I’ve actually been holding off on reading this because I get lost in all the great links you share and lose far too much time. It’s generally worth it though especially since I get great blogging tips and find new to me bloggers that I add to my blog lovin list, bloggers more in line with my school of thought. Thanks much, as always.
Thanks for sharing!!!

Hello Amanda,
Thank you so much for featuring my post that I did on Thursday (Thoughts on Fitness and Exercise)! I really appreciate that!!
I’m just now getting around to reading others’ posts, and I see you have a great bunch of other excellent links to posts and articles. I’m going to check these out.
I hope you are having a great Sunday! 🙂

Thanks so much for the link love! 🙂
Three things I did yesterday: made pancakes for breakfast, biked to the farmers market, and baked dessert to bring to JZ’s friend’s birthday last night
Three things I did today: walked to a local bakery for breakfast with JZ, made and photographed a new recipe, and sat on my butt while I read out recipe instructions to my mom for dinner (lol seriously – I was too pooped to contribute).
The ’10 Habits…’ article is one of the best written ones I’ve read on this subject lately! So, so, so true!
Three things I did yesterday: explored B’ham a bit more (moved here just a few days ago), wrote my first blog post (!!!) and treated myself to a delicious dinner (sweet potato, goats cheese, hummus, eggs & beetroots).
Today: went to my first hot yoga class (loved it!), did a bit of food shopping & prep and watched the men’s Wimbledon final!
Hope you had a lovely dinner at your parents’!
I have literally only done three things this weekend – run, beach and eat. Amazing weekend!
Kind of jealous… although I’d be tempted to replace beach with mountains 😉
Thank you so much for sharing my post, friend! Lots of great reads this week, I better get to it! 😉
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Great links, as always! I always have so much to read on Sundays from your post and everyone who shares 🙂 Sounds like you had the perfect summer weekend, too!

Thanks for the link Amanda, just off to check out some of your others, have a great Sunday!
ughhh burpees. I only do them when someone tells me too, even though I know how good they are!
Yesterday: groceries, extra-long walk with the dog (not because I was planning on it, but because I was lost in thought and missed where I was supposed to turn…), out for dinner
Today: going to a festival, cleaning, eating lots of food at said festival.
Happy Sunday love!
Aww-thanks so much for the link love! I am honored, sweet lady!
As good as burpees are – I love to hate ’em too – specially after doing the 100 burpee challenge!
Yesterday was an unusually cool day here in Georgia (70’s is considered cool here) and I got to hang outside doing lunch/dessert with a friend – also served and attended church last evening and ended the evening watching “Rookie Blue” and eating leftover flourless cake with my daughter. Today am going to a friends church as he just got a gig playing in their band and gotta put curtains up in my daughter’s newly painted room and cut my grass if it doesn’t rain. Hope you have a blast at your block party and your parents! Happy Sunday 🙂
70’s considered cool? 😯 Oh goodness I wouldn’t survive — it was in the 70’s here today and I thought I was going to die… I guess I’m just not make for the heat 😆
Hope you’re having an awesome time in Vegas!! Heading over to check out the beet pizza crust… sounds incredible!
Yesterday did a step class supposedly it will help strengthen my calf. Then I met a friend and did lots of shopping. Today is all about relaxing and getting ready for a crazy work week. My project kicks off this week so we will be scrambling. My firm demands perfection.
