Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀
How’s your weekend been? It’s been a good one over in these parts! Gorgeous weather, enough work to make me productive, enough play to make me feel relaxed, and even a little bit of apple picking thrown into the mix!
Whiiiiich would have been a lot more enjoyable if I could actually eat the fruits of my labour, but hey! It’s one of those things that I’ve been meaning to knock off my fall bucket list for a while now, so it was nice to finally go.
Anywho, I hope you guys are enjoying an awesome weekend as well; and I hope you find some time to check out some of these links — lots of good ones this week! I’ll see you tomorrow with a new pumpkin recipe! 😀

I need to go apple picking… so I can make every apple recipe ever!
Saturday: 20-mile run, ate at my favorite restaurant in my college town, went to WVU football game,
Sunday: breakfast with Angela, errands (boo), yoga
Hey, I went apple picking on Saturday too! Other than that, I also did a tour of a local organic farm and watched The Family. On Sunday I made a cheesecake, went to JZ’s dad’s birthday party (and brought said cheesecake), and had tea with a friend.
Thanks for sharing my post! <3
Wow, those apples look AMAZING- like……I can’t stipulate it on here.
How AMAZING was lucie’s series- seriously. I was harrowingly enjoying it all.
I wish I had the patience to read more informative blog posts about blogging. I want to know it. But I just can’t get into it. Goodness knows I need it though! 🙂
Um so there’s a good chance I read the post about finding your words when writers block is holding you back. For no particular reason of course.
Oh the pictures….there were so many breathtaking shots.
I loved Lindsey’s guest post on rest days and also Arman’s post on body image. Both were winners for sure.
Yesterday: bought some fall decor, roasted some of the tomatoes from our garden for dinner (seriously yum!), and embossed some of my business cards
Today: working on my room re-do, finishing editing a video, and burning my first pumpkin candle of the year!
BTW I had to resubscribe to the email list… I’m not sure why, but I suddenly stopped receiving emails when new posts went up (yes, I checked spam). I thought you had just gone MIA for awhile, then I got a little worried you hadn’t posted at all, so I checked Spoons and there were over 1.5 weeks of posts I hadn’t known about. Just thought you should be aware!

Oh noes! Have you been getting them since you re-subscribed??
Yup! No problems ever since I resubbed. It’s just weird that it would have stopped in the first place!
Thanks, Amanda. Another great week!
darn you, i knew you were going to post Pinch of YUM.. i get all excited then tired reading it. LOL!
love you and thanks for linking me

Awesome link love, as always. I love all the ones you choose 🙂 :). Happy Sunday!
How was the Maze Runner?! I really, really wanted to read the book before I saw the movie but I highly doubt I’ll be able to get through it while it’s still in theatres. Curse being a slow reader! ><
Today: Eagles game, Target trip, and baking something delicious. <3
I thought it was pretty good! Basically in the same realm as The Hunger Games and Divergent… but the books were better 😛
Thanks for the share Amanda! 😀
3 things I did yesterday: eat, sleep and blog; 3 things I’m gonna do today: eat, bake and blog…Clearly a low key weekend over here lol
Confession: those are usually my favourite kind 🙂
Thank you for the share, love! “Fruits of my labor”–> how punny :)! Those apples look so yum, perfectly red! Three things I did today include read, meet a friend for coffee & meet another friend for ice cream!
My favorite ones are the blogging links, my blog needs some update. Thanks for sharing!
Sometimes I’m forced to take cold showers here in the dorm if the water doesn’t warm up quick enough, so I guess I should embrace that!
Three things I did yesterday: worked out by the river, played frisbee, and ate a cinnamon apple muffin (that probably wasn’t as tasty or healthy as Pinch of Yum’s)
Today: Mass, studying, and hopefully exercising outdoors while the sun is still granting us warmth!
