Sunday Link Love is a recurring series of hand-picked digital marketing and entrepreneur lifestyle links from around the web. The links are very, very rarely affiliate links, but if any are, I'll say so. Along with sharing my recent favorites, it's also a way for me to keep an extra-personal touch to my blog. Social media is great, but my blog is still my home base!

On my mind... I just spent the past week in Montgomery Alabama for a client, so my head is swimming with ideas and to dos. It's always fun getting to revisit where I lived for a few years and see what's new.

What I'm loving... Summertime adventures are well underway! Not only traveling, but local Pittsburgh events are popping up more and more. I finally got to attend the Arts Fest last weekend and had a blast.

What fun events are going on in your city this summer?

Reading... That Night by Chevy Stevens. After traveling and socializing all week, I buried myself under the covers and read for awhile this weekend. It's a good mystery/thriller, so I was drawn in quickly.

Now on to this week's round up!
