That mountain view is stunning!! I hope you had a wonderful time playing in the snow. Thanks for all of the great links, as always!
YAY links to distract me from real life. Thanks :). I especially love the blogging-related links. Off to go read <3.
Hey Amanda, thanks so much for including my post on blogging in your link love round up! 🙂 It’s a pleasure to meet you via blogging, and I’m glad you found it useful! 🙂 Have a wonderful week!
Great links! I had a good weekend. I worked Friday and Saturday but on Sunday I had a great day with my husband. It was nice to take a break from the internet world. 🙂
Those unplugged days are always so wonderful, eh? Gives you a little chance to breathe and makes you look forward to getting back at it 🙂
Love those mountains – today I am lifting some weights, prepping recipes fro recipe book (!) and emails (boo!)
Thanks for including my Apple Pie Oatmeal Cookies! 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful week!
This is a wonderful post. I need to make sure I make it over here more often. I could spend hours reading all those post (I actually probably will).
Three things I did yesterday: went to barre, taught barre, and watched UFC fight night. Today: ran 5 miles, went to church, had family dinner at my in-laws.
thanks again for these wonderful posts!
You’re the best for sharing my sketti squash especially since you’ve never laid mouth on one!!
Yay for mountains! I’m going snowboarding for the first time in 2 years next weekend. Looking forward to it. Thanks so much for including me. So, so appreciate it!
Thanks for the link love!
I love that these posts are always heavy on the desserts in the food section – you’re a girl after my own heart. 😉
😆 Omg I can’t help it! Even 90% of my Pinterest is desserts and sweets…
That view! It takes me back to memories of past skiing holidays with the family every time. Wow, it’s been forever ago. I hope you had fun and will be able to follow the call of the Mountains many more times before the season’s over.
Thanks for sharing my link <3 .
Yesterday- woke up at a hotel, cleaned the house, and step foot in our new RV!
Today- Spin + Strength training workout, blogging and computer time, grocery shopping (in a bit-hasn’t happened yet)
Oh that picture of the snow and the mountains..so pretty. Makes me want to start traveling NOW!
That view is gorgeous!!!!!
you keep forgetting to take me with you to the mountains! i’ll bring the bread pudding. 😉
Meet me in the mountains in May! <3 And bring the bread pudding 😉
Oh my GAWD I wish we had scenery like that! It’s drizzling and not cold enough for snow. Womp womp.

I am SO jealous of your vaycay. Enjoy!
You found some great links again this week! I’ve saved a bunch to read over the next few days. Thanks!
Whattt fireworks randomly?? That’s so cool! So jealous of all your time in the mountains lately!
Yesterday: Long run, Got my nails done, Went to get vegan Japanese with Kit!
Today: Yoga, braving union square to go shopping maybe??, not sure what all else!
It was Jasper in January! A festival they’ve held for… I wanna say close to 30 years now?… so the fireworks were for that 🙂
Oh what gorgeous scenery! I love the mountains. It’s my favourite spot to vacation.
Thanks for sharing my post on how to avoid blogger burnout. I really appreciate the mention… and I look forward into digging through the other links you shared as well.
Wishing you a lovely day.
xoxo
Hope you’re having fun in the mountains!! Can’t wait to get back out there in the summer!
I think my favorite part about today’s post is you said you’d see us in “a day or two.” You know why this makes me happy. It allows you the freedom to take tomorrow off should you need a little post-mountain recovery time.
I adored Chelsea’s post on frozen yogurt and really appreciated the info on Iron. I was consciously upping my iron intake last week (ahem, that time of the month) so I found it very helpful and informative. Thanks for sharing.
Also, I’m so glad I never travel with people who would have that little appreciate for some of our greatest sights. Granted, some were funny, but I would have back handed the commenter at the Anne Frank house.
Happy Sunday Friendly Face. Enjoy it.
My day or two turned into three. Oops 😳
You take all the time you need, but come back Wednesday. 🙂
3 things yesterday – run, rest, shopping…..3 things today – pure barre, crazy food shopping/running around before a sudden blizzard is coming like tomorrow into Tuesday and taking my son to his basketball game.
Great links, but that No. 13 is very triggering as that girl is obviously severely underweight and possibly dealing with an eating disorder. I know it’s not a post you put up, but even the image is rather disturbing.
I apologize for that, Meg. Unfortunately, such is the nature of a free-for-all linkup. It lies in the contributor’s discretion.
I like the article about why fro-yo isn’t healthier than ice cream because I’ve always like ice cream better and gotten it instead of fro-yo anyway 😉
Those mountains look amazing! I love fireworks. Today’s agenda includes church, the farmers market and an appointment at work later today. Have a great Sunday and thanks for all the good reads!
Have fun on the mountains!
Told you so 😉
