This summer the month of June is going to be very special here at Living Trader Joe’s!

We decided to join the Blog 30 Challenge hosted by Dr. Jeanette Cates that runs the full 30 days of June. You can view more about her at her blog at www.jeanettecates.com. This is a challenge for bloggers to pledge to write 30 blog posts in 30 days. Jeanettes’ blog helps folks get online and stay organized.

We participated in another “Blog 30 Challenge” in April/May hosted by Connie Regan Green. Her blog is here at: http://conniegreen.com/ Connie’s blog is all about how to be a better blogger, and marketer, and thus communicate better with you, my loyal readers. As Delaina and I are both new to blogging, we were hoping to get some cool tips, and tricks to navigating all this technology from both of these smart, successful women. And boy have we learned a lot!

You might have noticed an increase in our postings in April and May. Well, we have the Blog 30 Challenge to blame, or rather thank for all that. By committing to writing a blog post each day, we found that I went through a number of emotions. These started out as fear (as in what the heck will we say today) to a kind of excitement as we prepared information to share with you all.

This time around, we are getting organized a bit earlier and planning some fun new stuff and even add some new categories to the blog. Mostly to answer questions that we have received when we tell people what we are doing/ eating. These new categories include:

• Raw foods
• Wheat free (products and recipes)
• Vita Mix Blender! (Unbelievably good smoothies and more!)

All three of these new categories will not be hard to write for, as we will simply be sharing what new items we are shopping for/ eating and having fun with (crazy good smoothie concoctions) this summer here in Tucson at our local Trader Joe’s store.

As long as we are talking about additions and changes to the blog- we would LOVE to hear what categories you enjoy reading and which new ones you would like us to add.  So please drop us a note and let us know what we can do for you today.

Here’s to a wonderful summer,
Cheers!

Kris & Delaina
