Happy Sunday, friendly faces!
I hope your weekend’s been a good one so far. Mine’s been cold and rainy for the most part, but at least that meant I was able to catch up on some work, errands, and blog stuff without feeling like I was missing out on much. And it cleared up last night so I’m planning on heading out to the lake later today…
I hope you guys have something equally as enjoyable planned, and if you find yourself with any spare moments that need filling, check out a few of these links that I’ve been loving this week. Oh! And if you haven’t already, be sure to enter my Swanson’s giveaway — it ends tonight!

Thanks darling for including me! It’s important to stay on top of that water 😉
You always find the best links! Like.. I seriously look forward to your link loves every week because I know that I am going to find a whole bunch of posts and recipes that I love. Thank you for that!
Thanks for the shout out buddy- I send u tuna and cheese melts…. Minus the tuna.
Sunday funday copycat hello kitty.
Loved the links about walking. I need to incoorporate more walking into my fitness routine.
I think changing the serving size will only lead to confusion. I totally use the serving size to measure out how much I eat of a particular product.
Yesterday: Tested out my new doggy bike carrier and took my doxie for a nice canal ride!
went to wholefoods (beat the closing time!!)
got the newspaper and drank my coffee (my new favorite way to relax)
Today: First date , meeting for a quick coffee
making cauliflower rice, homemade tomato sauce, and tons of overnight oats for the week!
crabbing with my parents !
Oh my goodness, that chia seed pudding. Almost too much.
The Do’s and Don’ts of Pinterest was a really good read! Thanks for finding it and all the other amazing links Amanda!
PS Thanks so much for featuring my ice cream sandwiches a while ago. I really appreciate it!
Looks like we got your rain – it’s raining here now! Luckily the rest of the weekend was pretty nice though.
3 things I did yesterday: Saturday was my birthday present to JZ so we went for a couple’s massage, spent the afternoon in Niagara Falls, and went out for dinner at an Italian restaurant.
3 things I did today: went to the farmers market, grabbed lunch at WF with a friend, and went on a walk.
Hope you’re enjoying your day at the lake!
can you send that cold and rain down here, we need it! then maybe i’d actually bake.. like these goodies you listed!
Thanks for including me! Glad the weather cleared up! Same here. Off to go enjoy zeeeee day!
It is abnormally cloudy and rainy here in AZ. It’s a good day to stay inside and rest. Although I am contemplating a swim later. Have a great day!
Again, another great list of blog links. This is one of my favorite stops because not only does this list inspire me, it helps me get more ideas for blog posts. Thank you for hosting and sharing!
How was Hercules?! I wanted to see it after seeing the initial trailor, but then I kept seeing the SAME commercial over and over while I was watching Netflix and completely got turned off by it. HA! So, I’m wondering if I should change my mind ;o)
Yesterday: Made Sally’s Award Winning Zucchini bread (one piece left in less than 24 hours… rats?), did some laundry, and GOT CHIPOTLE FOR DINNER (my parents are now obsessed muahahhaa)
Thanks for sharing these. I always have great interest in the articles you share because they are more relevant to my life (versus blogging articles I’ve probably read on other blogs already). I enjoyed the 20 healthiest foods a lot. I think I might right a post about that.
So many great links this week! (as usual) Thanks for sharing! I love digging into your links and finding new bloggers from the linkup every Sunday morning 🙂
Thanks so much for all the link love lady! Much appreciated!
Yesterday: walked around Ottawa, spent forever and a half searching out a health food store with kombucha and was finally successful (weird craving, but I’ll take it), went to a wedding party/celebration.
Today: meeting my cousin for lunch…and that’s all I got. We’ll see where today takes us – we talked about going into Quebec.
Enjoy your time at the lake! I’ve been in Wisconsin for a wedding after running a ridiculous amount of miles yesterday so I’m looking forward to crashing tonight 😉
Great links as always! I think I’ve got some reading to do! 😉
Yesterday: watched Easy Rider, drank too much iced coffee, meditated for a whopping 3 minutes
Today: drink too much iced coffee, play with my niece and get an early night <3
That lake looks beautiful! now that's somewhere I could probably meditate for longer than a few measly mins 😉
I love the Marc and Angel Hack Life links – great dose of inspiration/motivation in the morning! I’ll definitely be checking out more of their stuff 🙂
Checking out those 20 healthiest foods, to make sure I’m getting my share! Hope the rest of your weekend is a little more sunny! 😉
Great links! 🙂
Yesterday: prenantal yoga, errands + an afternoon pool party!
Today: home-made peach smoothie, newspaper in bed + maybe having a baby?? (I’m 39+ weeks prego and really hoping the lil makes her appearance :))
Yummmmmyyyy links! Why am I always so cruel to myself by reading posts like this just before a long run….a banana and bagel really isn’t very exciting compared to some of the things I see on here…..why cant I eat smores gooey bars before 17 miles??? Haha! Lots of good links, hopefully the rain stops for you!
Is it terrible that I can barely recall what I did yesterday? Ok wait, I got it – long run, beach time, mall time…Three things today – short run, probably movies because it is supposed to rain and random errands.
Thanks for the links as usual…I’m curious about the blogging calendar one since the idea seems unappealing initially but I can see where it would make me feel a lot more organized!
