Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀
I’m going to keep this brief because I’m currently sitting out in the middle of the woods ninjaing wifi off my cell phone and the reception is kind of sketchy so I have no idea when it’s going to boot me off. I didn’t want to miss out on sharing some Link Love with you guys, though, so here’s a pretty great collection of links that I’ve been loving over the past week… just for your Sunday morning/afternoon/evening reading pleasure 😀
As for me, I’m off to do some more galavanting in the woods, so I’ll see you guys in a few days!

I think you should throw yourself a shameless plus. You certainly deserve it, and those muffins did look pretty fabulous.
I LOVED the link about foods that heal common health problems. In fact, I have an entire book dedicated to this very subject. It’s a topic near and dear to my heart.
Mine too <3 It's how my momma raised me.
Great idea, sharing The Healthy Maven’s post about the secret to skinny. It was one of the best posts I’ve read in awhile 🙂
Love that rise and shine workout!!!! I’m very ADD so I love quick and fun workouts!
Who knew ice cube trays could be so useful! I need to jump on that bandwagon.
Thanks for the shout up buddy- I think because you highlighted salmon, you need to eat it. It’s just standard.
SO ENVIOUS YOU WENT RAFTING!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Hunn!!
And gosh….PLEASE come back safely!! I don’t like this while camping idea with the bears!

I could spend my whole weekend clicking through all your links! That post on numbers was fantastic and every.single.one of those recipes has my mouthwatering. Happy weekend Amanda!
I love these post. I always learn something. I loved the 24 touching photos and the how to hand stand!
Thanks Amanda!
White water rafting is in my bucket list! I always wanted to do it but a little scared. Be safe and I want to hear about your experience!
Your weekend sounds amazing! I would love love love to go to Jasper one day. Although I’ve been many places in the western US, I’ve never been west of Niagra up in Canada. I’m almost a shame I haven’t seen much of my own country yet have visited many states and other countries.
Jasper and Banff are gorgeous! There’s nothing quite like the Canadian Rockies 🙂
Thanks for the link love babes!!! Hope you’re having fun in the woods. I’m always in the woods…but inside…with wifi LOL. I’m a great “glam”per 😉
So many great posts today! Thanks and have a great weekend!
Thank you for sharing my post Amanda. I really appreciate it! Anyways I always love your weekly links because I find new blogs, bloggers and interesting articles. Have a great day rafting!
White Water Rafting!!! I want to go too!!! Hahaha.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Yesterday was a good day for me..I had my longest run ever (8.15 miles) considering a barely run 2 times a week, I also had a wonderful lunch with my best friend who just came to visit and finally cleaned up my closet…:)
Today is simple. I plan to eat, rest and get a little tan…
Loved that link from Sally… made me feel better about my little blog. I’ve had it almost a year and just want it to grow… but then again, lots of time and effort has to go into that! I’m getting there slowly, I think.
Yesterday: long run, wasted my entire day in bed basically (whoops), errands
Today: made pancakes, yoga later, signed up for a fall marathon (!!!)
Time, effort, and patience for sure. I once heard something about it taking around 3 years to really set up a good blogging foundation for yourself. And you’ve just gotta stick it out even if you feel like you’re not getting anything in return at the beginning!
Another resource for free ebooks I found is on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/freeEBOOKS
3 things I did yesterday: worked out, shopped, saw a bike race downtown
3 things today: worked out, grocery shopped, going to see the movie “Guardians of the Galaxy”!
Sounds like you’re having a great weekend 🙂
Yesterday – blogging, worked at a wedding, collapsed in a heap on the sofa
Today – caught up with an old friend, food shopping and made your amazing banana mug cake! Yum!
Ahh, thanks so much for the link love, girl!
Yesterday my husband and I got the oil changed in our car – loads of fun – and went out four Mexican food with our friends and finished it off with a cannoli ;).
Jealous that you’re going white water rafting! I’ve always wanted to try it even though I’m pretty sure I would actually die.
Yesterday: groceries, went out to dinner with my mom, saw Wish I Was Here.
Today: cleaning, going to the gym, taking the pug for a long walk.
Another great list of links. Time to go read!
Hope you are having a blast in the woods, girlie…and congrats on the Buzzfeed feature- exciting stuff! I have been feeling under the weather this weekend so it’s involved a lot of reading, watching TV and indulging in massages!
Awwr! Hope you’re feeling better, love <3
Thanks so much for featuring my salad in a jar tutorial! Have fun in the woods and way to go on your Buzzfeed feature. They totally should have included your Greek yogurt pancakes too… you know how much I love those! 🙂
