Happy Sunday, friendly faces! Look who I found!
Sam came up to visit me for the weekend, except we were horrible bloggers and didn’t take any pictures. Oops. On today’s to-do list for sure. And because I didn’t want to be rude and spend too much time blogging while she was here, I don’t have a super fancy intro for you guys this week. BUT! I do have plenty of good links to share, so I hope you enjoy and I’ll see your faces tomorrow!

Love the recaps as always my friend! I am excited to check out the GIF ones…I love stuff like that, and as much as I hate to admit it, I am gonna go check the numbers game one….bows head…Have a great week my friend 🙂
Those slow motion GIFs… I cannot stop watching. Our world is ridiculously beautiful.
hahaha we managed to get one before I left! 😉
We did. Otherwise I would have made you come back to take one 😛
That sweet potato chickpea bowl has me droooooling!! Thanks for the link love dear!
I’m usually the worst at taking photos when I’m with other bloggers. I take it to mean we all need that moment away from blogging and social media and can just enjoy each others company.
Yesterday: hanging with family, dinner at an Indian restaurant and a driving tour of downtown Cleveland.
Today: breakfast with family, sunning myself and catching up on blog work.
Yesterday: yoga, paper grading (TA), scary movie night with friends
Today: homework, finals studying, FOOD making! 🙂
Oh. My. Gosh. The water droplet GIF from the delicious link thingy is the best thing ever!!!!!! \(O.O)/
If you’ll excuse me I’m going to stop learning Latin now and watch the water droplet do it’s water droplet thing.
also the fact that my smiley is wonky kills me…..
😆 I still think it’s adorable.
Hi Amanda! Hope you’re having a great weekend! 🙂 So many good links to read!
Look forward to reading these links! I think forgetting to take pictures can be a sign of a good time. I was never a big picture taker so it’s been a big habit change to start to do it regularly. But sometimes I get lost in the moment. Enjoy your Sunday!
Not taking pictures is the best proof you were too busy having a great time. It’s awesome you and Sam got to see each other.
Going with what I said …
one (!) thing I did yesterday: have an all-around amazing day.
Well that just sounds fabulous. Glad to hear it, girly!!
i think you are even better bloggers for not taking pics. just enjoying TIME together! thanks for sharing. xxoo
Love the links as usual especially the workout ones this week (2 longish runs in a row yesterday and Friday because it is just too gorgeous outside!) And as for going out to live life…that’s what I’ve been doing all weekend, today a bit of studying may need to be squeezed in after lots of running, eating, and Derby-watching!
I completely forgot that it was derby weekend! I missed all the good hats 🙁
I’m terrible at taking pictures when I’m with friends too. The time passes so fast. Have fun ladies!
Awww…. you girls look so beautiful! I hope y’all have a fabulous time together! Thanks so much for including my baked oatmeal recipe!
Great links!!!
The oatmeal and the mocha smoothie will be made this week for sure!!
Have a great Sunday and visit!!
Thanks for sharing!
So many good ones here! Sounds like an awesome weekend! I think forgetting to take pictures is a clear sign of a great time 🙂
Hope you both had a lovely weekend!
Yesterday: CrossFit, out for lunch, drinks at the pub
Today: essay writing (should probably get back to that shouldn’t I?), coffee with old friends and a cinema trip hopefully!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday 🙂
You guys need to come here and bring me melatonin…..I HATE JETLAG.
hi hi.
Hmmm, but I’ve read some bad things about Melatonin, especially for guys! My wife says it can do some pretty bad things and to be careful. But she doesn’t like my taking my ZZZ sleep either!
Jet lag is better than a 16 hour time difference 😛
