We’re back with more link lovin this week!

These are so good we aren’t going to waste any time getting into it. Here we go…

Best Icy Treat- What could be better than an “ice cream” made completely of cold brewed cinnamon coffee? (the infamous Blue Bottle coffee from San Francisco, might we add)  Absolutely nothing could be better than Steve’s Ice Cream on a hot summer day, or any day for that matter. Non Dairy too!

Best New Age Stationery- We’ve got our sites set on a more economical, and more eco-friendly way to embrace the art of letter writing. See ya later snail mail, with Paperless Post you can send the prettiest e-cards that exist on the web within an instant.

Best Appetizer-  Say hello to The Pioneer Woman‘s Watermelon Pico De Gallo. This looks so refreshing and delicious, we want to make this by the gallon.

p.s. if you live in Chicago, we encourage you to check out their theater performance that’s coming to the windy city this fall!

Best Photo Blog- What happens when you take 14 photographers (that all happen to be moms), present them with a different theme each week, and add in their families? Spilled Milk, heartwarming and hillarious.

Best Quickie- Working out isn’t always fun, sometimes it’s close to torture. However, we are completely on board for a 7 minute anything. This 7 minute work out can be done almost anywhere- on your lunch break, right when you wake up, or even while you’re waiting for your coffee to brew.
