Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀
How the heck are you?! I am super happy that it’s Sunday, because that means that tomorrow is Monday and that means that I can put this crazy week behind me. Oi. I don’t know what the heck it was, but I felt all sorts of scatterbrained and off this week. Heck, I’m writing this intro at 2 AM on Saturday night, if that tells you anything.
That being the case, I’m going to keep things short and sweet and tell you that I hope you enjoy these links that I’ve been loving over this past crazy week. Well, that and I hope you have yourselves an awesome day and I’ll see you tomorrow with a new recipe! 😀

Thank you for the link love lady!
Can’t wait to check these out!!
You see all the movies I want to see! I wish I lived closer so we could go together! I want to go alone, but then I feel odd. But sometimes, it’s nice to just go see a movie by yourself. AHH.
And now I just want to make Rice Krispy treats to put them on ice cream. yum
Clicking over to those blogging resources now, I definitely could use more help! Thanks for always including that section 🙂
can’t wait to read the article about being alone!

Thanks for the reads! Yesterday was a workout, closet organization and a movie. Today is church, the farmers’ market and getting ready for the week. Enjoy your Sunday!
I can really relate to being alone. Due to my husband and I’s schedule, there are days and months that I become fully alone. I’ve learned to embrace them and make the best out of the situation.
Yesterday: I slept in, I ran in 33 degree heat, I put a towel in the freezer and slept with it on top of me
Today: I woke up early, going to run in much cooler temps, buying a kiddie pool for me and the baby! xo
Thanks for those photography tips! I’m trying to get getter about taking awesome photos :)))
I’m back, and I feel very off! Travel and time change is not my thing, but it was a great week. Looking forward to being back in the swing of blogging this week. Hopefully things calm down for you, the universe has to balance right?
