Links I Love Week 7
Happy Sunday! This week’s links are packed for the long weekend. Don’t miss the two recipes that were home runs this week and plan to make them again. I had plans to travel this weekend and our flight was canceled due to bad weather. March will give me another opportunity to practice my ski skills and I am using the extra time to catch up and finish The Paris Guide which I plan to release this spring.
Grab your coffee and croissants and join me for links I love.
