Link Love | January 2018

Happy February!

As you know, my ‘link love’ posts are one of my favorite posts to write.  I love looking at other blogs & drawing inspiration from all the wonderful ideas out there.  Because I follow along with so many blogs, the amount of information can get very overwhelming sometimes!

In the past, I did a weekly roundup of my favorite links but I just couldn’t keep up in January.  Instead of freaking out over all the blog posts left unread, I took a couple days at the end of January where I actually sat down & read a lot of posts.  I just might make my ‘link loves’ a monthly thing now!

Here are the best blog posts I read in January!
