Heather chose...
Burlap and Polka Dot Halloween Banner from Shambray Live a Happy Life
I absolutely LOVE this time of year! I love the cooler weather and the clothes that is brings (jackets and boots especially), I love the holidays that happen in Fall, and I love the decor. I am so excited to share this tutorial with you today. The other night I had a craft night with my friend. She proclaims to not be crafty. I do not believe it, but that is what she says. So I wanted to see how she did on this craft. I asked my husband after she left and he told me that her banner looked just as good as mine! So there you have it. This craft can be done by the self-proclaimed non-crafty people. I promise!
Meghan and Alycia chose...
Confessions of an Imperfect Mom from All Of Life's Little Adventures
Y'all know I like to keep it real around here, and lately I have been finding myself feeling guilty quite often for a lot of the parenting choices I make. Deep down I know I am a good mom, my child is loved, she is never hungry and has a roof over her head with a warm and cozy bed to sleep in every night, so why do I let the mom guilt come over me? For me, Mom guilt is the hardest part about parenting, I often journal about this topic and I have come to realize that there is a common denominator in all of the guilt, that being social media. Comparisons. Measuring up.
Cathy chose...
Pecan Cornmeal Pancakes Recipe with Homemade Caramel Sauce from The Gold Lining Girl
It’s easy for me to find inspiration for fall recipes. I think about fall food, and it brings to mind many of my favorite things: pecans, butterscotch, caramel, pumpkin (duh), honeycrisp apples… you get the picture. For me, it also conjures up cornbread. I don’t know why… maybe because cornbread dressing is a Thanksgiving staple? And I definitely associate fall with Thanksgiving? But now I’m getting ahead of myself. It’s only September (but almost October!! Omg).
Crystal chose...
The Fear Of Relapsing from PPMD News
This week, the fear of relapsing is VERY real for me. I was lucky enough to get a scholarship that allowed me 10 sessions with a therapist that has a lot of experience with postpartum mood disorders. This last Thursday was my last therapy appointment. I had mixed feelings about that day. I was excited because I feel like I am recovered and I know I wont miss the long drive (it was about 2 1/2-3 hours round trip). But I was (and still am) terrified. If I relapse, I can’t work through it with my therapist. I am very lucky that she set us up for success and went above and beyond what she had to do. But that fear is still there.
Jillian chose...
Mommy and Me Quality Time Challenge from Life's Little Projects
This is a mommy and me quality time challenge. I am learning to budget my time, prioritize the things that are most important to me and ways my kids and I can spend some real quality time together. I don’t mean every minute of the day just some quality time each day. I want to connect with my kids. I would love for them to grow up and feel like we have a great relationship and they had a great childhood. I don’t think you need to plan every minute of your kids day with fun activities. I do think they need a variety of independent play and quality time with parents. I hope you come along for the ride and join in on the fun.
Holly chose...
Striped Pillows from FabiFabu
These were a pair of curtain panels that were used for a short period by a family member, and were given to me for recycling. I put the fabric away for a while, until I decided what to do with it. One of the panels, was missing a piece of fabric, and I could not use it again as a curtain, I decided to make some pillows for the living room`s vintage mid-century sofa. This is an IKEA fabric, sold by the yard.
Tiffany chose...
How To Get A Tattoo - Tattoo Inspiration from The Organizing Boutique
I have a routine for how to get a tattoo. Yep, you read that correctly. :) I'm a professional organizer, and I'm a creature of habit. Once I do something a few times, a pattern emerges, I recognize it and the system gets established. Tattoos are no exception, so here are some of my tattoo inspiration and routine tips. Enjoy and please don't hesitate to ask me any questions. Okay? Rock on!
Angel chose...
A Lesson in Matthew: Enough is Enough from Raising Samuels Homeschool
Today, I am posting at Satisfaction Through Christ. I wanted to start this out with a disclaimer that I am not a psychologist or therapist or an expert on the subject I am discussing below. I am speaking from my heart. If you have an issue happening where someone is physically or emotionally hurting you, reach out to someone who can help you. This can be a trusted friend or family member or someone at your church, and they can direct you to the right resource.
Ce Ce chose...
Spice Your Neutral Nails-Book Style from Shambray
It is known that I love neutral nails. I like them plain, but I also like to spice them up a bit. Since I am a book person I decided to try transferring words from the newspaper to my nails. It is really easy.
Shana chose...
The World Around Me {#FTSF} from 100lb Countdown
I open my garage door to a quiet cul-de-sac. I catch a glimpse of a car passing by the adjoining street, but otherwise don’t hear anything. My daughter is screaming out Almost There at the top of her lungs… and since I’m the good SAHM, I’m belting out the lyrics too. I tend to think I have a good voice, but thankfully, there doesn’t seem to be anyone around to let me know that I’m wrong.
Anni chose...
Man Boobs from Living in Mommywood
October is upon us and aside from the crisp signs of Autumn, the spotting of beautiful leaves on the trees as they change colors, the great smell of Pumpkin this and that in the air, the sales of huge candy bags for Halloween it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
And the winner is...

Wake Up Wednesday "Linky" Party #33
Tweet #wakeupwednesdaylinky
Welcome to the 33th week of
I’m currently suffering through the hottest month of the year when my desk fan becomes next to useless no matter how high I turn it up. Homemade ice cream recipes to the rescue!

Joanna's Andalusian Zucchini Tortilla
from What's On The List
Are you curious like me where the zucchini is?
from Upstate Ramblings
Football season is just about underway! Whether it is a club, college, high school or professional teams are practicing and getting ready for another exciting season. My family loves to watch football. Of course football also means snacks, so to go along with our first game of the season I created this portable SNICKERS Pretzel Snack with cute little football bags.
Mommy Club
from Married Filing Jointly
How to Make Elderberry Extract
from Little Owl Crunchy Momma
I had these delicious Bourbon-Maple sweet potatoes as one of my sides. Ben doesn’t normally like sweet potatoes (which is one reason I ordered them!- kidding!) but he inhaled these babies. I decided to try to recreate the sweet potato recipe for our Thanksgiving meal and they were pretty spot-on.
Blairsden Mansion Tour: Part 2
from Ms. Toody Goo Shoes
In case you missed Part 1, I'm taking you on the mother of all house tours...
at Blairsden Mansion, in Peapack-Gladstone NJ.which was the site of a
Designer Showhouse fundraiser, back in May.
This frosty treat makes a refreshing ending to any summer meal. Simply scoop the slushy mixture into bowls or tall glasses and enjoy a refreshing dessert, all while still getting that melon flavor fix, albeit without all the dripping. Add a splash of vodka for an even sweeter summer adult beverage.
Finally, we found a dresser that fit out needs. It wasn’t too over-scale, had 9 drawers, and was only $100.
I was going to come up with a simple crock pot recipe, and then I found this decadent pumpkin butter recipe from I Bake, He Shoots. I tried it, loved it, and now…it’s the one I’m going to recommend. (Well, that’s an easy first day, isn’t it?)
Ever since I was five, my mother and I have always made this Classic Cherry Pie for special occasions or just dessert. I’ve never lost my taste for cherries…or dessert. This recipe has been a family favorite for years. A simple recipe easy to make for busy days.
Please visit some other bloggers and make some new friends and say hello to old friends..

Speaking of being a mommy...it is simply not a job you can understand until you are a mommy.
from Little Owl Crunchy Momma
It's incredibly easy, and super delicious. I use it to help make my elderberry syrup last longer (recipe coming soon). It's also delicious to add to cider in the fall and winter. Mmmmm. Delicious.

Things Women With Tattoos Know All Too Well.... from Sincerely Alaska
If you're like me, then you have a special place in your heart for the art that is tattoos. It took me about a year to convince my parents to let me get one for my 18th birthday but once they agreed I was on a mini-roadtrip with one of my best friends. It was a scary moment for me to have my first one done...especially since I started off with a big calf piece.
Mila chose...
Learning to Love my Post Baby Body from Life with Peanut
From the moment I found out I was pregnant, I was worried about how I would look. Don't get me wrong, I was so excited about becoming a mom, but I was two months into a weight loss journey that was finally bringing me happiness.
Jillian and Lori chose...
sixteen Pantry organizational ideas from A Fresh Start on a Budget
Unfortunately we have a small kitchen and not much of a pantry area. Only one large cupboard. That doesn’t keep me from wanting it to be organized and planning for the day of a bigger kitchen with an amazing pantry. These are 16 amazing pantries that will give you some ideas for your own pantry no matter the size.
Angel chose...
A Frozen Birthday Morning Surprise from The Organized Dream
If you read my Tour Through Blogland post, then you know that I wanted to create a Frozen themed winter birthday breakfast for my daughter. It is the first year her birthday falls on a school day and I wanted her to feel super special from the moment she woke up. I went with the Frozen theme because she has loved the movie since she had seen it in theaters. I thought it would be a great theme since it was a sweltering 90 degrees that day! Warm hugs are fine, but a Winter's touch was better at this point!
Holly chose...
How to Create a Photo Travel Map from My Big Fat Happy Life
I have several items on my bucket list. One that I decided on after S was born was to take her to visit all 50 states before she graduates from high school. That does not mean driving through a state. It means actually exploring the state…visiting museums, state parks, tourist attractions, etc. I believe that exposing S to different experiences, activities and travel is very important.
Shana and Silvie chose...
Letter of the Week A-Z Series: A is for Apple (Click & Chat Social Media Link Up) from A Little Pinch of Perfect
WELCOME WELCOME!!! Thanks so much for joining us I am so excited to get school started and share our first post in the Perfect Tot School & Preschool A-Z series.
Avie chose...
Skinny Banana Oatmeal Smoothie from Natural Chow
On Monday, Mother Nature decided to be all like “Hey, I know it was 100 degrees yesterday, but I think I’ll make it 53 degrees this morning.” Of course, I went outside Monday morning wearing shorts and a T-shirt thinking I was going to be sweating like crazy, but in reality, I had to go back inside and throw on a big ‘ol sweater just to keep my tiny little arms warm. Yep.
Jillian chose...
Sous Chef Sunday: Fast & Easy Refrigerator Pickles from 4 Sons 'R' Us
The sons have a love hate relationship with pickles. They either love them, or hate them. They’re firmly, and equally, entrenched on their sides with two for and two against. The hubs and I bolster each side with him against their salty, briny taste and me all for it! I’ve always got a family size jar in the fridge just for when one of us needs a pickled fix. Then I got a deal this summer from our local farmers market that resulted in us getting several pounds of free cucumbers. I couldn’t let those beauties go to waste, but wasn’t looking for anything in-depth that involved pectin and canning.
Natasha chose...
the gift of family time from Confessions of a Frumpy Mommy
I mentioned yesterday that this year I asked Mr. B for a different kind of birthday present. I requested that he take a day off work (while I'm off work, of course) and that we spend the day together as a family.
And the winner is...
