Hello and happy hump day!
I hate when people call it hump day… I don’t know why I just did that.
Anyways, today was Day 2 of my Dietetic Internship Orientation, and once again, I have nothing but good things to say about the girls. As did our speaker from WIC- she said in the 9 years that she has been coming and speaking with Cal Poly interns, we are the best group she has had! Woohoo! Go us! We are certainly an intelligent, inquisitive, and engaged group.
I won’t go into all the details, but basically, today was all about breastfeeding – 7 hours worth of information. [Well, actually a little less because we were done slightly early - my girls are wicked smaht.]
Now! More importantly…
Yes, yes, yes. I know I am super late on this, but life is busy, yo!
I received my goodie box from a lovely reader, Gina!
Shoutout to Gina – HEY GINA!
Gina and I both were moving in the month of August, so pardon the delay.
This box was in.cred.i.ble. No joke. Gina went above and beyond the call of duty. I could not believe how much stuff I received!!
Here’s what I got…
Adorable card.
Spicy seaweed – delish.
Addicting. I just was plowing through these as my after school snack. The bag had to be pryed from my hands.
Satisfied last night’s sweet tooth!
Can’t wait to put this in my morning yogurt!
Had this on my PB & Jam breakfast this morning. To die for.
LOVE Burt’s Bees.
Totally packing this for tomorrow’s snack.
I see a perfect busy-dietetic-intern-on-the-go-no-time-to-cook dinner in my future!
I’ve always wanted to try this mix. Perfect for my weekend pancake fix!
Just about to sit down to a Tortilla Pizza dinner made with these!
Amazing, right?
THANK YOU GINA!
I love foodie pen pals. And maybe you might too!
Here are the details:
-On the 5th of every month, you will receive your penpal pairing via email. It will be your responsibility to contact your penpal and get their mailing address and any other information you might need like allergies or dietary restrictions.
-You will have until the 15th of the month to put your box of goodies in the mail. On the last day of the month, you will post about the goodies you received from your penpal!
-The boxes are to be filled with fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats! The spending limit is $15. The box must also include something written. This can be anything from a note explaining what’s in the box, to a fun recipe…use your imagination!
-You are responsible for figuring out the best way to ship your items depending on their size and how fragile they are. (Don’t forget about flat rate boxes!)
-Foodie Penpals is open to blog readers as well as bloggers. If you’re a reader and you get paired with a blogger, you are to write a short guest post for your penpal to post on their blog about what you received. If two readers are paired together, neither needs to worry about writing a post for that month.
-Foodie Penplas is open to US & Canadian residents. Please note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only. We’ve determined things might get too slow and backed up if we’re trying to send foods through customs across the border from US to Canada and vice versa.

Well, time to dig into that pizza. Tonight is glow-in-the-dark ultimate frisbee with a fellow intern, Anna, and her friends! So excited to meet some people my own age! Hopefully I won’t make too much of a fool out of myself – I have no idea how to play, much less throw a frisbee. Ha! It will be fun!
Have a great night!
