Weekend Link Love

Hi, friends and happy December! I’m making a rare Saturday appearance to make sure you get your weekly dose of link love. Yesterday I traveled to my alma mater to attend a retirement party in honor of the man who was the ultimate mentor to me throughout my undergraduate years and getting Friday Link Love up just couldn’t compete with spending a few hours reminiscing and sharing memories with old friends. Such a great way to spend the day! This morning I woke up to a fresh whisper-thin coating of snow so I am curled up on the couch right now, mug of hot apple cider in hand, looking forward to a quiet weekend. What’s on your agenda this weekend? Whatever you’re up to, here’s hoping it’s beautiful!
