Weekend Links

Well hello there, internets. You sure showed off this week with your awesomeness. You made it too difficult to narrow it down to my usual five links, so here ya go. The whole kit and kaboodle. (Haven’t you always wanted a kaboodle?)

My week was NUTSO with executing a fab Giveaway Week over at KOTH (where I am the ad manager). There are some really amazing prizes up for grabs – you should go enter!

Hubs has been flying a ton lately with the beautiful weather. It has been nice to actually make all ends meet lately, even if it’s still tight. We are growing in leaps and bounds and changing how we deal with finances as a couple, and I have contemplated sharing more about it here on the blog, if there’s interest in that sorta thing.

Here are some great links for your weekend reading pleasure:

That face. Those lips.

Co-sleeping. Because all the cool kids are doin’ it.

Happy Weekend, friends! How are you savouring the last bits of summer? Anything left on your summer bucket list?

In summer, the song sings itself.
