Hi, hello, and welcome your friendly faces to another day of epic link sharing ?
A day where I share my favourite links of the week with you; you share your favourite links with me [and everyone else]; and we all end up with way too many tabs open in our browsers, amiright?
And apologies in advance if I seem a little hyper today, but there are two very good reasons for that. First, I’m currently writing this intro mid-morning and post coffee, as opposed to late at night when I’m usually struggling to keep my eyes open. Second, I may or may not be slightly cracked out on these…
… which don’t actually contain any crack [of the illegal sort], but are so addicting that it kind of makes you wonder ? I was going to share the recipe with you guys yesterday, buuuuuuuut the blog world was pretty slow on account of it being American Thanksgiving and all, so I decided to take a little extra time off myself as well. That being said, those chocolate crack nuggets (unofficial name) will be up for you tomorrow, because today is all about the Link Love…

One Thing Unhappy People Refuse To Do For Themselves via Marc and Angel.
SO much love for this post. “You have to admit, to a certain extent, you have spent too much of your life trying to shrink yourself. Trying to become smaller. Quieter. Less sensitive. Less opinionated. Less needy. Less YOU. “

Thank you thank you so so very much for sharing my Ginger Oatmeal cookies – I was off the grid a bit yesterday and just saw this – thank you Amanda! Hope your week is off to a wonderful start! xx
You’re most welcome, Shashi! I hope your week is off to a wonderful start as well 😀
Love this links! Def gonna go checkout that one about veganism! Super interesting. Thanks for sharing!!
I LOVED Georgie’s food prop post this week. I was going to share as well… then never got around to finishing my Friday post haha. Hope you had a lovely weekend! xo
Thank you!! Next up I am off to look at all these abandoned places. I follow all kinds of abandoned places Instagram accounts like a weirdo haha.
Are you sure those aren’t crack brownies? LOL! we can meet in colorado and eat them if so.
😉
Lololo! ? Best.comment.ever. I wouldn’t mind a road trip to Colorado ?
what did you think of Mockingjay? I saw it on Thursday…I liked it, although I thought it was a little long.
yesterday: did some errand running/shopping with Mama Sprinkles, went to the Humane Society (I WANT THEM ALL. Sometime in the next year or so, I wanna adopt puppy #2), and had a wine night with the bff.
Today: job interview!!!, going to the gym, and possible going to chef-friend’s coworker’s party if he’s feeling up to it (he’s been working crazy long hours this weekend).
I thought it was -okay.- I liked it better than Part 1, but that’s not saying much since I thought Part 1 was horrible 😆 Definitely a little slow, though. Aaaaaand I can’t even walk in to the humane society without wanting to take them all. If only I had the room. And time…
I loved all the links that you shared today – especially the blogging posts! I am still learning about the blogging world and those are always very helpful to me. I read the one about the Periscope and I might give that a try soon 🙂 I love video taping and broadcasting so that might be something good for me! Hope you had an relaxing – and FUN – Thanksgiving! <3
– XO –
Have you thought about maybe giving YouTube a try? That’s definitely an awesome platform for reaching more people!
I had no idea we had an abandoned aquarium in Cleveland. I need to find this place and check it out. It looks super cool.
Yesterday: I went to prenatal yoga (so different than typical yoga), I got all caught up on Blog Lovin and I made and photographed a beautiful snack platter for a future post.
Today: I’m going to get some of this week’s posts written (cross those fingers), buy and decorate our Christmas tree along with hanging the outdoor lights, and do some work for my job. Ambitious much? 🙂
I thought of you when I saw that! Let me know if you find out any more about it. And you’ll get all your stuff done — beast mode!
I can’t wait for the recipe! We’ve started on our Christmas decorations, too. Today I’m going to church, visiting my grandmother, running, and then driving back to Memphis!
Memphis! That’s actually where a package that I ordered forever ago (and FedEx misplaced) is apparently hanging out 😆
Thanks for sharing my favorite weekly link up! yesterday: went to the gym, went to philly and went out to dinner with my fav. Today: driving back to school, homework, blog work.
I barely remember yesterday! This holiday weekend has been a blur! 3 things yesterday (I think lol) – long run, lounging with my son and out for lunch together. 3 things today – Pure Barre, trying to catch up on some work and shopping.
Did you love Mockinjay? I thought the acting was so good!
I helped my parents decorate this weekend as well, and I must say- it never gets old!
I thought it was pretty good. A little slow at times, but I liked it better than the first part for sure.
Yum those crack brownies look good!
That actually happened to me with my blog. Updated a plugin and bam! Blog gone! Thankfully I use vault press and they had me up and running in less than 20 minutes. It was a scary, almost heart attack moment!
That’s one of my biggest fears whenever I’m messing around with plugins or themes. Are you on Bluehost? I know they regularly backup everything automatically.
No, Vaultpress does it automatically too but at some point I’ll probably switch to Bluehost.
I want those chocolate crack bars, whatever they are! I’m in need of comfort food after a terrible cold all weekend. Thanks for linking to my fudge cups – you’re the best!!
Aww I heard about your cold! I hope that you’re feeling better <3
