Links I Love Week 3
Click here to shop Snow Day in Montmartre Print
This weekend, I celebrated Henri’s Gotcha Day. It has been one year since I brought this guy home. He hasn’t left my side since. We woke up to a few inches of snow which provided a little entertainment on our daily walk. I am working on getting into a routine for the new year to continue on a health journey. Sleep, staying active, eating healthy, and drinking lots of water are all part of the plan. You will see this as a theme as you read this week’s links. There are a few bonus links if you are thinking this week is a bit longer than usual. We have a holiday on Monday making it a four-day weekend.
Grab your cup of coffee and croissant and join me for links I love.

I bought a Hatch restore clock this week. Partly to help me improve my sleep, also to help neutralize the noises in our bedroom. Henri barks at everything and anything while we fall asleep.
