Happy Sunday, friendly faces! And an extra happy Sunday for me 😀
Jasper was forecasted to get some snow this weekend, so we made a last minute decision to head up into the mountains to do some riding, and it’s been pretty freaking fabulous. Spring is my favourite time to go boarding, and this trip definitely made up for the last one which was… not.so.great. That and I had a chance to test out some new gear that I picked up during the week, which is always fun.
But I’ll chat more about my trip tomorrow (As We Speak style), because it’s time for some Link Love! Hope you guys enjoy these great reads that I came across this past week, and don’t forget to add your own to the linkup!
