Links I Love Week 11
After a few weekends of back-to-back travel, I am so happy to be home. I loved traveling to see my family and I am grateful for the special time we had together. I need a reset weekend with healthy food and I am way overdue to clean out my closet for spring. Henri and I have some catching up to do and I would love to dive into a new book.
I was able to finally go back to in-person classes at my dance studio. Case numbers are low in Chicago and I have antibodies. I am still fighting my anxiety but It felt so good to get back. I have a month until my 40th birthday and I want to start to get back into shape. Not to mention a wedding later this year.
Grab your coffee and croissant and join me for links I love.
