This week got away from me once we finally started back to school after our winter break. I spent most of my “child-free” time doing exciting back end stuff on the blogs and over at the International Bloggers Association (read more about that here). And, I am preparing something special for my Father-in-Law’s 90th birthday coming up.

Then there is our Happiness is Homemade Link Party – So many delicious recipes, creative crafts, fabulous DIY projects and amazing tips – all in one place yet HOW do you decide on JUST four to feature!! This first party of the year was amazing and I’ve had such fun looking at all of the Hosts’ blogs and all of the posts linked up.

In case you missed it, we’ve expanded our party to include 9 amazing bloggers to share in the duties of host of Happiness is Homemade (that’s 12 blogs your post will appear on). We couldn’t be happier to have them with us.

So get your “clicking” finger ready and link up, browse, pin, drool, and dream with us!!

Remember to check out all of the Hosts and their blogs and give them a warm welcome.

Then link up your best posts and remember to check out the other links and give them some love, too.
