Happy Sunday, friendly faces!
So I was writing the title for this post and literally just realized that we’re coming up on the end of February. Like… what? Wasn’t it just Christmas? I mean… just last week I said to someone “it’s never this warm in the middle of January,” which… no, it’s not… because it was actually the middle of February.
Mind = blown.
But hey! So it’s time for another Link Love, and while I actually really enjoy doing these every other week, the problem is that I end up hoarding a few too many links over 14 days and having to cut some because I don’t want you guys sitting with 30+ tabs open in your browser. On the bright side, I get to revisit some good reads that I loved and apparently forgot about… so it’s wins all around.
Hope you guys are having an awesome weekend, and I’ll talk to you soon! <3

Sometimes all I want to do is sit around and watch TV in my free time. It’s my way to unwind. 🙂
Also this is why I don’t mess with Stevia. Food is supposed to have calories.

Hey Amanda
Thanks so much for sharing my post and the link love! …heads over to check out the hot chocolate breakfast smoothie… ;o)
I was just thinking about how fast this month has flown by. I lived away for most of January and February so I feel like I turned around and the months flew by.
Have a great weekend Amanda!
