It’s that time of the week again…it’s Monday! Time for another Inspire Me Monday post and link-up!
This post is all about inspiration. What’s been inspiring me, what’s inspiring you and how we can inspire others.
(And since it’s on Mondays, I usually share a bit of my weekend fun too. )
Also if you’re reading this on Monday…we are driving with all of our crap to Nebraska. Moving day!! Woot.
Actually I’m pretty sad to leave everyone and the twin cities (where there’s always something to do), but I’m also excited to be closer to family AND hang out with the Omaha Blogger’s group that started up right when I left. (<-I seriously had no idea there were other bloggers in Omaha)
In case you’re wondering…I have changed the numbers on the IMM posts to sync up with the other bloggers. I’m a goof and had totally different numbers than everyone else. So that’s why the numbers are weird right now (don’t try to look for numbers 13-37 today).
Weekend Fun
We’ve been trying to live up our last couple of weeks in Minnesota. We took a trip up north, I hung out in Minneapolis with Katie, and on Friday, Dave and I went to the Back to the 50’s car show AND dinner with our friends Mellissa and Bridget in Stillwater at Nacho Mama’s.
(I sported my Emily Kinney [aka Beth from The Walking Dead] shirt from the concert we went to in Omaha.)
Seriously you guys, if you go to Stillwater, eat at Nacho Mama’s. It’s the real deal.
I opted for street tacos with ground beef and stole Dave’s guacamole from his Honey Chipotle Glazed Carne Asada (because oh em gee I love everything avocado. and I say oh em gee.)
Now onto a bazillion links you have to check out!

Some things I’ve figured out over the past two years!
Favorite Links this Week:
Blogging + Business
Online “Success” and “Failure” Don’t Look the Way You Think via Yes and Yes <-I’m obsessed with this newfound blog.
Shake Off Online Haters via The Nectar Colective (I love that this doesn’t just say “shake them off” or “ignore them” since not all negative comments are bad–some of them are totally necessary and constructive!)
May Income Report via Pinch of Yum (have you guys seen these? it will blow your mind how much these food bloggers make! PLUS they opened up this one to questions so the comment section is gold.)
One Percent Infinity via Pinch of Yum (this applies to anything in life and I LOVE this concept!!)
Fitness + Health
Summer Sweat Series Fitness Plan Week 1 via Fit Foodie Finds (you guys, I tried just TWO of these workouts and was sore for a week. I’m glad I didn’t push through the soreness and listened to my body, but this shows you they mean business!)
Foodie
Oatmeal Cookie Dough Mug Cake (yep. totally making this once I get my baking stuff unpacked.)
Favorite Posts from Last Week’s Link-Up:

I should have added this delight to my strawberry recipe round-up!

Good luck with the move. I’m a former Minnesotan, now living and blogging in the U.K. It’s nice to see the photos–like a quick visit.
Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut
Thank you! The move went pretty well!
I will definitely miss Minnesota. Do you get back often to visit?

Nacho mama’s, that is awesome 😉
That cookie mug cake … sweet mercy, it sounds so good. And I’ve read some of Pinch of Yum’s reports but not that one. The comment section sounds amazing, thanks for linking! And congrats on your move, hope all went well!
Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut
“Sweet mercy” umm I might be stealing that phrase!
Yes you need to check out those comments–not that you’re a bad blogger (you’re a rockstar), but I think we can all learn from that post and the comments!!
