Happy Sunday, friendly faces! š¤
How’s your weekend going? I ended up havingĀ to take a bit of a personalĀ day on Friday, which is why there was no post yesterday. But betweenĀ a broken oven (!!!!) and feeling a bit of burnout creeping in, I figured it would be a good idea to take a small step back and regroup. SO! I spent a good chunk of Friday and Saturday going over the blog’s mission statement andĀ planning for the upcoming month, and now I’m back in a way better headspace and really looking forward to November… which is in, like, 2 days š³
Craziness. But I hope you guys have an awesome Sunday and that you find something worth reading in this week’s Link Love. I’ll see you soon with a new recipe that I’m kind of really stoked about. Bye!

Wow, what an eventful weekend you had! It’s great to hear that you took some time for yourself and regrouped. It’s interesting how life always has a way of reminding us to slow down and take care of ourselves. I couldn’t help but notice the mention of the number 10 multiple times in your post, which is often associated with angel numbers like 10, symbolizing new beginnings and spiritual growth.
