It's Best of Blogs time!
Hello! Hello!
Believe it or not September is over and it's time for this months Best of Blogs Linkup! The Best of Blogs Linkup is on the last weekday of every month. If you are a blogger, share your favorite post of the month OR a wrap up post like this one in the linkup below. It's a great place to see everyone's best work from the month in one place.
If you are not a blogger, this is still a wonderful resource to explore other blogs. I'll be sharing my favorite links of the month below too. There is so much amazing work publishing daily from so many bloggers and you don't want to miss out!
I've decided to move next month's Best of Blogs up to Friday October 28th so it's not on Halloween. Mark your calendar for the date change now!
Last month I talked about how my Pinterest has been growing and I asked if you guys would be interested on a post about that. Many of you said yes, so I'm working on that in the next few weeks. I have some good tidbits to share.
Personally September started off as a heavy month, but the past week has been nothing short of shear joy as our family gets used to having this little girl around. Get ready for way to many photos now....
Can you blame me?
And honestly you will most likely see more Monday. 🙂
The linkup is at the bottom of the post, so keep on scrollin’!

I can't thank you all enough for straying off course and letting me speak from the heart.

This gem of an article also make a strange resurgence this month. Way back in the infancy stages of Running in a Skirt, I did a few playlists and this Boy Band Playlist was kind of epic. I'm still not sure where the traffic came from, but one day it popped up in my top 10! haha! Check it out if you'd like to learn about the time I was in a fashion show with the Back Street Boys. Yup...... 🙂

Ah I still haven't made those Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. I think I was waiting until I had chocolate in the house (as I sadly can't have any just sitting around or it gets EATEN!), but I have some now, so I should quickly make these before it disappears 😉
This will be my first time linking up, so I will go big with my PMS Bites. It definitely had the most views/comments/traffic of any other post on my blog last month.
What a fun linky party - I can't wait to join up every month.
And you've had some great posts this month... but as someone with a furkid myself, I'm biased in thinking your pup posts were the best. She is still getting bigger!! I love her brindle colouring, she really is just a gorgeous girl.
Thanks for hosting and have a great week =)
JulieWunder says
Hi Kimmy! Love your PMS bites. So much fun! I hear ya about the chocolate. It disappears around here too.
Makena is such a doll. They called her coloring reverse brindle. We had a fawn boxer, so we wanted something different and she is!! Such a joy.
Kristy from Southern In Law says
I can't believe it is October ALREADY!
I'm so glad September turned out to be a great month for you! <3
JulieWunder says
Me either Kristy! Time flies!
Mary Ellen @ VNutrition says
Sorry I'm a day late to the party! I decided to add my creamy vegan mac & cheese because it was my fav of the month.
You've had so many great posts this month! I think my favorite is the one of your new little pup - she's gorgeous! I missed the 10 minute workout so I'm going to check that out. Some days I am running late after work so I don't have much time to work out (or just get lazy once I get home) so a quick workout plan would be perfect for those days!
JulieWunder says
Thanks for linking up! Better late than never! Hope you enjoy the workout.
Emily says
I think I've seen most of these posts, but I missed those cookies! They look yummy; and that crockpot granola is just so delicious. <3 I love that you've been spending so much time with new furry addition to the family. She is so precious.
JulieWunder says
Ohhh the cookies are good. I'm so glad you enjoyed the oatmeal!
Farrah says
Suchhhhh an adorable puppy! <3 I'm so excited for you!
I still need to make that crockpot granola! I just gotta finish off the bags of granola I have in my apartment first! 😛
I randomly got a huge boost on my "10 things med students want you to know" post and I have no idea how to see where the referral traffic is coming from! (I just know that it's from facebook somewhere, haha.) I guess I'll just enjoy it while it's here! 😛
JulieWunder says
Isn't it so funny the way that works??!!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
Gosh, Julie, I feel like I missed a lot of these posts and I don't know how! I'll be catching up. All I can say is it's been a tough month around my house...
JulieWunder says
Thanks Wendy. I hope you enjoy the posts. Sorry you guys have had a rough month. I hope October turns around for you.
Esther says
I love this post! So many beautiful pictures and memories you made in Sept! And so much yummy food! I Just need to come eat in your kitchen and play with your sweet pup!
JulieWunder says
Haha! Come on over!
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says

Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says
Those cookies, OMG they look amazing! Your new addition to the family is beautiful! I'm sure we will see many more pics in the future :).
JulieWunder says
Yes! Going into puppy overload around here.
lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
He is just so darn cute. How can that not put a smile on anyone's face.? That Crock-Pot granola sounds interesting I didn't think you could make granola in a crock pot
JulieWunder says
Thanks! She's so much fun! Yes! Crock Pot Granola totally works!!
Patricia @Sweet and Strong says
I love puppy pics, I never get tired of looking at them. And when you don't have kids you'll find you put of pictures of your puppy ALL over the house too, lol. Seems like it's been a great month for you and I can't wait to see what you share in October. All those delicious looking recipes just made me really hungry!
JulieWunder says
Haha! YES! The dogs are the children.:-)
Pam says
I need to try overnight oats. A lot of bloggers post great sounding recipes, but I just forget in the evening to try them out. Your dog is precious. Love the photos.
JulieWunder says
They are so easy! Hope you get a chance to try them. Thanks so much!
Debbie @ Coach Debbie Runs says
Oh my goodness, your puppy is so adorable! I'll take all the photos you can dish out!
JulieWunder says
Deal! I can make that happen. 🙂
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
Seems like oats were the name of the game this month! I'm cool with that 😀 Great month, and cheers to another!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Susie! Happy weekend!
