Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far! I made a quick trip to Birmingham last week to visit the Southern Living, Coastal Living and Cooking Light magazine HQ, which was a completely amazing experience thanks to the many lovely and welcoming staffers I met there who epitomized southern hospitality to the fullest extent. Got home well past midnight on Friday, and it’s been so nice to laze around with Adam and Phoebe, stock up on dinner ingredients at the farmer’s market, go for brunch and cozy up with movies in my pj’s. What are all of you up to this weekend? Anyone trying out a new recipe, catching a matinée, or soaking up this wonderful spring sunshine? I’d love to hear in the comments, and enjoy my favorite links from the past week!
