Diving Right In...

Hi Everyone!  I am just stopping by to tell you that instead of sitting on the couch, putting together my Sunday links post, I went to the beach and ate seafood and went swimming in the ocean. 
I know...  Where are my priorities?!  This week I'll be sharing some fun beach food recipes, and undoubtedly more sunny-weather activities.  Thanks for all of the finger-crossing and sunshine-wishing-- it seems to have worked!

I know I slacked this week with the reading-- want to take over for me?  Do you have any great reads/ links to share?

    Looks like you made the most of a sunny day! Here's a link to a post that made me smile this week : http://colormekatie.blogspot.co.uk/. And this review made me really want to see this play: http://giddayfromtheuk.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/speechless.html
    The photos from this trip made me want to go to Italy- today! http://happyhomemakeruk.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/trip-to-amalfi-coast-italy.html. And, of course, I loved your post about baby steps. So many good reads!

      Thanks for those links, Jenny! I loved looking through Katie's blog-- so many fun, cheery posts!
      I also loved Laura's pics from the Amalfi Coast. Part of the reason that I didn't have a collection of links this week was that the weather was awful, and it seemed like half of the world was either in Greece or Italy. And I just couldn't handle it. But now that the sun's come out, I can be happy for everyone (but I'm still saving my pennies for a trip to Greece!)

      Thanks, Elie! I loved that. Too funny, and of course we're very sympathetic to allergies and how ridiculous it can feel sometimes!

    Hi Ariana,

    Looks like you really enjoyed your weekend. How nice it is to eat delicious seafood and then jump into the water, scream the weekdays stress out of the body, I wish I'd done that.
    Since its my first time here, I would like to invite you to my blog. Cheers!

    Thanks for your visit, Zunnur! Yes-- there is no better stress relief than going swimming, spending a day in the sun, is there?

Something I love about blogging is the way that I can meet people from all over the world, and we can have conversations about life and the subjects at hand. Please introduce yourself, I would love to hear what you have to say!
