Happy Sunday, friendly faces!
I have breakfast for you!
Or lunch/dinner if you roll that way 😉 But if you didn’t get a chance to check out the apple cinnamon baked French toast recipe that I posted yesterday, I’d love it if you went to sneak a peak.
And, of course, I’ve got plenty of other great links for you to read this week! Including the elusive health and fitness links tat were missing last week.
Hope you have a great Sunday! Talk to you soon 😀

Yesterday: Took my grandparents to the airport, watched a movie with my sick sister (rough job), and listened to some new songs my (other) sister shared with us.
Today: Made cookies with glaze BY MYSELF (not something I usually do 😉 ), watched a movie ( 😀 ), and looked up a bunch of actors (and consequentially, their families as well) online for a discussion we were having about who we thought would make a good Gaston in the live-action Beauty and the Beast. Because even though it’s way past the selection process, we like to come up with our own choice of cast from the small selection of movies that we’ve seen. 😀
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
I’m so ridiculously excited for that Beauty and the Beast movie! It’s my favourite Disney flick, so I’m really hoping they don’t muck it up!
Abbie
Same here! I’m feel like it could be really good or really bad… With stuff like this I just want to let someone I trust see it first and tell me whether I should see it or not. Then I feel bad for making them my guinea pig. 😀
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles
Yesterday: worked, went grocery shopping, sent off a few job applications.
Today: RAN A HALF MARATHON, walked the dog, and now I’m sitting on my couch which is where I plan to be for the foreseeable future.
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
Congrats again on your marathon!!! You rocker of sockers, you.
Jade @ Surrendered Stomach
Was a great day today and these links made it even better! 😉 Loved the quotes from marcandangel especially… I’ve always enjoyed quotes and these were so inspiring! Thanks!
Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health
It’s like you read my mind with these links! I’m turning 31 in a few week so I can totally relate to the Mind Body Green article. Learning to let go of time schedules for your life is so important, although it’s something I still struggle with. And I desperately need to make a media kit so thank you for that one too!
Oh, and of course thank you for including my muffins! 🙂
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
The time schedule thing is something that still comes up for me as well, so you’re definitely not alone on that one! And same goes for the media kit — I really need to update mine as well 😆
Emily @ My Healthyishlife
Thank you so much for including my post! Means a lot.

I hope your cat napping involved a very special cat 🙂

Those work exercises are great… I have a standing desk because I couldn’t take sitting all day anymore!
Yesterday: SoulCycle, went to the Brit + Co Re:Make festival, dinner with friends
Today: About to go run, headed out to the city to take some photos, getting caught up on life… blah
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
Standing desks are amazing. I keep my laptop on a counter so I can avoid sitting all day as well. Now if I had a treadmill desk, I’d be in heaven.
Erin@BeetsPerMinute
OMG! That breakfast recipe idea! I always LOVE your Sunday Link Love posts, but especially today since you included one of mine! Thanks so much for the support, Amanda!

I immediately clicked on that pumpkin spice body scrub! I MUST MAKE IT. I am all about pumpkin right now of course…but having something pumpkin-y to use in the shower takes it to a whole new level of obsession! LOL

Pumpkin body scrub!? I think I’d end up eating (licking) myself :O Hahahahahahahahaha!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been tempted to lick a cream because they smelled so.dang.good. That scrub is one I’d probably feel safer actually trying, though 😆
Michele @ paleorunningmomma
Yesterday – 20 mile run, not much after that! Today – grocery shopping, recipe creation, blogging 🙂 Have a great Sunday!
