Septembeard - Septembart

So, it's almost the middle of September already, can you believe it? Time is flying.

Josh, my husband, was asked by someone in his company if he would grow a beard for a cause for the month of September, and of course, he said yes! He loves growing his beard out. Last time, he grew it out I was still living in Germany, and I've only seen it pictures of it.

I'm not really thrilled about the beard, but it is for a good cause, so I'll be a good wife and support him! 

So, this organization Septembeard wants to raise awareness of prostate cancer and wants to find a cure and eradicate it. They are asking men all over the country to grow a beard and raise money for the cause. After all, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men.

This is really close to my heart, too! Only last year my cousin past away because of cancer. He was only 31 and left behind a wife and four children.

I'm glad my husband joined a his company's team to raise awareness and help find a cure for prostate cancer. This is a worthy cause and if you agree, you can donate to their team directly or to the organization. Here's a link to their teams site: Gables Growin' For Good


This is a picture of my husband on September 1st. He was growing his beard for a couple of days already at that point.

Recipe: Easy breakfast eggs - Rezept: Einfache Frühstückseier

Breakfast is such an important meal and you should never skip it. Really! It is so important for our bodies to get a healthy meal in the morning!

I'm usually pretty good about it but since I have to be at work by 5 am three times a week it is getting a little harder to eat healthy breakfasts in the early morning. Most early mornings I took Greek yogurt with fruit or oatmeal with me to work which I prepared the night before. But I get bored with food... I don't like eating the same thing every day. So yesterday I thought I'd try something I saw on Pinterest the other day. 

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Pinterest, it's an online pin board where you can organize what you find online. If you find a website, recipe, picture, song, blog, etc. online, instead of bookmarking it, you can pin it to a board on your pinterest. I love it. I've found quite a few blogs I follow on it. 

But back to the recipe:

Here's a link to Amy's Kitchen Creation blog, where I found the recipe: Eggs for breakfast sandwiches

And here's my attempt:

Five Reason To Be Happy This Friday - Fünf Gründe, Diesen Freitag Glücklich Zu Sein

It's Friday! Starting today I will post five reasons to be happy every Friday. This past week has been great and I have many reasons to be happy and thankful, and I just wanted to share them with you.

Reason # 1: On Monday it was Labor Day and to enjoy our day off, Josh & I went to Little Talbot Island to spend the day at the Beach!

It was great! The sun was shining, (almost) no cloud in the sky and the great thing about Talbot Island State Park beach is that it usually doesn't get that crowded, even on a holiday! On the way to the beach through the marsh we even saw a bunny. Can you find it in the picture?
