Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀
How are we doing on this last day of May? Good, I hope. Me? I’m excited… for pretty much no other reason than because it is the last day of May and the first day of June happens to fall on a Monday. Don’t you love it when that happens? It gives the new month even more of that fresh start/clean slate feeling, and amps the motivation factor up a couple of notches. I know, I know. But it’s the little things.
And speaking of little things, can someone please come and take this bag of chocolate chip Teddy Grahams away from me before I eat them all? These have been a favourite of mine ever since I was a little kid, and I must be making up for lost time after not having them for a while because… yeah. Send help. Please.
And after you do that, check out some of the awesome links in this week’s Link Love. And add any of your own to the linkup. And then have yourself an awesome day 😀

ughhh I don’t even want to read the article about not getting enough sleep. Shift worker life.
Yesterday: went to work, went to bed super early, and ummm….bought socks? Exciting Saturday.
Today: ran a half marathon!!!!! who cares what else I did? (Basically, I ate all day and binge-watched Bates Motel).
Thanks for sharing as always! Now off to read…
As always thanks for sharing these articles. I love reading what others are enjoying!
I swore I was going to cut back on opening a bazillion tabs at one time when I’m on the computer. Pretend you don’t know anything, ok? 😉
Mum’s the word 😉
Thanks for including my biscuits sunshine!! Shucks.
Yesterday: I made blueberry buttermilk pancakes for breakfast, went day drinking with the family and took a cat nap with Oscar, probably due to the day drinking.
Today: I’m getting a new iPhone (squeal), I hit up the grocery store and I’m going to be doing all the blog reading.
Thanks for the link love lady. Some other good reads – off to read while drinking coffee and wishing I had those teddy grahams…I will happily take them away from you for myself 😛
Ah To kill A Mockingbird. I grew to appreciate it as I got older. Loved the name boo Radley. three things yesterday- long run, beach, out for dinner and mini golf ( think that’s four lol). I don’t know my three things yet for today! Playing it all by ear 🙂
I have all those blogging links open! I was going to be so productive for the blog yesterday then that just didn’t happen. I think my body just needed a day to do nothing at all!!
Yours and mine both. I had tonnes of blog work to do yesterday and managed to accomplish nothing. Which meant having to do twice as much today 😡
HA…I was excited for the Monday start for June too. Nothig like a new month to give you a little boost in all areas. Thanks for all the good reads and enjoy your Sunday!
I had Teddy Grahams a while back for the first time in a long time, and they were so. good. I’m glad I was eating a snack pack of them, because otherwise I would have turned into a Teddy Graham myself.
Yesterday: went to a day retreat with my dad, church, and an evening walk
Today: go out to brunch with dad, go out to Smashburger with Daliza, and hang out with my friends! (birthday 🙂 )
Thanks so much for sharing, Amanda ♥
Yesterday – Errands, Shred415, Blog Work
Today – Clean, Laundry, Meal Prep
Oh my gosh—teddy grahams were the best thing ever! I’d totally forgotten about them.
Me too! And now I’m going to have to try to forget about them again 😆
The 25 must see diagrams are must bookmark! wow… so many great tips!
I always feel like new months should start on Mondays. It’s like a fresh start. BTW – where has the year gone?
Excited to look at 50 blogging tools, I always need help 🙂 And I feel the same way about June starting on a Monday and I’ve been thinking that every time I see it on my calendar! I guess I appreciate the squeaky clean start to the month 🙂
haha me too! it’s like it was meant to be! yay! and thanks amanda for always making us smile with your resourceful links. xxoo
Hope it’s an awesome one for you, Michele!
9 things before 9am? Wonderful for a morning girl like me! And I so admire TKAM and am a huge Harper Lee fan although the recent controversy is not so lovely…
You watched TKAM by CHOICE? It was televised punishment when we did it in high school!
Alison’s post = the best. Can I come for dinner avec the parents tonight? Could go a home cooked meal.. 😉
What Arman said about TKAM! Actually, that probably just means that Amanda is classy and deeply appreciative of literature. Unlike me. 😀
Thanks, Arman 🙂
I’m going to have to go with “no” on account of what you said about TKAM — it’s one of my favourite books!
