Good good links #13

Hi there and happy Sunday!

Maybe it’s a little weird to say it now that I’ve been doing these kind of posts for weeks already. But I just have to: writing the titles of whichever post I’m sharing just the way the author did irks me at times. Why? Well, I already told you I’m a language and grammar nerd and starting every word with a capital letter looks so … wrong. I’m curious how you feel about this so let me know in the comments!

In my pocket – Yes! [warming cup of tea and oats after running errands in the cold] – Part of me – P is for … [puzzles – why yes, crossword puzzles!]

Good good links #12

Hi there!

Today’s going to be a short intro because I have a lot on my plate for the day [both in terms of household tasks and hopefully recipe creating]. Nothing like a busy Sunday around the house to forget about freezing weather and lack of sunshine, right? And aside from that today’s the day to let others’ amazing posts shine again instead of taking over the stage myself ;). Here are some of my favourite reads from the week! I hope you find them as inspiring, thought-provoking, funny or delicious as I did. Whatever your other plans: Happy Sunday!
