Hello, Friday! Link Roundup

I’m a little late with today’s post, but better late than never, right?

My husband and I played hooky yesterday and went to the beach. It was amazing and the sun and relaxation were just what I needed! We took a ton of pictures. I’m sharing a few today, plus more next week!

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? My schedule is wide open, which is just how I like it sometimes. I’ll just have to see what the days bring!
