Sunday, you snuck up on me out of the blue. Really. And what about that mysterious overrated* Valentine’s Day that was supposed to be this week? Passed by in the blink of an eye. In case you don’t care to find out about my exciting way of spending yesterday – what? You really don’t?? – no need to worry: I’ll leave the stage for the many great posts I came across this past week to shine. Let me know your favourites, too.
Happy Sunday!
* no single lady hatred here. It’s not like you couldn’t make it a great day for yourself after all.

Thanks for the shout out, girl. I really do love that article, as well as these Sunday link posts. I think seeing what kids around the world eat is so interesting. They have a lunch version of that too and it’s just soooo different than what anyone would eat here in the states!
Thank YOU for sharing it. I’ve been thinking about translating it and sending it to friends and family. Itreally helps understand the issue a little better.
There’s a lunch version? I haven’t seen that one.
Thanks for the shoutout! Single ladies unite 🙂 Actually…single, non-single, married, etc. ladies all should unite! Female power haha ok I’m done writing this absolutely random comment. Have a great week!

Okay I literally clicked open EVERY LINK in this post! AH ha ha! My computer is having a heart attack right now!
I need to dry clean my pillows and comforter, ASAP! AND MY BATH MAT!!
My laptop’s having a constant heart attack from all the tabs I have opened up. … and now that you’ve been/clicked all over the place you’ll want to consider disinfecting your keyboard very well. That article’s clearly not for the faint-hearted – germs everywhere!
Amazingly enough, I actually already do that!! Same goes with my phone!
Thank goodness for cleaning wipes, right?! I do that with my phone every night.
Ohh You saved me! I’m at work waiting and waiting and waiting for my project to come in. I’m am not good with time on my hands and a bowl full of chocolate 5 feet away and now I have some good reads to keep me busy!
I’m glad I could be of service here – especially because I totally know that office + chocolate situation!
