Happy Sunday, friendly faces!
I have breakfast for you!
Or lunch/dinner if you roll that way 😉 But if you didn’t get a chance to check out the apple cinnamon baked French toast recipe that I posted yesterday, I’d love it if you went to sneak a peak.

I love the links about life. They are all inspiring and motivating. It removes negative feelings inside of me.
Just made those healthy flourless pumpkin muffins… .SO GOOD!!!! \
Yesterday: Took my grandparents to the airport, watched a movie with my sick sister (rough job), and listened to some new songs my (other) sister shared with us.
Today: Made cookies with glaze BY MYSELF (not something I usually do 😉 ), watched a movie ( 😀 ), and looked up a bunch of actors (and consequentially, their families as well) online for a discussion we were having about who we thought would make a good Gaston in the live-action Beauty and the Beast. Because even though it’s way past the selection process, we like to come up with our own choice of cast from the small selection of movies that we’ve seen. 😀
I’m so ridiculously excited for that Beauty and the Beast movie! It’s my favourite Disney flick, so I’m really hoping they don’t muck it up!
Same here! I’m feel like it could be really good or really bad… With stuff like this I just want to let someone I trust see it first and tell me whether I should see it or not. Then I feel bad for making them my guinea pig. 😀
Yesterday: worked, went grocery shopping, sent off a few job applications.
Today: RAN A HALF MARATHON, walked the dog, and now I’m sitting on my couch which is where I plan to be for the foreseeable future.
Congrats again on your marathon!!! You rocker of sockers, you.
Was a great day today and these links made it even better! 😉 Loved the quotes from marcandangel especially… I’ve always enjoyed quotes and these were so inspiring! Thanks!
It’s like you read my mind with these links! I’m turning 31 in a few week so I can totally relate to the Mind Body Green article. Learning to let go of time schedules for your life is so important, although it’s something I still struggle with. And I desperately need to make a media kit so thank you for that one too!
Oh, and of course thank you for including my muffins! 🙂
The time schedule thing is something that still comes up for me as well, so you’re definitely not alone on that one! And same goes for the media kit — I really need to update mine as well 😆
Thank you so much for including my post! Means a lot.
Three things from yesterday: long run, nap (x2), movie
Today: Yoga, grocery store, football!
Yesterday: went to the dentist for teeth cleaning, hit up the garlic festival with mom and had the in-laws over for dinner.
Today: blog reading, breakfast with mom and a little afternoon cat napping.
I hope your cat napping involved a very special cat 🙂
Yesterday… Not much! I went for a run, did some yoga, and played around a bit with new recipes in the kitchen!
Today I ran a Komen 5k for breast cancer, went out to brunch, and I’m about to bake a birthday cake from my grandpa. Gotta love weekends!
Great shares by the way!
Aww that’s super sweet of you! Happy birthday to your grandpa!

Today: laundry, watching football, enjoying a much cooler day outdoors.
Today: Pick up my sister from the airport, lounge, go to a family dinner, Happy Sunday!
Those work exercises are great… I have a standing desk because I couldn’t take sitting all day anymore!
Yesterday: SoulCycle, went to the Brit + Co Re:Make festival, dinner with friends
Today: About to go run, headed out to the city to take some photos, getting caught up on life… blah
Standing desks are amazing. I keep my laptop on a counter so I can avoid sitting all day as well. Now if I had a treadmill desk, I’d be in heaven.
OMG! That breakfast recipe idea! I always LOVE your Sunday Link Love posts, but especially today since you included one of mine! Thanks so much for the support, Amanda!
And thank -you- so much for your inspiring posts, Erin!
Yesterday I went to a Greek festival nearby and watched a soccer game.
Today I will go to church, study, and hopefully work out!
Thanks for another list of great links!
I immediately clicked on that pumpkin spice body scrub! I MUST MAKE IT. I am all about pumpkin right now of course…but having something pumpkin-y to use in the shower takes it to a whole new level of obsession! LOL
Right?! But I’m not gonna lie — I’d be tempted to eat it 😆
three things yesterday – long run, walk at the beach, lunch with friends …three things today – easy 30 minute run, lots of cooking/baking, going to my parents for the holiday tonight
Thanks for the awesome link-up! Yesterday I went Paddle Boarding, Took a walk on the beach and went to a wedding. Today I am going to drive back to connecticut, do some homework and yoga!
Yesterday I worked out, grocery shopping and went out for dinner. Today I’m swimming and my best friend is coming to town to visit.
Pumpkin body scrub!? I think I’d end up eating (licking) myself :O Hahahahahahahahaha!
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been tempted to lick a cream because they smelled so.dang.good. That scrub is one I’d probably feel safer actually trying, though 😆
Yesterday – 20 mile run, not much after that! Today – grocery shopping, recipe creation, blogging 🙂 Have a great Sunday!
Time to stalk the archives *insert nose tap*
And bake something French with bread 😉
You know… I’ve never actually understood what that whole nose tapping business was about 😆
