Links I Love Week 6: Year 2025

It is a snowy and cold weekend in Chicago. Officially, it is Super Bowl Sunday, but I am not thrilled about the team match-ups, and I might skip it. I am working on unplugging one day a week, and Sunday to Monday morning (after links are published) is the perfect time.

Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.
