Happy Sunday, friendly faces!
How’s your weekend been so far? Our weather turned kind of nasty, so I spent the majority of mine either in the kitchen or on the couch – working on recipes and watching old movies. I never thought I’d the kind of person who’d be into classic black and white flicks, but there’s just something so sweet and innocent about them. My mom always watched them back when I still lived at home, and I guess she must have gotten me hooked because I probably watch more of those than I do the more recent films.
But I do more reading than anything else, and here’s a bunch of posts and articles that I loved from this week. Hope you enjoy! And I’ll see your lovely faces soon.

Yay cant wait to check these out!
Yesterday-went to church, food prepped for the week, watched Big Eyes
Today-ate baked oatmeal, went to work, planning my week’s workouts
Thank you for the shout out my friend! Hope you had a wonderful weekend 🙂
Good reads, Amanda. I’ve already checked out the blog headlines and 6 ways we’re wasting our lives posts. I love old movies also. I have Little Women on TCM on in the background now. Saturday 3 things: obsessed over all things Prince on television, went grocery shopping, and worked on my post, linkup, and newsletter. Today 3: chill, obsess over more Prince television, and doing a few tasks around the house. Have a great Sunday, Amanda, and thank you for hosting Link Love!
TCM is my favourite station to watch! I can literally turn it on and watch all the movies back to back. Hope your week is off to a great start, Regina!
Thanks for sharing my link! Love the way you share 3 things from yesterday and 3 for today. Yesterday: wrote a blog post, walked 3.5 miles, cooked a nice meal. Today: taking my dog for a long walk, catching up on some work, planning my week.
Thank you for sharing my link! Love reading through everything you share on Sundays. Three things yesterday: easy hike, Mexican food, and Netflix binge; today: church, running with my husband, reading time. Have a wonderful Sunday!
I always love reading this link love post on Sunday mornings with my coffee, when I’m up eating breakfast by 7am like the grandma 24-year-old I am, waiting for “early” yoga class at 9:30 🙂
I’m lucky if I can hold out ’till 7 to have breakfast! It’s usually at 6 or 6:30 for me 😆 And 9:30 most definitely doesn’t feel early 😛
That article about lies runners believe is definitely true. I found it hilarious!
3 things yesterday – cooking for Passover, went to my parent’s house, not much else! Today – blogging, cleaning, groceries. I like when my weekends follow that pattern 🙂
