Blogiversary Giveaway Week Kick Off + 72 Question Survey

Today, Hungry Hobby turns six years old! 

Almond Flour Funfetti Cupcakes – get the recipe by clicking here.  

I can’t believe it.  I started this blog six years ago as a fun project to keep me entertained while I was alone in Palm Springs, California, finishing my clinical dietetic internship.  I never dreamed what the blog would become for me — a space to connect, create, and share about everything I love from cooking to fitness to our family (from great loss to great blessings and everything in between).  It’s been a wild ride, but an amazing one.  

I’ve poured everything I have into this space.  I spent 5 years blogging 5-6 days a week, and since Little Man was born around four days a week. I really try to listen to what you guys want when I put together my content because the ultimate goal is to be helpful. Seems you guys really like the Day in the Life posts, easy recipes, and workouts so I’ll keep at it!  

The survey has been floating around the blogosphere lately, but I saw it first on Ashley’s blog though.  I thought it would be a fun way to connect with you guys on Hungry Hobby’s Birthday!  

And as a thank you for all your support I’m kicking off the first of three giveaways for Hungry Hobby’s birthday!  Enter at the end of this post!
