Weekend links

some of my Instagram photos from the week: enjoying a beautiful day at the park // the perfect avocado - always worth documenting // choosing a book to read aka pulling all of the books off of the shelf // a typical IG self-photo // bath-time with Daddy // making Hank lunch // Kindermusic class // our front door // "button" for February photo-a-day

It's Saturday, the weather is beyond beautiful, and we are about to begin a busy, busy day. On the agenda: a quick workout for yours truly, an afternoon and early evening birthday party for Alana and Erin (yay for joint celebrations), and dinner for Sarah later in the night. Of course three of my favorite ladies would all turn 30 in the same week! This reminds me that I need to charge my camera...

I'll be back later to share another love story and some birthday photos, but until then, here are some links to check out. Enjoy- and have a wonderful weekend!
