Have a great week, Amanda!
Thanks for sharing my link! I’ve been wanting to make that roasted banana bread since I saw the recipe earlier this week. Three things yesterday: 9 mile hike in the Cascades, watched Kimmy Schmidt, and fell asleep way too early on the sofa; three things today: church, went to see the tulips in Skagit, and shopping at the outlet mall for new running clothes.
I’m always soooo torn as to where to spend my focus on social media. I’m pretty active on Pinterest, but Facebook vs. Instagram?? I can never decide. It seems like no matter how much time I put into Facebook the return isn’t great for me. Interested to read that post about IG!
Thanks for sharing!!
My three things for both days: complaining that I’m dying of strep, drinking tea, and marathoning shows
Thank you so much for linking to me! 🙂

LOL!! Your intro cracked me up! Loved the 19 facts.

Aw mindfulness. I am grateful today for this wonderful post and all the thoughtful, helpful information. Have a blessed Sunday. xo Lauren
Very clever intro!
3 things yesterday- yoga, celebrated my mom’s birthday, Netflix
3 today- laundry, BODYPUMP, meal prep
Haha that’s funny! Amazing how many different versions I have heard of that song!
Lol! Great job on the intro. Perfect for me because I always forget the lyrics. Thanks for another great list!
Yesterday- study, grocery shop, Netflix
Today- church, run, finish a group project
We also love making up lyrics for hello – endless possibilities! 3 things today are all the same thing – getting ready to run tomorrow! Big family day today, hopefully I can keep my nerves in check.
3 things yesterday – long run, manicure/pedicure, my son’s little league game 3 things today – short run, catching up on some work this morning, out for the day because it’s beautiful outside!
Today: spin class, hitting up the farmers market, dinner with the boyfriend
Yesterday: I had a 10k+ race, went out for an excellent brunch, and napped!
I had no idea about eggs in the hacks post. That is pretty interesting, thanks for sharing.
I would agree with the post about Instagram as well. It’s my personal favorite platform so I like to use it regularly. It’s always weird because with running, I don’t want to post a bunch of photos of me “just running”. I feel like I look the same LOL…same thing…different bib number.
