Happy Sunday, friendly faces! ?
Aaaand welcome to another day where we share ALL the good links from the past week! Well, not all all because that’d be impossible and borderline crazy, but enough to add at least 20 tabs to your browser window and keep you busy for a solid 45 minutes.
And if you need something to snack on during those 45 minutes, might I suggest these chunky monkey cups that I posted yesterday? ?
I aways find it fascinating (read: slightly interesting) to see how much these links vary from week to week. Sometimes they’ll be super heavy on the life and recipe links, whereas other times (like this time) they’ll be more fitness and blogging inspired. I always try to vary them up so there’ll be something for everyone, and I hope you enjoy!

Roasted vegetable Mac & Cheese! Be still my cheese, veggie and pasta loving heart. This is a match made in heaven.
They actually say pregnant women should sleep on their left side. It’s always been my last option though. Guess they were right and I’ll be flipping over.
