It’s totally acceptable to be in bed by 9pm on a Saturday night, right?
Because it’s currently 8:30pm on a Saturday night as I’m writing this, and I’m very much ready to go to sleep. In fact, I was ready to go to sleep about a half hour ago, but then I remembered I had to finish writing the intro for this post and here I am 😜
You know all that stuff I said yesterday about being an early bird and a night owl? Or were you too distracted by this gorgeous sight right here?
It’s okay. I forgive ya. I have trouble concentrating when double chocolate zucchini muffins are around too 😉
But what I was trying to say is that I forgot to mention that the whole early bird & night owl thing catches up to you every now and again… especially when you’ve been go-go-go for the last handful of days.
So, if you don’t mind, I’m going to cut this short and go-go-go to bed. But I’ve left ya with some awesome links that I hope you enjoy and I’ll see you soon! Hopefully when I’m more awake…

3 things you did yesterday; 3 things you’re doing today. Go!
Yesterday: went to a wedding, came home, worked out with mommy.
Today: going to worship with the body, being with church friends, and catching up on link love today.
Just wanted to throw out an FYI for all other mobile iOS users…I tried to open the “Successfully Captured Shots” tab in Safari and got an error that took over Safari saying that malware/spyware was trying to hack into my device and to call a number that was supposedly Apple Support. I bought it hook, line and sinker, especially being new to iOS, and I’m sure that everyone else knows not to do that, but it wasn’t Apple Support and the guy on the phone walked me through clearing Safari’s data history (in Settings) and was going to charge me $30 for something I could have done for free. Thankfully, my dad went to bat for me on the phone and they refunded the charge, but I wanted to put it out there so that hopefully no one else does that or opens that tab on desktop (we haven’t had trouble with doing it on desktop so far). It was an awesome post, so I hope everyone does find a way to view it, but even if you do get the error (as I’m sure you all know already), you can take care of it yourself for free.
And just so you know, Amanda, I’m not blaming you in the least or irritated because you posted that link. I know that it wasn’t anything you did that targeted that tab. I lovelovelove these weekly Link Love posts; they are one of my favorite parts of Sundays and I look forward to them every week!! Thank you so much for all the work you put into making these and every post. As I’ve said before, you are one of my favoritest bloggers! 💗
Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry Hannah!! I always browse these posts on my desktop so I had no idea that happened on mobile, but I went ahead and removed the link just in case. Again, I’m really sorry. But I’m glad you were able to fix everything in the end.
Love your Sunday posts. Hope you got some good rest!
Yesterday I worked at the hospital, took an epic shower, and then went to a friend’s for a potluck dinner where we all made Moroccan foods
Today I went to yoga, had a brunch date, and am catching up on some writing and recipe-ing.
Oh my those muffins look fabulous! I am a fan of going to bed early. Today I went to church and am working on my blog post.
Going to bed at 9pm sounds pretty great to me. Hope you’re feeling more rested today!
Yesterday: Hosted my family for my birthday party, fishtail-braided my cousins’ hair (or tried to…), walked my dog
Today: Going on a photo walk to get familiar with my new camera (!), making crab cakes for dinner, playing games with my parents
Game nights are seriously some of the best nights! I’m dying for a little bit of Settlers of Catan action…
I always love your Link Love, but this week is especially packed with good posts! Every once in awhile, our bodies need to reset…especially with DST last week adding to the chaos. Glad you were able to rest early. Yesterday 3: Had a great lunch with the husband; published a new post; watched Blackfish and got angry all over again. Today 3: draft a response to a motion to dismiss; catch up on the blogs I’ve missed this week; and veg out.
I almost forgot about DST! That might explain a bit. Hope your week is off to a great start, Regina!
I was eyeballing Lindsay’s banana chip cookies too, right along with your zucchini muffins.
Yesterday: I hung two pictures, went to a baby shower (for myself) in the afternoon and hung by the fire with the Hubby in the evening.
Today: I caught up on blog reading, straightened the kitchen and I’m getting ready to go into the office soon.
“I hung two pictures” <-- 😆 I seriously love that you put that in there. And you better be relaxing after all the work you did this weekend.
Hey I had to bust out the hammer, nails, and the measuring tape. #skillz
I had a glass of wine last night and it seriously put me out early. I think I just found the solution to my sleeping problems!
That can definitely be a great way to take the edge off and relax a little bit. Hope you’re doing well, Megan!
The chocolate-y goodness of those muffins yesterday! I have to try them.
Yesterday: yard work, dinner date, and wedding shower for a friend. Today: church, lots of studying, and run
Thanks for sharing all the goodness!
I wish I had gone to bed at 9 last night! I always have good intentions to turn in early, then immediately think of fifteen million things to do. XD
Yesterday I baked, cleaned, and did the grocery shipping. Today: church, then hopefully an afternoon of tea and books, and a popcorn and movie night. 🙂 Have a great day today!
those muffins from yesterday look real good! 3 things yesterday -long run, shopping with my son for camp (crazy exhausting, you have no idea lol) and out to eat 3 things today – catch up on work stuff, out for lunchand some errands.
