link lovin'

Yay. It's Friday. I wanted to share a little link love from this week, blog posts I read that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I hope everyone has a nice and cozy weekend- rain is headed to southern California, oh my! Good excuse to stay in, catch up on Netflix and be with the people who matter, right?

• A Cup of Jo: On falling in love: I absolutely love this post by Joanna. It's a letter John Steinbeck wrote to his son in 1958 about falling in {young} love. My favorite quote from the letter is the last sentence "And don't worry about losing. If it is right, it happens -- The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away." I think every teenager should read it.

• This beautiful color story post by Ez at Creature Comforts. I love those sherbet colors, doesn't get much more spring-forward than that.

• This totally honest post by Theresa at Inspiration Cooperative. What can I say, Theresa just always knows how to say it best!

• Peanut butter cookie dough balls recipe by A Merry Mishap. Need I say more?

• This post by Lauren at Still + Life about the food scene in Charleston. Next trip, perhaps?

• This beautiful hexagon collection by My Little Fabric.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope you will be sharing the day with your lova' or are having a fun little Galentine's Day with your lady friends. In the spirit of sharing the love, I wanted to give y'all a Valentine's gift in the form of some awesome recent blog posts from some of my favorite blogging ladies. Sit back, grab a glass of bubbly {pink, I hope} and enjoy.

A Cup of Jo: How to Raise Kids Like a French Woman. A Cup of Jo has to be my favorite blog of all-time. This book looks really interesting. Although I won't be having kids for a while, I am still intrigued to read this one. Looks like a game-changer!

A Perfect Kind of Day: Potato Chip & Chocolate Cookies. Speaks for itself. Meesch is full of tempting recipes.

New York State of Mind: Reunited and it Felt so Good. What can I say, I like donuts. Daina also makes me want to move to NYC. But I won't be. So I live there vicariously through her blog.

Teal & Lime: Cake in a Jar Printable. Jackie took a spin on my cake in a jar DIY from Saturday. Love the recycled baby food jar idea and the printable is so cute.

on the seventh day of christmas: holiday link love

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me...7 swans-a-swimming, 6 geese a-laying, 5 golden rings, 4 calling bird{y}s, 3 french hens, 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.

Only a week left until it's Christmas day! I can hardly believe it. I will be going home to Minnesota over the holidays and can't wait to enjoy the colder weather {and hopefully snow} with all my family and friends. But before that happens, I still have four days of work, a dozen gifts to wrap, two holiday parties to attend and endless cookies to eat...most of which I'm looking forward to. 

To kick off this weekend, I have included some great holiday blog posts from some of my favorite bloggers. Put on your slippers, pour yourself a cup of hot coco and enjoy.
