Those of you who were readers of PBF on Sadie’s birthday last year may remember the epic battle between the cheeseburger and the vanilla soft serve cone. We placed both options in front of Sadie and watched to see which one she devoured first.
As expected, the soft serve didn’t stand a chance.
This year, on Sadie’s third birthday, we decided to kick things up a notch.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present the contenders:
One double cheeseburger
vs.
One grilled chicken sandwich
And the birthday girl herself! 
We were actually pretty surprised with the selection she made.
Check it ooout!

We’re already brainstorming contenders for next year’s birthday battle!
Interested in a Fashion Page?
And now I have a little question for you guys!
When I asked for your input on things you would like to see more of on the blog in 2011, I had several requests for fashion posts and pictures of outfits I wear. While I definitely don’t consider myself incredibly fashionable in the least, I do love clothes! (For an awesome fashion blog, check out J’s Everyday Fashion!)
Some of the most common emails and comments on my blog ask me where I got a certain item I wore in a picture that I posted on the blog.
When I was talking to Ryan about ideas for a new page for the blog, he suggested a page dedicated to a “look of the week.” Well, I’m thinking it might be fun to randomly update the page with new outfits whenever I (or Ryan) happen to snap a picture of my entire outfit… whether it be once a week, several times a week, or a couple of times a month.
Of course, I would let you know when I post something on that page through my normal blog posts so you wouldn’t have to click on it all the time in hopes of seeing something new.
Also, from a logistical stand point, I’m not sure how to create posts for pages (internet savvy folks, is this even possible?), so I’m not sure it would work anyway.
I took this photo as I was leaving work today, figuring a post on the fashion page could look like this: 
- Date: 1/20/11
- Dress: BCBG
- Lace camisole: Express
- Deep gray shrug: New York and Co.
- Brown tights: Old Navy
- Boots: Colin Stewart (via VictoriasSecret.com)
- Gold necklace and bangle: Banana Republic
It’s very similar to what Ali of Food, Fitness, Fashion does and I’ve always loved that feature of her blog, though my fashion-related posts wouldn’t be featured on the main page.
Would this interest you? I don’t want to throw up a new page on the blog that’s “dead weight” and wouldn’t really interest you guys. If this particular idea is less than enthralling to you, do you have any ideas for other pages you would like to see?
Please let me know! I aim to serve. 😀

I’d love a fashion page! The snippets we see of your outfits are always so cute–I’d love to see where you get your individual pieces and how you layer everything up!
Double Yes to the fashion addition!! Yippy!!
Love the bday competition for Sadie – what a great idea!
And yes, to more photos on your outfits because the ones you post are super cute so I would love to see what the rest of your wardrobe looks like.
great idea! your clothes are so cute!
Love the video! I would have chosen the chicken too. Happy Birthday Sadie!
I’d love to see a fashion page! 🙂
If you wanted to keep the fashion posts off the main page of your blog, you could install a WordPress plugin designed to exclude categories from the main page. You could then put a link to that particular category in your main nav menu so that people can access all posts placed within that category there instead. Try searching for “front page excluded categories” or “advanced category excluder” – both plugins would do what you want.
AHAHA woohoo for chicken!!! and YES YES i would love a fashion page 😀
Aww cute video! I LOVE Sadie!! 😀
A fashion page would be AWESOME! I love seeing what you wear- you have such amazing clothes and great style!! Can’t wait for the page! 🙂
Haha, this is awesome!!!! Go Sadie!! She must know that red meat slows down her digestion. 😉
That is awesome! Sadie opts for the healthier grilled chicken–too cute! HB Sadie!
Great idea, Julie! I’m all for it. We love getting to know you as a person…and fashion is just another way to do that. [:
Love your fashion ! You would have to mention an outfit being featured on the separate page bec otherwise I know I would forget to look ever.
And Sadie is too funny. 🙂
i would love a fashion page! i love it when bloggers show what they wear…i need all the help i can get 🙂
i love looking at blogger’s clothes, too! hopefully i can get this page up and running soon.
Wow! She made a bee-line for that chicken! I think that’s so sweet that you have a little birthday challenge for her each year! Too cute!
I love the idea of a fashion page. I’m always interested in everyday looks and would love to get some ideas from you!
I would love this page!! Definitely NOT dead weight 🙂
I would love this new fashion page! Great idea!
Great idea! You don’t have to be an official or self proclaimed fashionista. It’s a good idea to share fashion ideas if that’s something you’re interested in, and you’ve got a great outlet here for doing that. I’ve seen a couple pictures where I can see part of your shirt and wondered what the complete outfit was.
gotta love the KD shirt that Ryan is wearing!! James def has a few of those too 🙂 and i love the fashion page idea!
hahahaha i LOVE that you noticed that!
I love this video! That was hilarious watching Sadie run and grab the chicken out of the sandwich and leave the bun! She is so cute!
I love this idea! I love learning new fashion tips and ideas! I would definitely read it!
Cute video! You always look really cute in your pictures so a fashion section would be great! I am new to the whole business and business casual thing and cannot seem to put together outfits…I am clueless!
man, sadie’s my kinda dog. if i had to pick my favorite fast food, mcdonalds would ALWAYS win hands down! 🙂
and speaking of down… I’m definitely for the fashion page. I love seeing where others can get cute steals!
another idea… you could note how much each piece cost. if it was a good value, others are likely to want to go grab it! although I’m sure if I did a fashion page, I wouldn’t be able to remember the cost of a lot of my clothes!
i love that idea! honestly, i think it might struggle with it though, as i’ve had many of my clothes for YEARS. definitely something to consider, though!
So cute that Sadie went for the chicken! What a special treat for her on her birthday! You guys are awesome! I agree with everyone else, I would love to see a fashion section!
Yes please put a fashion page!!!!
That is too funny that she ate the chicken first I would have guessed beef too (my puppy would just about do anything for some beef!)
I love your outifts they are always so cute and put together! I love the idea of fashion posts!
Love the fashion page idea :).
Happy Birthday, Sadie! She is too cute!
Very cute outfit Juju! Now I may look to you for fashion advice as well :). Love the YouTube video! Chicken surprised me too haha! YAY for Sadie being 3!
I like the fashion page idea! Although I LOVE the idea of letting us know when it has new information so we know to check it 🙂
Well, Sadie shocked me- definitely thought she would sprint right to the beef 😀 Look at little Miss Healthy- love that she even avoided the bun- haha!!
And I can’t wait for the fashion page, I always think you have the best style. I seriously am fashion retarded!! LOL!
LOL Sadie is awesome!!!
hilarious video! sadie is the cutest 🙂
YES! I love your style! It’s comfortable, wearable, but really cute =]
I would LOVE if you added fashion to your blog. I have always loved that part of Ali’s blog, too.
By the way, totally surprised me that Sadie chose the chicken sandwich. Happy 3rd birthday, Sadie! P.S. Loved the poem, too.
I think a fashion feature is a great idea. I love to see what other people wear!
She’s too cute! She’s just like, omg, omg, it’s real food!
Personally, I’m not to keen on the fashion thing. I like when people post if they have something super cute to show off, like your rehearsal dinner dress, but otherwise I’m not to interested.
But it’s your blog. You should just write about what you like writing about.
Are those fiestaware?
