Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀
And more importantly… Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! Especially to this guy right here…
Ahh Papa Spoons. I love him so. And I just realized that I’m sporting the same look as I am in the picture in my profile 😆 Apparently it’s one I’ve been perfecting over the years.
Anywho, I hope you guys have an awesome day, and make sure to go outside and enjoy it since it also happens to be the first day of summer (woop!). But first, check out some of these links I’ve been loving over the past week — lots of good stuff in there!

It was so rainy in CT this weekend that I was totally content with laying in bed and binge watching Blue Bloods on Netflix. I was able to get out and enjoy SOME sunshine on Sunday afternoon for lunch with my parents to celebrate Father’s Day and then a low key BBQ with my boyfriends family to celebrate his dad. Thanks for sharing some great links!

How was Pitch Perfect?!?! I haven’t seen it yet. Must go ASAP.
Yesterday: worked until 7 am, ran some errands, laid in my bed and watched OITNB and drank beer. Clearly, that last one is my favourite.
Today: went to a step class, bemoaning the cold weather outside (first day of summer, WTF?) and working shortly.
That photo of you and your dad is so precious!
Yesterday: went to a farmer’s market, went for a beautiful walk with my mommabear, and worked.
Today: bloggy stuff, checking out a big Car Free Day event/festival downtown, and working again!
Hi Amanda! The blogging links you share are always my favorite. Yesterday, I taught classes at Orangetheory Fitness, I did yoga at home, I went to an Oakland A’s baseball game, and I also played with my new pup. Quite the day! 🙂 Happy Sunday!
I love this picture of you and your dad.
Yesterday: yard work, gelato, and a cook party with the Hubby.
Today: a run (hopefully), lunch with the in-laws at our place, and blog work.
Happy Father’s Day to your papa and to all of ours! I guess we were both in a cookie dough mood this week 🙂

Happy Father’s Day to your dad! Enjoy your day and thanks for many helpful links 🙂
