Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀
So I totally didn’t mean to disappear on you guys yesterday! I had a recipe all lined up and ready to go, but when I went to upload the pictures…. my computer wouldn’t recognize the camera. Something about the files being corrupt? I don’t know; I’m not the best when it comes to technology. And I’m not the best when it comes to dealing with problems with technology, so after literally trying everything and shedding more tears than I care to admit, I opted to just reshoot and push the recipe back a few days. I would have had it up today, buuuuut Sunday’s are all about the Link Love.
Lots of good stuff to read this week, so I hope you find something you enjoy, and I’ll see you tomorrow with some good food!

Great writing it is such a good and nice idea thanks for sharing your article .I like your post.
Thanks.
Thank you for the link love, my friend! Happy Monday! xo
Oh my gosh it’s the worst when pictures get messed up!! One time I did a photo shoot and the pictures..disappeared. I still to this day don’t know what happened to them, but I totally cried because I was so excited about the photos AND I had very little opportunity to take photos in good lighting. Hugs!! (<-although I'm sure you didn't have a melt down like I did..ha!)
Ohhhh I was definitely on the verge of meltdown territory. I just try to keep in mind that the world doesn’t end and try to make the most of it. Like… at least I’m ahead on posts for this week 🙂
Aw, I had no idea about the picture technology problem. That just stinks, especially when everything else was ready.
Yesterday: drove two and a half hours to New York for family dinner (really lunch), did Family Dinner (really lunch), drove two and half hours back to Cleveland. Yeah that was my day, although I did read a book in the car; for work. Womp, womp.
Today: blog (first post vacation post is up), drink water, lemon water and coffee, and that’s about it….although the day is very young so I expect that to change in about five minutes when I have to get ready for work.
I literally did a happy dance when I saw that you had a post up. Going to indulge NOW.
technology is no fun. But you, you are fun! and I so appreciate you! <3
I’m so sorry!! Technology hates me too, I’m sure of it!! Love the link party tho! 🙂 thank you so much for hosting and featuring the cookies!
They look incredible! As do so many of your other recipes 🙂 Hope you’re having a great start of the week!
I would have been in tears if that happened to me! Nothing like doing all that work and having tech issues!!
Yesterday: long run, got my nails done, explored Oakland
Today: SoulCycle, brunch with a friend, getting some blog stuff done (hopefully)
I barely remember yesterday! ha. Three things today – short run, catch up on work stuff and hopefully out for lunch…. I hate tech issues, as you know. I am the worst at this stuff! No patience.
I love reusable water bottles but they definitely freak me out because they can get gross. I have a little brush to clean my straws too. Thanks for sharing such great links!!
I’m okay with them for the most part as long as they’re clear so that I can see if anything is colonizing in there. But I definitely don’t end up cleaning mine as much as I should. Eep!
I’ve been wanting to try to make my own almond milk for a while, thanks for sharing, that was an interesting read 🙂 have a great Sunday!
I completely empathize with tech problems – they are overwhelming, confusing, and if I fix something it’s only by accident!
I love your weekly link love! The beauty hacks one is great. I use Vaseline all the time; it is my favorite eye makeup remover.
Right?! I love it for when my under eye area is looking tired or dry. Instantly makes you look a little more awake and healthy.
Ahh computers…It seems that they pick the most inopportune times to mess up. 🙁 Sounds like you’ve been having a great weekend otherwise and thanks for the link up! Enjoy church and the lake!
Oh no… technology can be the worst! I hope you’ve got it all figured out now. Can’t wait to see the yummy recipe you’ll be sharing! Thanks for hosting!
I am so not a techie either – but blogging has taught more more than I imagined!
Are cameras and/or laptops currently conspiring against us as their users? Because I’ve been experiencing the same problem for the past weeks. I did somehow manage to work around it with my laptop graciously uploading the pictures after half a dozen trials but it took forever and was very odd.
Have fun at the lake!
Technology is the bane of my existence. Whenever I go to upload recipe photos from my SD card, it’s a huge process that may lead to them all being deleted and the card needing reformatting and then having to use a recovery program to save them all….too many tears too many times for sure!
Ack that sounds horrible. Do you have an option to transfer via a USB cable? That’s the route I go, and it -usually- works without a hitch.
I feel for you on the technology issue! My MAC crashed suddenly last month without warning. It was awful and I lost a lot of work that I had downloaded from my camera. Hope yours works after you reshoot!
Ugh that’s the worst! I’ve gone through 3 Mac hard drives already. Apparently I’m hard on my laptops? 😆
Wham. Bam. thank you ma’am.
