Three things you did yesterday; three things you’re going to do today. Go:
Yesterday: met a friend for coffee, drove around with my parents to look at new homes, and went over to a friend’s place to watch the World Cup.
Today: church, lots of time in the kitchen for recipe experimentation, and Father’s Day BBQ.

Very slick, sneaking the egg and quinoa pie in there. I’m onto you Spoons.
Alright I opened a zillion links or perhaps 8, which I promise to read. In the meantime, I wanted to say Hi. Love the picture of you and your dad; it’s fabulous and all kinds of chin-tastic.
I’ll do Sat/Sun since they are MUCH better than today 🙂
Sat: wine country in Oregon, had an amazing sushi dinner, drank canned pinot noir (that was actually great)
Sun: run that ended with a stop for ice cream, lots of oysters and cheese for lunch, flew home (the worst)
Awwww such a cutie!!! Teach me how to like the world cup…not that I have time for that but stilllll
Spoons we had the same hairdresser growing up. That, or they used the same bowl. 😉
You do have his chin! Aw, so cute! 🙂
You always have a great list and thank you so much for including me!!
You look a lot like your Dad! I do too. Yesterday I got a sports massage and have bruises to prove it. I weight trained, spinned & swam. I went to the Y for instructor discovery hour. Today I walked 10 miles, booked a flight to WI to see my mom & recipe testing/food prepping.
I hope you and your dad enjoyed the weekend! I loved all these posts, especially the one by Ollie. Such valid points!
Aww such a cute photo of you and your dad! I hope you enjoyed your weekend.
Lots of great link love to help me catch up on my blog reading!
Looking at new homes? Are you moving? Also, I spy a certain likeliness you’ve jumped on the Crossfit/ Bootcamp workout wagoon ;). I’m still too intimidated though I like workouts that kick my butt.
Happy Sunday to you and your dad – the picture’s adorable.
Nope! No bandwagons for me just yet 🙂 I just know people like them so I thought they’re be good to share.
Happy Sunday to you too, girl! Or maybe Monday by now…
Aww! You are so cute Amanda! Not much has changed 🙂
As always, you have the BEST articles! I always find new things to read and learn – hope you are having a great weekend!
Awe! I love that you’re posed the same way you’ve posed in your welcome photo! It’s crazy to see how we are the same people when we’re little!
Cutest picture of you and your dad above! Three things I did today were bake a citrus oat bran loaf, get a head start on some work for the week and go for a Mad Hatters-themed high tea…perfect Sunday :D!
These were some great links! So many of them were exactly what I needed to look at. I had a rough weekend with my recovery… My spirits are lifted and I’m feeling more motivated to be well. Thanks !
Yesterday: treated myself to Starbucks, went to the horse races with my family, got a baaaad sunburn.
Today: ran 5 miles, made a new buffalo dip, grilling kebabs for Father’s Day!
Those rough patches happen to us all in recovery. Chin up, girl 🙂 It gets better — promise.

I love your links!! It lead me to the Rhonna app and I love it!! Thanks 🙂
Aww! I hope he’s having a great Father’s Day!
Great links to read through, thanks for sharing those Amanda. Especially for me the “How To Learn To Like Running” one. It’s often just good to read through something like that to remind yourself of the benefits of why you are doing something! Plus, I never thought of considering it before as “me” time. I definitely will be now! 🙂
Thank you SO much for including my post! I really am a huge believer that CrossFit doesn’t HAVE to be super scary and I’m so happy that I’ve found another way to stay active that I’m absolutely LOVING! 🙂
i’m scared to look at pinch of yums recap—> total envy, not good. 😉
Ugh, I know! That girl is just amazing.
Thanks for the link love! That pic of you and your Dad is adorable 🙂
Ooooh, how to learn to like running… I feel that the beginning of any run sucks, even if you’ve been running for a while. The first few miles are brutal but once you make it past the pain point, you realize it feels pretty darn good! Unless you’re running a marathon that is, and then I hear the last 6 are the worst 😉
I am always so honored when you share my links. Like really, thank you. It means a lot to me…Three things yesterday – long run, Red Mango and my son’s little league championship game (winners!)…Three things today – beach run, Father’s Day stuff and if I am lucky, some more Red Mango (my fave weekend lunch treat)
Really enjoy your link love. Always like to take a few minutes to check out those great reads!! Thanks for sharing and hosting!!
I always love clicking through the links you find, Amanda! ALSO I just figured out how to add my link- success! 😀 Happy Father’s Day!
Yesterday- Started studying for my finals (this Thurs and Friday… eeeep!), got a haircut, got Mexican for dinner for the first time in AGES (for the record, vegan soycurl fajita burritos are freakishly delicious)
Today-Filming and editing a new video to go up tomorrow, getting gifts for teachers for the end of the year, and (hopefully, if the weather cooperates!) firing up the grill for the first time this season- grilled tofu with pineapple salsa and coconut rice is what I’m hoping for!

Happy Fathers Day to your dad! That picture is super cute:)) I definietly have my eye on quite a few links to check out! I know what part of my Sunday is going to involve! And thanks muchly for including my post in here too! xoxo
Thank you so much for adding me Darling!!
I LOVE the pic of you and your Dad. ADORABLE.
Aww love the hair-do! Happy Fathers Day to Daddy-Spoon (Table Spoon!?)
Today is all about Daddy-Cat – so far I’ve made him a pretty impressive breakfast if I do say so myself, a bear-shaped cake and presented my gift: a craft beer brewery tour for 2. All things I can enjoy with him… typical 😉
A bear shaped cake!? Awwr! Sounds adorable. And nothing makes a better present than a father-daughter date 🙂
That picture of you and your dad is so, so adorable! Hope he has a fabulous Father’s Day!
Yesterday: saw The Fault In Our Stars, had a visit with Eric’s brother and sister-in-law, got sushi for dinner.
Today – cleaning, going over to my parent’s for dinner/Father’s Day, taking over their laundry room for a day.
Absolutely love your intro picture… so sweet! Hope your daddy has a very happy Father’s Day! I’m glad that you mentioned your quinoa pie. I want to make that very soon.
Great links, especially liked when healthy isn’t healthy for you…such a great reminder to focus on yourself
