Happy Spring! I hope you are enjoying some sunshine this weekend. Henri and I were able to get out and about for a bit. He loves the snow, but he also is enjoying the sunshine, rain, and mud season. We finally got into a bit of a groove this week and while Henri napped, I was very productive. You will notice there are 5 new posts this week! Grab your coffee and croissant and enjoy this weekās links. There is a good mixture of content below. I have to say, this may be one of my favorite weeks of links in a while.
