Today I feel like a proud mama.
Just one year ago, today, I said “Hello World,” to the blogosphere and dove into the wonderful community of healthy living, cooking, baking, exercise, running and fitness blogs that have become such a large part of my daily existence.
Along the way I have learned a thing or two in the kitchen, managed to stick to my healthy goals and have found out quite a bit about myself in the process.
And, of course, none of this would have been possible without all of you. Thank you for making Shabbott’s Habits more than I ever expected. Your continued kindness, support and friendship is so very much appreciated.
To say thank you, I’m offering a *GIVEAWAY* that touches on two of my most talked about subjects on the blog: healthy cooking and fitness.
