Hello, hello from… Edmonton 😆
I was still supposed to be up in the mountains today, but I had to cut my trip short for work related reasons (boo, hiss!!), so here I am… home sweet home. It’s not all bad, though! At least I got to spend some quality time hanging out with Sam and Jo…
But I’ll talk more about that either tomorrow or Tuesday, because Sundays are all about the Link Love 😀

You do the BEST link round-ups! I bookmarked like half of these to read soon… 🙂 Thanks for sharing! I’ve got to join your linkup next week!
Boo that you had to cut your trip short, but glad you had fun! I took a break from life this weekend and spent all weekend at home sleeping, baking and eating. I’m still supposed to be laying low, but I can’t stop myself from catching up on blog reading in my down time haha
Random tidbit of the day ->I’m currently re-reading a series set in Rocky Mountain House and it’s weird every time they mention Calgary or Thanksgiving in October because I hardly ever find books set in Canada lol
Hehe we’re so cute! I love that photo of us.
LETS DO THIS AGAIN SOMETIME SOON
I’m glad you shared that food photography board link because that was definitely the coolest post I read all week. I had no idea that’s how you pros do it 😉
thanks so much for sharing! I definitely found some new blogs I want to add to my feed after reading this! 🙂
Amanda! I didn’t realize you did this. What a great idea! You’ll have me reading all week. Thanks!
Yay, thanks for sharing my post! Hope you had an awesome weekend, even though it was cut short!
Oh you three.
I hope you guys had a fun night out!
Yesterday I: did a yoga video, had a The OC marathon with JZ, and watched the Leafs game
Today I: continued The OC marathon, went for a walk, and worked on writing a post
LOL I WATCHED THE OC TOO.
The scene was when Summer took her top off and they played ‘hello sunshine’.
Sorry to hear your weekend was cut short! Thank you for all the great links. Happy Sunday!
wait? i wasn’t invited? hehe. Just kidding. Hug those girls for me next time!
So annoying about your plans for being in the mountains! But at least you got out there!! I miss the mountains so much, Manitoba is too flat for me.
Thank you so much for the shout-out! Happy Sunday, hope it’s a good one 🙂
Thanks for the links, Amanda!
Yesterday: filmed, painted 8 6-year-olds faces at a birthday party, and ate Persian food for the first time (IT IS SO GOOD)
Today: more filming, trying to get a video up, and getting a real pumpkin!

Church, working out, catching up on with home stuff (gone all day yesterday visiting my Daughter at Collage). Enjoy your Sunday its beautiful here today 65 degrees and blue/sunny skies. <3
Aw that stinks that you had to cut your trip short. Hope it was fun, we need to catch up about it ! 3 things yesterday – run, Red Mango and dinner at Cheesecake in good company :)…3 things today – shorter run, cooking a baked ziti ( I think) and errands.
Heading over to check out the post on making the food photography board… something I still need to do. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, even if the trip had to end too soon!
It’s funny Seeing you guys in jackets. It’s 95 here this weekend. There’s always a heat wave right before Halloween and then boom it’s 30 degrees colder. Still not jacket weather, but sweaters it is and I cannot wait. I’m so over the heat!
Sorry to hear that your trip was cut short! Hope you enjoyed the mountains while you were there:)
