Guess who is the most excited that I will now be working from home?
Off to celebrate!
Living a Life Fueled by Healthy Food and Fitness
by Julie 98 Comments
My name is Julie and I am a full-time blogger, new mama, fitness enthusiast (certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor) and food fanatic (mostly healthy... but also not-so-healthy) living in North Carolina with my husband, dog and baby boy. Thank you for visiting Peanut Butter Fingers! I hope you enjoy little glimpses into my life and have fun trying the sweaty workouts I frequently share and making some of my favorite recipes along the way!

I’ll bet Sadie is going to go cah-razy!! I’m glad to see that you’ll have a great co-worker. 😉
Chad @ thebreakupnote says
I really like the Relax Riesling. It was pretty fruity.
peanutbutterfingers says
it’s my favorite kind of wine!
Jess says
Relax was my favorite until I tried Dr. L Riesling. It’s so so good! If you can find it, definitely worth a try!
peanutbutterfingers says
Oh I’ll look for it!
Kody says
Relax is my favorite too!
Emily says

Stephanie @ LiveCookLove says
What a perfect ending to such a great day!! Now… a more serious matter… have you picked an island for the “blogger building” yet?? 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says

Stephanie @ LiveCookLove says
I think that will do. The Bachelorette finale is there, so we can scope it out when it airs. I’ll also go ahead and suggest Hawaii and Bermuda 🙂

Hilary says
I love this! Sadie is the sweetest dog ever. Your blog is the one I most look forward to reading every day! Can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Kelly says
Congratulations on your new adventure! I found your blog a few months back while looking for ideas for overnight oats. I now read everyday and often use some of your recipes. Thank you for sharing your endevours with us! Pb fingers is my favorite blog 🙂
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
I tell ya, pups can be the most wonderful coworkers but they are so hard to say no to when they want to go out and play! 😛
Congratulations! 🙂
Liv @ The Salty n' Sweet says
What a cutie! You definitely deserve a celebration 🙂
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
Hahahaha. I adore every single thing about this. Especially the “g-chatting side by side” idea coupled with the “making up dances to show danny when he gets home.”
Probably because I know from experience that both activities coupled in the same night are a LOT of fun.
Not that I would know from experience, or anything…
Kaitlyn @ 7 Plates says
Oh my gosh. I’m so excited for you.. seriously. I’m starting to fall in love with blogging and I just started. its amazing how much your life can change!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
Sadie must not have read your blog earlier — does she really want to taste test your smoothie when you make them taste like armpits? 🙂
Kayleigh says
Your dog is too cute in these pictures! Congrats, again! You’ll be great!
Jane says
Congratulations Julie, that is awesome news. It is very rare to find a job that you absolutely love, you are very lucky and you totally deserve it – Sadie is also very lucky to have you home every day, she won’t know what to do with herself 🙂
Just curious about the fashion page – what will you be wearing to ‘work’ now??
Alicia says
Well this is my 3rd comment of the day.. It pretty much looks like I have no life… haha But I had to comment cause I just watched that movie yesterday for the 4th time.. enjoy!
peanutbutterfingers says
I’m liking it so far!
Erin says

So cute!
Lauren says
So cute – I love when Sadie “talks!”
Kaitlyn @ 7 Plates says
Oh.. I also wanted to tell you that YOU inspired me to start a blog + eat healthy/exercise. I found your blog about a year ago off of Google. So thank you!!! 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
Isn’t blogging the best!? So glad you’re enjoying it!
Daniella @Runner at Heart says
Riesling is the best its my new summertime drink!
Silvina says
Congrats Julie! I admire your courage for doing something most people would only dream of doing! 🙂
Khushboo says
Hahah great post! I wouldve said Sadie is in for a treat but as there will be dances, I think Daddy is more in for a treat!

Haha I’m a little partial. 🙂
Carly says

Sarah K. @ The Pajama Chef says
i’m just catching up on blogs for the day…but congrats julie! so excited for you!
SaraRM says
Aww you seem so happy! I really hope it all works out fabulous for you!
Lisa @ Fit in the Midwest says
I saw your big news earlier today and was shocked, but so happy to read your news (partially because I dream of the day when I can put my two weeks in and pursue a career that interests me more than my current one does). A huge congrats Julie!
Enjoy working from home with your great new co-worker!
Melissa Simson says
Congrats Julie! Sometimes a leap of faith is all you need to make your life THAT much better. Life i too short to not follow your real passions and think ” what ifs”. I recently took a HUGE one myself, gave my 2 week notice, and moved to NYC from San Francisco for a new job in a total new industry. I’m learning every day, and it’s sad I left everyone I know behind but, I am so grateful I did this. Every day is an adventure and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I can’t wait to see what you get up to! Any freelance ideas yet?
Oh and I love Riesling too. Relax is pretty good but my all time favourite is Prinz from germany.
Laura Fredlund says
awww, Yayyy for Sadie!!:D
Lindsey says
Those pictures are so cute! If I had a dog, I would definately feed it peanut butter too 🙂
Sana says
Yay, can’t wait to see what you have in store!
janet says
Have you seen the SATC2 Fashion book? It’s amazing!
Congrats on living the dream … Your “new” co-worker is adorable!
Camels & Chocolate says
As of December, my husband now works from home, too. (I have for four years.) And our one-year-old puppy is SO spoiled from having both mom and dad home all day every day that she gets severe separation anxiety when we DO have to leave her!
Brittany says
Sadie is going to love having you at home all day!!!!
Sarah says
SATC2 and wine?? What better way to celebrate. Have a wonderful time… enjoy tomorrow just as much!
