To think I used to like Mondays! Now..Monday's are one of my most hectic days. I'm basically a walking zombie by 5 o'clock. Add in the monsoon this week...bad start to the week! I've also realized umbrellas do NOT work! I was still soaked, but they may be due to the fact that I don't own any rain gear. No rain coat, no boots, just my poor traiing sneakers :/ My feet were soaked! At least we finally got hot water in our shower...that helped with the soaked, cold, shivers! (Yes, we didn't have hot water for 2 weeks...brutal!) Still trucking along with tons of work and trying to keep up with this blog! I think I'll be sticking to just 2 posts and the Friday Finisher for right now (unless I find some extra time one week to finally put up some Freedom Features and other info posts I have...)
Until then, keep enjoying great food, warm(er) weather, and happy relaxing weekends of recuperation! xoxo

That paleo nacho cheese sounds delicious! Had a look through the bad habits that make life harder and I must say I'm guilty of quite a few of those points! 🙁
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
We all have habits we need to work on!
Shannon @GirlsGotSole
Oy, rainy and cold is no fun. Some people love the rain, but I'm okay without it. Though, I don't mind a run in a light rain.
I don't know what my busiest day is...maybe it is Mondays. Though, I'd say Tuesdays and Wednesdays can be busy as well. I just always look forward to Friday. Ha!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I've never liked Fridays.
Claire
What a fantastic round up, lots to explore! xx
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Enjoy!
Robyn @ Simply Fresh Dinners
Oh my goodness, Rebecca, you blow me away each week with the wealth of information you share. I have bookmarked a few sites and will be back over the weekend because I really need to do some serious reading. Especially on design and book reading.
I don't know how you keep the schedule you do- whew! Glad to hear you have hot water though, lol. When we lose those kind of things, it really gives us an interesting perspective, doesn't it?
Take care...and thanks for the reading material 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Have a great weekend, Robyn!
Farrah
hahaha, when did you like Mondays?! I don't think I ever managed to convince myself to. I hope you're hanging in there! (The monsoon was not fun. ._.) Wet feet with socks = terrible times. I'm with you on scaling back, haha. 3 posts/week is already enough work!
P.S. That salmon bibimbap looks effing amazing. 😮
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I think I started the week and ended the week on a very bad note....just 10 minutes ago I spilled an entire glass of almond milk and 4 TB of protein powder all other the table, floor, chair....MESS! I'm ready for bed!
Demeter | Beaming Baker
Aw, it stinks that you got soaked! That has got to be a bummer! Hopefully next week goes a bit more smoothly. In the mean time, thanks for sharing so many interesting reads! I'm intrigued by the ones about teaching kids how to handle failure and the one about expressing your emotions in a healthy way. Thanks for sharing. Have an awesome weekend, Rebecca! 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, to dry weeks! Have a lovely weekend too, Demeter!
