Lovely Links

I’m not even going to go into the whole sickness thing again. You should know my home will be Lysol-ed and bleached and aired out to dry when we have a few consecutive days to do so. The end.

 

So what are you guys doing this weekend?! I’m so very excited about ours – we are going to the wedding of one of my dearest friends in the entire world. This woman is incredible, a loyal and encouraging and true friend. To know that she’s met a man she loves deeply makes my heart the happiest kind of happy, and I’m honored to be able to stand up next to her while she vows to love her husband forever. It’s going to be awesome!

 

Also, I’m almost the mom of a 4-year old. I can’t even handle that without sobbing right now, so I’m not focusing on it yet. But my baby is growing up and I’m so excited and sad at the same time!

 

I hope you guys have the best weekend ever, and enjoy these links below!
