. link love 8/17 .

August 17, 2014 by Amanda @ .running with spoons. 36 Comments

Happy Sunday, friendly faces! πŸ˜€

It’s that time of the week again! The day where I share some links that I’ve been loving with you guys and hope that you enjoy them as well!

I really wish that I could come up with some better intros for these posts, but writing those suckers is the bane of my existence and I’d much rather you spend your time checking out these awesome links than listening to me ramble… which you’re doing right now πŸ˜‰ And is it just me or do I keep adding more and more links each week? Oops. So much to read… so little time!

Love ya! See ya tomorrow!

    How was The Giver??? I remember reading it as a child, but I don’t remember the main jist of the book anymore.

    Yesterday: tanned, Aunt and Uncle stopped in the say “hi”, and got a pedicure with my mommy.
    Today: Walmart run (kill me), visiting my new niece(!!!!), and possibly baking something for my brother and his girlfriend to snack on while staying up all night with Sophia. Haha!

    Ahh thanks so much for the link share, love…always such an honor :-)! Really enjoy the blog-related links- they are such a wealth of information! How as The Giver? It’s playing here but the synopsis doesn’t sound particularly great- hopefully I am wrong! My Sunday involved baking peanut butter & banana squares, going over to my cousin’s place & watching Mrs. Doubtfire :-)!
