Happy Sunday, friendly faces!
How’s the weekend been treatin’ ya so far? Mine’s been nice and quiet, which is awesome because I really needed a chance to attend to a few things… like my exploding laundry basket and those pesky leftover frozen strawberries…
Boom! Nailed it! My first time making/trying chia seed jam, and I have to say that it’s pretty darn good! I actually had a hard time not eating it straight from the jar, but I needed it for a recipe that I’m planning on sharing with you guys tomorrow, so I had to reign it in a little 😉
Anywho! I hope you’re all having an awesome weekend, and I hope you find some time to check out some of these awesome links I came across this week. Don’t forget to add your favourite links to the linkup at the bottom, and make sure to have an awesome day! See you tomorrow!
