And here we are at the end of another week! I am super thankful to say that things have gone a lot more swimmingly regarding sleep this week. Also, I feel like we’ve been in school for a lot longer than two weeks. Everyone has been saying things like, “Oh remember at the beginning of the year…?” Uh, the beginning of the school year was last week. That could mean that this could be a long year, but I see it differently. I think since we’re seniors this year, we just connect and pick up our conversations and activities together so quickly that it’s like we never left!

Last week I didn’t get a chance to post a Fascinating Friday Links, so this week I have a TON of amazing links to share. Brace yourselves and just click on what sparks your interest!
