getting the kids off to school and then going to the gym!
Hello from sunny Halifax, Nova Scotia. My day is off to a great start, made better by reading about a lovely contest and a new friendship! I’d love to win, so I hope this offer extends to your Canadian friends!
Jennifer
Love that book! Today is my errand day :/ coffee, journaling, and yoga comes first! What a wonderful give away
!
Wow, what an amazing giveaway! I’m up early trying to register for classes. The website is jammed because so many people are trying to register. Hopefully I’ll get the classes I need!
My day’s going great so far!
This is quite the giveaway. Exams are in full swing and I’m cramming my brain full of environmental health information. But the sun is out and the coffee is strong, so all’s well!
It’s raining here but the secret space heater under my desk is keeping me warm!
Good day so far! I’m a teacher, and my kids have huge projects due today, which means piles of grading for me. But it’s a fun project to grade–freshmen autobiographies.
Up early and full of energy. It a rainy, dreary day yesteday up in New England yesterday, but the sun is trying to poke out right now, so hopefully we get a bit of sunshine this afternoon!
I LOVED How to Love an American Man! I gave a copy to my sister and BF for Christmas. Seriously think its a must read for women (single or not)!
Day is great so far! Busy day at the office but that’s how I like it
I would love to win the Nook. I love reading but sometimes I do not get a chance to go the the bookstore with my busy schedule. This would be awesome!
Read about sweet baby Avery at http://www.averycan.blogspot.com this morning. It has inspired me to forget my stress and just focus on being grateful.
What a great giveaway! That is so cool that you have formed a relationship with the author. My mom and I are in the middle of planning my wedding and it would be great to be able to give something back to her!
I’d love to be able to give a reader to my mom for mother’s day!
My day is going great so far – I woke up before my alarm, giving me time to make one of Ashley’s French toast buckwheat bakes.
I’m about to go volunteer at a Strawberry Festival (which = free strawberries!), so I’d say my day is looking pretty sweet (no pun intended)
I did an early morning workout and feel energized! Today will be a good, productive day
I’m strangely tired… I blame it on waking up late after staying up to read way past my bedtime!
Awesome giveaway! My day is going amazing…I took my last final exam of my college career today! Will be graduating on Saturday
YAHOO! Hope you feel better!
Also battling a cold, but had to come into work to host events all week. Cheered me up to read your new blog post – I check every morning!
I’m at work today fighting off a cold. But at least it has stopped raining here in not-so-sunny South Fla.
what an awesome giveaway!! My day is going really well – I’m visiting some best friends in NYC – I love this city!!
Sorry to hear that you’re still feeling sick! I made your pho a while back, and it definitely comforted me. My day has been great so far, I can’t complain. It’s 80 and sunny in Cincinnati, and my boyfriend leaves for Tampa today for an interview. Fingers crossed for an even warmer location on the horizon
This is a really cool giveaway! So far, my day is going alright, work is keeping me busy!
My day is great, enjoying coffee on my patio while I peruse the internet. Jenna, I love your blog! I also love to read and “How to Love an American Man” was awesome! I read a lot of your recommendations. Just finished “Violets of March”, excellent. You are an inspiration because I also have a passion for food and my dream is to one day own my own little European style cafe. If you have not read “Paris, My Sweet” then I highly recommend you do. Ok, that is all. Have a good day and hope you feel better.
Another busy day at the office and at home chasing around my little girl. I certainly can’t complain!
This is such a great giveaway!
My day is going alright. Tired, but thankful for a good morning run this morning, my roommate finally being back in town after being gone for 2 weeks, and being at a job with co-workers I like. This is such an awesome giveaway! Thanks!
I was sick yesterday and feeling better today, so it’s looking up!
So far my day is off to a rocky start! Rain this morning meant no one apparently remembered how to drive, so my commute to work was a bit of a nightmare. Hopefully it turns around soon!
Just bought a new car so the day is starting off great!
I feel swamped today! I just got back to work after two weeks off (wedding and honeymoon! whoop whoop!) and now there are a MILLION things piled around me. It looks like I’m building a fort up in here. Can’t wait til lunchtime lol
Ok, skipped my morning run because it was raining so having a little trouble getting going, but overall, a good day so far!
Hope you feel better soon! It’s a little warm and a lot rainy here in PA today but I have a family dinner to look forward to after work – is it 5 yet?? Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
It’s been a crazy week, but today’s looking pretty good!
Off to a pretty good start. It’s just about lunch time here in Prince Edward Island, Canada and I am on my way to pick up my sweet daughter at pre-school. The baby is napping with Daddy here working from home today. Now if only the sun was out and it was a bit warmer all would be well!
Hope you feel better soon. I love your blog and your recipes!
Wonderful morning with coffee and emails. The rest of my day will be spent with two sweet little girls, 4 and 2 years old. We will probably go to a public playground, have a pizza date for lunch and then head home for books, playdough and trampoline time. This evening I have a cocktail party with close friends. Life is so sweet!
Best. Giveaway. Ever!!!!! My day is going okay, I got up and ran in the rain at 5am this morning, before getting the kids up and off to school and myself off to work. Its going to be a rainy week here in Maine – how sweet would it be to win a Nook and lay on the couch all weekend reading!!!
My day has been good! It started off with a great workout, which helps!
I’m finishing the last paper for my MSW today! Planning on celebrating this evening with a good cocktail and a good book, and I am so. excited.
My day is going lovely despite the rain outside. I work from home, so I get to stay in my pj’s and drink coffee instead of venturing out
I actually read this book back in January and LOVED it. It is very similar to my current situation (the moving home, bad breakup, trying to get my life on track in my mid-late 20′s). We even both are called Kris by family members and have Italian-American families. I really connected with her story and have recommended it to other friends. This is a great giveaway!
My day is so far so good. Met a wonderful friend at the gym in the a.m. for a workout with some laughs, and have been productive (enough) at work this morning!
A good night sleep and a week off work with my little fam– it’s a great day!
My day is going well so far… but winning this would certainly make it better!!
My morning has been ok so far – shoulders and arms workout with my boyfriend first thing this morning then a dreaded staff meeting at work. But i’m looking forward to an ab workout and a lovely shrimp dinner using a new recipe this evening!
Just got back from an awesome run — no better way to start the day.
Having a good day so far!
Studying for Law School Exams today! Or avoiding them by reading blogs…. lol
It’s a great day. The dogwoods are blooming, a neighbor stopped at my door with her delicious cupcakes, and now I see a bird building a nest under my porch. Life is good!
Hi Jenna! Just studying for a physics final and drinking coffee over here Colorady way! I hope those Italian sodas are doing the trick and that you feel better soon!
My day so far has been ok – working from home today which is always nice. Get to spend some quality time with my pup!
Day is going ok, but I already ran out of Diet Coke, so it might be going downhill!!
I’ve got a surprise day off from work, so I scheduled a massage and then I head down to the Craft Brewers Conference! It’s gonna be a tough day, but someone’s gotta do it!
My day is good! I got a promotion, so I’m busy at work. BUT I still find room EVERYDAY to follow your blog!
Today is going well but it it’s still early
I teach high school so my day is going by as usual, at a very rapid pace and in aan extremely chaotic way!
Studying for finals, and waiting for this ridiculously gloomy weather to pass!
I pinned your recommendation for this book ages ago because it sounds magnificent. My started well with a great run and now I am about to tackle some long-standing unpleasant projects at work. I really hope I win as my avid-reader daughter would LOVE LOVE LOVE a nook.
Hope you feel better soon.
My day is going well so far! Got a work out in, and plan to study for finals in a bit
Good morning, my day is just getting started, but I have a job interview in a couple of hours. (fingers crossed). Thanks for a great give away………. and feel better!!
My day was really great! I’m teaching English in Thailand and it was the first day of school. I had so much fun with my students and it felt great to be back at work after traveling for the past six weeks! Tough life, I know
My day has been pretty busy so far… which is odd for a Wednesday in the banking world.
My day is great! Lots of grocery shopping to plan for Derby Day!!
What a wonderful giveaway!!!
My day is going great so far. I got some playtime in with my baby before he conked out for his morning nap. Now I’m going to sit down and enjoy a bowl of oatmeal and read. The day would be perfect if I didn’t have an appointment at the DMV later this afternoon. Blech.
It’s a good day! The sun is shining and my family is healthy and happy!
just another long day at work, I’m excited to be done and go work out at a Jazzercise class!
Love the cover of your book– very exciting! It’s a rainy day, so trying to get to the gym and go for a good run!
what a great giveaway! i’m having a wonderful day (off from work!) and this post made it even better
)
My day is off to a good start so far! Just ate breakfast and am about to head to the gym. Hope you feel better!
My day is going great. I just graduated from college a few days ago so I am taking some time off to job hunt. And it is supposed to be 80 degrees today so I plan to lay out and read a new book!
Just got up after lounging in bed awhile. Enjoying a cup off coffee with beans a friend brought back from Costa Rica to help encourage me to go out for a run, then getting ready to work a night shift. yeck!
My day is super busy at work right now, but I am looking forward to spending a relaxing evening at home with my husband & cats.
It’s a beautiful day and is going great for me so far — would be even better with an e-reader (have been wanting one forever!)!
My day is great! Ran a 5k this morning and celebrating a special birthday with family tonight. Hope you feel better!
My day has been crazy, but I’m excited to have dinner tonight with my Aunt, Uncle, Grandma and Cousins! Our family meals are the best and everyone’s in town for a wedding this weekend.
It’s going ok this morning… I usually turn to this blog for a pick-me-up. Daughter slept through the night without a bottle for the first time and we paid for it this morning. Oi. Hope you feel better, and keep your fingers crossed for m’darling!
It’s a beautiful morning and a great start to my day!
Awesome! I’ve been trying to get my hands on that book. And I’ve been traveling lately with sooo many books in my tote. My poor shoulders. Lol. And I would love love love to give one to my madre!
My day has started off a little hectic as I overslept an hour but still managed to shower and make it to work on time so I guess the extra sleep was a good thing! I’m also on day two of a fast that’s started off well so I’m feeling pretty good about today
Thank you for the giveaway!
The sun is shining and the birds are singing…I’d say my day is going pretty good so far!:)
This book was great-I downloaded it when you posted about it months ago! It’s rainy in Philadelphia (can’t always be sunny, eh?) but that just means a big, hot pot of soup for dinner-any vegetarian or seafoody suggestions? Hope you’re feeling better-a hot shower and some kitty snuggles do wonders.
I’m 9 days away from finishing my first year in law school, and reading your blog gives me a little reprieve from studying for my finals. I appreciate that!!
My days going pretty good! I would love to win this book- My moms been wanting a e-reader forever! Hope you feel better Jenna!
i’m currently enjoying my mid-morning snack, which follows first and second breakfasts. yes, i’m pregnant. so my day’s going okay but i’m really just counting down the minutes till lunch
Working before 8 am but looking forward to a good day!
Day is off to a good start. It is the first day in a while that I did not wake up to dog poop on the rug!
My day is going great so far, and it looks like it will continue to go well!
My day is going better now that my husband found my glasses and brought them to me at work! He’s a lifesaver!
what a fun give away!
it’s supposed to be 90* here today so it’s a pretty good day!
Had to drive into DC for work this morning–the traffic wasn’t fun, but the worst of the day is over now, so that’s a plus.
Feel better!
My day’s OK so far. I slept though what was supposed to be a 3-mile run this morning, but I was on time to work and have already knocked out a couple of to-do items. So things are looking up! I hope everyone has a great day!
I’m homesick too…can’t wait to be home for summer! But today is shaping up to be pretty beautiful!
My day is going okay. It’s going to be a very longggg day (14 hours!) but I’m trying to keep a positive attitude…at least the sun is shining
My day has been busy – I’ve been up since 6 a.m., lured my little brother (he slept over last night and is turning 12 tomorrow) with a homemade breakfast burrito with onion, turkey sausage, eggs, cheese, and a tortilla. Then we went for a lovely walk around the lake nearby where we saw geese with little babies! After that, it was time to get ready for the day, drive him to school with literally 3 minutes to spare before he would’ve been late to class, and onto work.
So far, so good. Now all that’s left is to work the rest of the day and visit my mom who is recovering from appendicitis. *whew*
Spent the morning at the dentist … the day can only get better!
It’s only just started! Consisting of a bagel and coffee. How exciting
I have to say I am thoroughly looking forward to reading this because even if I don’t win, I’m going to have to buy this!
This giveaway is amazing! I woke up today and realized that my cold is making me lose my voice
Hopefully the rest of my day will be better.
My day is going great- started with a spin class and beautiful weather outside!
hi jenna, i’m working at home and i take care of my daughter, though the first is getting a bit neglected over the latter these days lol … ohhh we’re having hoppin jonh for lunch… i know i know, i’ve made it at least 5 times since you’ve posted the recipe, i mix salsa with mayo for the sauce though, its soooooo good.
Morning!! To be quite honest it is awful…TMI but colonoscopy scheduled tomorrow, so liquid diet today and its 9:50 and I am starving!!! But, its looking up, I have a Sonic gift card and a root 44 Dr. Pepper calling my name! (my special treat since I don’t get actual food today)
Have a good one!!
I’m reading this as I eat a big bowl of cereal and catch up on blogs – so far so good
My day started off with me in the dumpster searching for my house key that I threw out on my way to my morning run. It ended well–found the key, got in a run, and learned a bit of information, I prefer not knowing, about my neighbors
Feel better!
My day is off to a good start. Just finished my second to last final ever and am gearing up to study for my last one tomorrow. My mom would love a Nook!
Today I am going to visit an old friend. We are going to grab some coffee and catch up!
Hi Jenna! Love your blog, it always brightens my day. I just finished reading another book you recommended, Sisters by Nancy Jensen. Thanks for the book reviews – they are always great!
Wishing it was 4pm so I could leave work!
Morning started well – breakfast burito and early to work!
My day is much better now that I’m off work! Getting ready to head home and enjoy some good weather on the deck! Can’t wait to read this book, I’ve really enjoyed all of your book recs!
My day is going well- I missed the rain on my bikeride to work and survived our shelter in place drill at work!
My day is going well so far, but busy!
My day’s going great so far, even though I’m at work all day. Get well soon!
Finals week? Need I say more!
My day is going swell so far! I’ll be happy so long as I can stay dry in the rain today!
feel better Jenna!
It’s Wednesday, so we’re halfway through the work week. That’s how my day is going, if that tells you something. I would love to win this giveaway for the best two mommas I know: my sister and my mom. I was given a Nook for Christmas two years ago and I love it! Can’t wait to read your book this fall…
My day is going pretty good – day after admissions decisions at colleges must be made, so I can finally breathe easier after a year of work well done by everyone in our office!
I am on vacation this week, so my day is going great! It’s been raining, but not letting that ruin my mood!
My day is busy, busy, but I’m thankful for good health and a great family.
Wow, this is such an AMAZING giveaway. My day is going well – I slept in and am looking forward to going to my first boot camp class tonight!
I am sick as well–definitley making this day tough to get through.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I am just getting back to work from a couple days off so it has been busy so far!
Jenna, this is a most awesome giveaway! It’s nice and sunny outside and not windy where I live (which is rare), so it will be a great day! Hope you feel better soon… Take care!
beautiful day in southwest florida!
sun is shining, just left yoga class, off to take my CPR class later this afternoon, then finishin the night off with my homemade whole wheat zucchini pizza (recipe courtesy of ELR)!! MY FAVE! very productive day i must say! **hope you feel better jenna**
My day is going good so far!
My day is going good! Working away at my desk, checking my usual blogs… And a little sore but looking forward to yoga after work
My day is going alright so far – but I’ve only been awake for 60 minutes at this point.
What a great giveaway! I’m getting ready to do some yoga so my day is going well!
That’s on my reading list! Awesome giveaway!
My day is going well. I’m a librarian and it’s a pretty busy day but a good one!
My day is just starting, but I’m looking for ward to four days off (I’m giving myself a little break this week). Beautiful weather, which is always a plus in the Spring!
My day has got off to a fantastic start! It’s such a small world ~ my mom was handling some business at work and it turns out, she was on the phone with a former spinning instructor of mine! He asked if she knew me and said he was thinking about me and was willing to sneak me back into the club for a class. That definitely brought a smile to my face
it is busy. As I am a caretaker for my parents.
I have a little bit of time where I will take some time for myself and do a yoga class.
I just realized that, despite being a long-time reader, I’ve never left you a comment! I love your blog and have made so many of your recipes – one of my favorites is your Mediterranean Quinoa salad
. So anyway, since I’ve never left some love before, I’ll say now thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creations! They’ve helped me expand my tastes and try new things! (also your photography never ceases to make me drool). One of these days I’m gonna invest in a cedar plank and grill some salmon, since you’ve been raving about that forever…haha
Anyway, the past few days have been cold and dreary out here on the East coast but the sun just peeked out so my day is already looking better! I hope the weather out West is nicer, and I hope you feel better soon!
P.S. Being a poor grad student, I’d love to win a nook for my Mom this year… but if I do somehow end up being the lucky winner, I only need one! Give the other one to someone else’s mom
What a great giveaway.
I am having a busy day at work, but excited for yoga tonite.
oh no
feel better! but yay, free nook!
I’ve had a nice, slow morning, getting ready now to head to work. Hope you’re feeling a little better
my day is going well, i got my work hours in and was studying for my final tomorrow. taking a break from studying to read food blogs and watch private practice.
Got up at 6 (usually 7 with my baby) and did a yoga to the people podcast. Good start to the day!
My day is going well so far, listening to a little Texas country at work, so that always helps
Wow – such an awesome giveaway. I love how social media allows authors to engage with their readers. I met an author in a similar way and she offered to Skype into my book club session, which was such an amazing experience. I am a fan for life!
Feel better!
Will you delete the above comment/not include it in the drawing? I got an error message when I posted previously but it looks like both showed up! Don’t want to be entered twice!
What a great giveaway for mother’s day! My Wednesday is going very well, but of course I can’t wait for the weekend…. Cinco de Mayo
Congrats on the book!
My day is going well so far, drinking some black tea to avoid planting my face and taking a nap on my keyboard at work!
Feeling extremely blessed today as my husband and I got to hear our baby’s heart beat this morning at our 12-wk prenatal visit! It’s such a reassuring sound, and brings such peace! I’m so thankful for ears to hear it, and it makes me even more excited to celebrate my first Mother’s Day in a couple weeks.
Thank you for the great giveaway! My day just began but so far it is good! Thanks!
My day has been interesting so far. Changed 3 poopie diapers, nursed an infant twice, cleaned up doggie throw up (from eating one of the poopie diapers,) vacumed, fought a toddler for hours to go on the potty, made 2 breakfasts, wrangled the toddler into the car to go to school, did the dishes and one load of laundry all by 9:30 am. I am now going back to bed! =)
My day started off not so well…it’s raining, and my run was sloppy and slow. BUT, now that I have a hot mug of coffee and am looking forward to an out-of-town visitor arriving this afternoon, I’m feeling pretty good!
Feel better!!
What an amazing giveaway!!
My day is going pretty well so far…trip to the gym, last final tomorrow, and then to enjoy the sweet sunshine with my kiddos
Hope you feel better!
Oh no! Sorry you’re sick. My day is great! I already have on a pot of black beans. My sister is a mother of 3 little girls with another on the way. I would love to give her a Nook!
Feel better!
My day is going ok so far… I am due with my first in 2 days so I am on maternity leave just waiting and hoping something happens soon!
The day started with an early morning workout at the Y with my friend (friends make early morning workouts bearable!) Now I’m getting my kids ready for school and then will take an online test for school. Phew!
Awesome!
So far my day is consisting of cleaning up after a rather messy (but ultimately successful and rewarding) home improvement project! (Ever wonder how to make your husband’s beloved 50″ black hole of a TV as inconspicuous as possible?)
great day so far: woke up to baby girl’s smiles, getting ready for work/day care and singing!!! thank you, hope you have a great day too!
Finals are too quickly approaching and sleep is dwindling but I’m still looking for yummy and healthy recipes to keep me afloat! Thank you!
My day has been great so far! I woke up, snuggled with my dog and took her for a walk around the neighborhood!
My day is busy! I work in school as a speech language pathologist, so the last month of school is ALWAYS hectic. Looking forward to boot camp after work..
Followed by a delicious dinner a a great southern cookin restaurant called SideTracked in central, sc…. They are only open Tuesday through friday…. And change their menu every week!
So far Ive over slept and have gross classes all day today… Im hoping it will be looking up soon
Feel better!
Best giveaway ever! I actually rushed out to get this book after you reviewed it, and this morning decided to hop on your site to look up another book suggestion. I find that we have pretty similar tastes when it comes to choosing books! My day is going well….just settling in for a 12 hour shift at work. 9 minutes down, a million more to go! Feel better!
I stumbled upon your website this morning for the first time looking for a healthy recipe for our school newsletter. Every week I have the privilege of sharing a healthy recipe with my children’s school, and your Mediterranean Quinoa Salad was the perfect recipe for this week! What an amazing site you have! I am hooked! Thank you for spreading the love of eating well, living well and running with others!
P.S.
I am having a wonderful day! Your website has been the bright spot of my morning!
Well, I’m at work, so the best part of my day right now is coffee and blogs, ha.
Hope you feel better soon!
My day has been very inspiring so far! I work in special education and have been working with students to come up with inventions that make people’s lives better. their ideas are incredible!
I’m having a great day! Anytime we start with a 2 hr delay for school is good:)
Amazing giveaway! It’s sunny and supposed to be 80 degrees today here in MN so I’d say the day is looking pretty great. Happy Hump Day!
I am at work before everyone else so I can read all the blogs I want, which makes for a great start to the day
It’s 11:11..I think that’s a sign that my day should be turning awesome. At the moment I am very content and enjoying my hour break before my next shift at the gym I work at on campus. Let me tell you though I’ve been so overwhelmed. I’m a senior and it’s the whole I need to find a job/study for exams/ soak in these last precious moments/ prepare for my first half marathon this Saturday. I’m stressed. But looking on the bright side because life is good
My day is crazy, but I love it!
Working from my home office – bright and sunny here. Great day so far!
Starting off this day with only about an hour and a half of sleep after a tough night with my 6 month old. The day is shaping up though since my 3 year old is being a sweetheart, the coffee is kicking in and the sun is shining outside. Now if the baby feels better soon and we don’t have to go to the dr’s. office, it will be a good day indeed! Hope you feel better soon too.
Crazy!
I’m a Labor and Delivery Nurse and my day started off in full force right when I hit the door this morning so this is the first chance I’ve really had to sit down. Yesterday was way better just because I got to feel two little kicks from a little boy baby growing inside of me. 17 weeks and two days and I couldn’t feel more blessed!
P.S. Totally had the sinus infection gunk the beginning of this week so I’m totally feeling ya! It’s a good time to curl up with your cat (or in my case, two cats) and let your body heal.
I’m a-roastin’ a Kabocha squash to make soup for dinner tonight. Just did a web search for Kabocha recipes and stumbled on your site. Lovin’ it!
My day is going great! Halfway through the work week!
I loved, loved, loved this book! I actually told my mom to read it after I was done and she loved it too! Great suggestion. Keep ‘em coming!
long night with my teething baby girl! just finished “heaven is here” and loved it, now i’m looking for a new book!
Beautiful day here on the edge of the Mojave. Windy but sunny and the sheep are back, so I woke to the sound of the bell and hundreds of hooves on dirt as they passed by my window. Hope you feel better!
My day is going well. I’m makng cookies after work.
What a great giveaway – thanks to you both! Today should be a pretty good one; I’m a student therapist and saying goodbye to some clients today, which is sad but exciting to know the semester’s almost over. Looking forward to summer!
My day’s going great! Just got back from the doctor and learning that I will be having a baby girl this fall! Soooo excited!
My day is going great! I just finished my hardest and last final of my college career and… I celebrated by going food shopping haha
Great day so far -it’s my day off! Leisurely breakfast planned, then off to hot power vinyasa in a bit, then some down time with a book and my dogs. I’ll finish up my day with my pilates reformer class. Whew, my relaxing day still sounds busy! Haha!
Morning!
Its my day off today, so still lounging in bed. (9:20am) I am going to the gym once I do my morning reads, then head to the gym and go rollerblading with a girlfriend this afternoon. Dinner with a few friends tonight! It will be a great day
Feel better
My day is going a ok – I’m sick, too. Or maybe it’s allergies – either way, I’m not feeling too hot right now, either.
My days is CRAZY because it’s month-end at work -but I’m listening to some tunes and looking forward to my pedicure tonight.
I’d love a Nook for my mom and I! She was just saying how old her Kindle is, and I’ve never had an ereader!
My day is going well– looking forward to going outside during lunch!
It is a rainy day here in NYC. I am at work, but I would much rather be at home curled up on the couch reading a good book like How to Love an American Man.
Absolutely beautiful afternoon, just finished my junior year of college, and summer has officially begun… I can’t get over how time flies. I will be making a special trip to Target today for Carrie Underwood’s new album- SO amazing!
Trying to survive my last finals week of my college career! Ah!
It has been spectacular 80* weather all week in Denver but I am missing the sunny coastline of Costa Rica where we vacationed last week. Denver is a long way from the beach!
My day is crazy! Finishing up my last week of my first year of business school in Austin (finals- eek!) so that I can stamp my passport for the very first time Monday and head to South America with classmates! It’s hard to complain too much.
It’s been a muggy morning here in Chicago, and I’m looking forward to sunnier days! Great giveaway!
My day is actually turning out better than anticipated – the sun is shining, it’s nearly 90 degrees and I’m one day closer to seeing my little sister!
I am in my classroom preparing for my workday! Although it’s tough on the kids this week; we gave standardized testing. Thanks so much for this giveaway!
Oh fun!! My day so far is delicious; beginning at 5 am at the gym. It was endorphins and sun rise.
My day so far is going great! Lots of errands to run, but the weather in Berkeley is sunny so I’m looking forward to being outside. Hope you feel better soon!
My day started w/a headache thanks to my allergies, but other than that, it is great so far. I have to be at work at 2:30 for a long night of fun
Hope you feel better soon!
Hope you feel better, Jenna! I’m at work, planning a much, much, MUCH needed yoga session this afternoon. Work is stressful!!
Sorry you’re not feeling well! I’m spending the day up in Maine with my mom. It’s a bit chilly and wet here so will be curled up with coffee and books/movies today. Maybe will find a fun recipe to try!
Sitting at work for the end of the day. Things have been slow here lately. Hope you feel better soon.
My day is great so far! A little cloudy outside but that’s not going to stop me from going out and having some fun on my day off. I have read How to Love an American Man per your recommendation and I would definitely read it again!
what a lovely idea! feel better!
My day was going slow so far but just got better with this giveaway — thanks!
What a great giveaway – thanks to both of you! My day is going great, I have family coming into town tonight through the weekend, and I’m so excited to spend some quality time with my sister!

my day is off to a great start…. off work, able to sleep in and read great blogs like yours!
What an epic giveaway!! My day is going pretty well so far. I’m at work, and looking forward to this week being over because I have Friday off and Thursday is my one year anniversary with my boyfriend
This morning is good so far although this is a busy week in grad school…a midterm today and a big meeting tomorrow morning! I am looking forward to the summer when I have time to read books that are not related to my field!
the day is looking great, i’m about to skype with my best friend who is studying abroad in spain!
I just finished my last of four finals (organic chemistry!) to complete my senior year of college! On to graduate!
I’m having a great day, halfway to friday!
This may come through twice. I couldn’t tell if it was submitted before – sorry. Anyway, my day is going good except for my hotspot wifi seems to be challenged which is par for the course. It’s windy and sunny here on the edge of the Mojave and the sheep are back so I woke to the sound of the leader bell and the sound of hundreds of hooves on dirt as they passed by under my window. Hope you feel better.
What a great giveaway! My day is going okay. Yesterday was my birthday and I spent all day at work then had class until 9pm. So today I’m very tired and just want to crawl back in bed. Hope you feel better!
My day is going ok….eating a special pizza lunch makes it better! Feel better soon!
Hi Jenna, my day is going well so far. I just woke up about ten minutes ago, and I have an hour to lounge around before class. Finals are next week, but for now, I can enjoy the beautiful spring weather.
what an awesome giveaway!
My day so far: I got in at midnight last night from vacation in Aruba and was up at 5 am to work where I’ve been the last few hours but despite the lack of sleep, I am totally refreshed after a week at the beach
Hi Jenna,
First off, I love the idea of having a matching e-reader with my mom, Cindy! Neither of us have had the convenience and pleasure of one yet, and I haven’t been able to come up with a good present idea for Mother’s Day. Other than baking for her which I always do for holidays such as this.
I am in the middle of finals at University of Miami. I am studying Creative Writing and although I LOVE to write, it isn’t quite as enjoyable with huge scary deadlines such as a 25 page portfolio due tomorrow at 10 am. I just made a ginormous iced coffee with coconut-almond milk, and although the caffeine is helping me stay alert and awake, I am not at all doing what I should be.
Instead, I am reading your addicting blog and day dreaming about my summer in NYC! I got an internship with Sarah Copeland, author of The Newlywed Cookbook. I’ve known Sarah for a few years. (I met her at the Food Network Kitchens when I went there on my make-a-wish trip. I am a wish child/cancer survivor. She was the head baker at FN then and I got a tour and met all of my favorite chefs.) I will be helping her with the creation of her second cookbook that is due later this year. Food styling, food photography, editing, recipe development, and testing, newsletters, and social media/blog stuff. I am SO excited!
Well there was my ramble, day is going good and I am blasting MGMT throughout my apartment while it rains outside. I am cozy, and happy. And highly caffeinated.
xo Lily
My day is so far going awesome! I got up and drank a smoothie and I’m about to walk my dog with a couple of my neighbors. Then it’s work, lunch and some “Poisonwood Bible”. And I have some yummy looking swiss chard for dinner.
Hope you feel better soon!
Hi Jenna! My day so far tastes like the peach and strawberry smoothie I had for breakfast–sweet, tangy, and refreshing. I’m a Ph.D. student and just finished my last project for the year (well, except the ongoing summer research) yesterday. So, today is my first day of summer, and it’s goooood! I’m looking forward to starting some pleasure reading (dear Lord, please vanish all academic journal articles from the face of the earth). Books for the summer: Les Mis (again), The Hunger Games trilogy, the Outlander series, and whatever else I can get my paws on. Well, not both paws. Just one paw. The other paw will be holding a margarita, whiskey sour, or tangerine mimosa. Yes. YES!
My day is going fine… I’m a little ashamed to admit I’m in my PJs sipping a smoothie, but hey- that’s what days off are for.
Hi Jenna – hope you start to feel better. Its a little rainy today in the Boston area, but I am looking forward to an event I have planned tonight…a champagne toast for all May 2012 graduates at the college I work for!
Cheers!
My day is going swimmingly. I took the day off my my internship to work on my doctoral dissertation. I would love to win this for my Mom – our family has been through so much and she has been the best source of patience, and she’s truly a blessing. Wishing you a perfect day and a speedy recovery, Jenna. I adore your blog and how much you share of yourself in such a perfect way! XO
My day is going great! It’s going to be a perfect sunny day around 70 here in the mountains
I got to sleep in today so my day has been fabulous so far. Now to work though
So far, so good!
I’m so excited for my day to get going. I bought new running shoes yesterday and can’t wait to try them out on my lunch break!
Feel better!
My day got off to a hectic start, but it’s going well! Thanks for hosting this giveaway! It’s a great gift idea. I hope you feel better soon.
I read How to Love an American Man based on your review and ABSOLUTELY loved it. I hope your book will also be available on the Nook!
I’m having a wonderful morning but itching for the weekend
My day is going good so far, but I am about to head out the door to Target with my four children all under the age of 5 so we will see if that changes my day.
My day is starting out on a rather sad note as my co-workers father passed. The good part is the sun is shining! Feel better!
My day is going fast! Almost lunch and it’s a beautiful day outside.
I borrowed my friend’s Nook this weekend while vacationing in FL and would love one! I’m going through Hunger Games withdrawal on my first day back to work!
The rain has finally stopped, the sun is trying to come out and it’s Wednesday– things could be a lot worse! Feel better!
what a great giveaway! day is going okay so far – i snoozed on my morning run, which is annoying me to no end, but i have a day packed with meetings so a run after work will be good to decompress.
my day is alright so far – catching up on blogs before work, and planning out this afternoon’s gym session!
Today is a great day in Atlanta. It’s supposed to by 90 degrees,and I just found out we have staff appreciation lunch today. Yay for free lunch!
My day has been pretty good so far! Working on a bit of homework right now for my class tonight. Nothing quite like procrastinating.
I really hope I win! I am desperate for a Nook and very eager to read this book that received such glowing reviews!
My day is just starting, but it seems like it’s going to be a slow one.
My day is going well. I am at home in Charleston, SC (your fav!!
) aaannd I go back to Tuscaloosa this weekend to graduate college at Alabama – we have lots of things in common!! Hope you feel better!
Hope you’re feeling better Jenna! Would love to win this for my Mom!!! And I can’t wait for your book to come out!!!
aside from my coffee mishap (somehow managed to forget to put in a filter) day is off to a great start!
My day has started off wonderful! I’m wearing a neon orange dress that I LOVE from old Navy. The color itself puts you in a wonderful mood (except when someone tells you that you look like an orange construction cone…meh…who cares, it makes me happy!) I am currently counting down the minutes until lunch…my apple and orange are not holding me over well. I hope you get to feeling better and as always…I love your blog! Makes me smile every day!
Hi Jenna! Funny you should ask about the reader’s day. Today my husband and I are planning our second (wedding) anniversary trip to Mendicino, and I’m totally pitching your what look to be like fabulous ideas on what to do (must.have.firepot.soup.). So thank you for the tips and I hope you’re feeling better very soon
)
It’s still early in Portland and the sun is already shining! That never happens
I am just sitting at work wishing I was at home reading
My day is a bit chaotic but I’m about to grab a yummy lunch and put on a smile for the afternoon!
Fantastic giveaway!!! My day started with oatmeal and then my daughters feet pattering into my arms. SO good so far!
My day is going well so far. I’m actually taking care of my son who has a terrible cold. Lots of hot tea with honey/lemon and chicken soup with lots of garlic and Srichacha. Although I hate when he is sick, it’s sweet when I hear “Thanks Mama” from my 16 year old
A little chaotic and work’s a bit stressful, but otherwise okay
Wow what a great Giveaway! My day is going well went to a hot yoga class at a great studio! When you come to seattle you must try shakti its the best…I like the one in ballard best:) I hope you feel better asap!
Um… starting work at 6:30 AM kinda stinks, but big picture, my day is going pretty well! Gotta love AZ this time of year.
I have a busy day ahead but enjoyed easing into my morning by getting up a little early to catch up on my reading! Looking forward to walking my pup this evening–we are enjoying beautiful weather in New Mexico today!!
Great giveaway! My day is going really well. A good night’s sleep (a rarity), a morning workout, and trucking along at work. These three things don’t usually happen on the same day for me, so I’m quite happy and riding the wave today!
My day is busy, good busy though! Looking forward to the weekend already
My day is going great! Its finally warm in Chicago!
I loved this book and think it would be so awesome to gift it to my mother on her own Nook! She’s been dying for one and I can’t think of a better Mother’s Day gift!
Today, I am looking forward to my brother’s college graduation this weekend, and a mother-daughter weekend with my mom and little sis in Chicago the weekend after – The American Girl store is calling!
…(Plus, the husband and I are gearing up for a two week trip to Italy at the end of the month!)
I dropped about half a can of wet cat food all over the floor and my shoe this morning and it has been all down hill from there… Oh, well! It is almost time for my lunch break so that should make everything better.
I have a busy day ahead, so I hit the gym before work. Must remember to do that more often – great start to the day!
By day has been busy, busy busy so far! Thank goodness we’re already halfway through the week!
My day has been great so far! A morning run and breakfast… hopefully the rest of the day will be just as good
It’s a sunny 81 degrees here in Nashville today. My legs, I think, have finally recovered from my first half marathon on Satuday. I’m itching to get back out there for a light run after work tonight followed by some yoga! Hope you feel better soon!
Getting ready to go on vacation, so it is pretty hectic but exciting!
the day is going fab
Well, my day is going better than yesterday, and that’s a start
My day is going pretty good, so no complaints. At work on a rainy gloomy Wednesday, office is super quiet. Just found a pair of Nike Free Trail Runners for $40 online, which was an awesome steal. Contemplating on what to eat for lunch… I’m leaning towards a burger with extra cheese and pickles! YUM-O but not healthy
LOL
xxxo, Vanessa
it’s rainy in so cal! only 9 am and i’m already excited to head home for a warm comforting dinner and some relaxation time. rainy weather does that to me! what a great giveaway, thank you kristine!
I left my phone at home so I’m feeling lost today. I’ve got a spin class this afternoon so it should pick up.
Nursing a sinus cold while finishing up the last two weeks of grad school. Lots of time spent on the computer with kleenex up my nose!
So far it’s actually been a great day! I had a yummy breakfast, a stress free train ride to the office and it’s supposed to be in the 80s here today! Yay!
After reading your initial review of this book and I really wanted to read it and you just reminded me. I’ve been looking for a new book to read!
But my day is going well so far today! I made a homemade black bean burger for lunch that I’m excited to eat!
It is a journey today!! Wide open. Trying to stay focused!!
Feel better! My day is going great! It’s my nephew’s first birthday today and since I am his nanny I get to spend all day celebrating with him. I am just eager for him to wake up from his morning nap to get the day started!
Also, I read this book and it’s fantastic! Thanks for the recommendation! Would love to read it again.
My day is going great! I had my thesis printed and will be submitting it this afternoon!
My day is going wonderfully! I listened to rain storms pass through while dozing next to my hubby early this morning and got lots of errands done before my work day even began. Hurray for being productive!
Going well– today is a new day, and that is a beautiful thing!
My day’s been good so far – and hopefully will keep getting better, as I get to head over to our new house after work!
My day is going well, trying to get through some meetings!
What a great giveaway! My day started off perfectly…a run in the mud with my dog, my friend and the 6 dogs she walks! What a great way to start the day…!
It’s going well-one day closer to Friday!
Great day so far. Looking forward to good workout tonight! Great giveaway.
I started reading Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks (I love the books you recommend!) last night and stayed up too late so I’m a little tired today! A pretty normal day at work but got in a 5-mile run this morning so I’m off to a pretty good start.
Hi, Jenna! Hope you feel better soon. I was up with the early birds this morning (around 5am), standing outside enjoying the warm morning and listening to the birds sing while my (ridiculous) poodle played in the early morning dew and fog. We even had a pretty sunrise and now it’s almost 80 degrees outside!
My days got off to a wodnerful start and it’s still going great!
Take care of yourself!
It’s gross and rainy out…but other than that I can’t complain! Feel better!
Having a lousy day, actually, but a Nook would make it better! I was planning to get one for my mom and I’ve been wanting one, too.
I just ate chocolate chip cookies for a REALLY late breakfast so my day is going ok, besides the fact I just ate breakfast at almost noon. But the cookies were really good.
Good afternoon! I slept in late (yawn)…then finally made my way out the door for a slow 5-mile run. Now I’m studying for nursing finals….so far a really nice and relaxed day! Lets hops finals day I feel the same way!
My husband made pancakes, baby is already down for a nap, and mama’s having her coffee. A good start to the day!

Enjoying this beautiful Northern Ca morning with my 1 yo, and was just contemplating what to get my mother for Mother’s day and voilá!
My day didnt start like I wanted it to–with a run, because I’m still so sore from a class I took Monday, but I guess that’s a good thing

My mom and I have been very close my whole life… And two days ago we found out that my husband was accepted into Grad school… In WASHINGTON DC!? we have lived in Cali since childhood, and our lives are all the sudden very upside down and crazy exciting/sad.

Hi Jenna!
I hope you’re feeling better soon! Today I’m lounging in the bed watching food network, wishing i felt good enough to make some of the stuff I’m watching. Yesterday I managed to stay up long enough to make my boyfriend two cheesecakes to take to work but other than that I’m afraid I’m being pretty useless.
Today isn’t so bad for a rainy Wednesday! Waking up to a warm latte courtesy of my hubs didn’t hurt, though!
missing you at yoga, hope you’re feeling better. sitting here at work at my computer, looking out at the sunshine thinking what a beautiful start to the month of May
Aw, hope you feel better. My little guy is home sick today, but I’m off to the gym… hopefully the day will be great!
Work is work. Looking forward to an interst meeting for a marathon training group after work!
I am doing well! The sun is shinning!
