We made it! And I honestly can’t believe that this is winter…
Yesterday was mostly devoted to travel and getting settled in (read: hitting up Whole Foods and Chipotle), but today? We’re going to Disneyland! 😀 That being said, it’s time to get ready, get some breakfast in my belly, and head out, so I’m leaving you guys with some great links to read… and don’t forget to add your own link to the party at the end!
Happy Sunday! 😀
