Home and Family Friday

May 21, 2010   By Becca 9 Comments

Welcome to Home and Family Friday. You know, I love a great craft project. Makeovers are my weakness. Wait, no, cookies are my weakness. Oh, and the DIY projects that have been posted here are like something from a magazine.

But, it was this post that just tugged at my heart strings last week. I haven’t shown my kids on here before, because I’m a neurotic freak but after reading this story I’ve decided it’s time to make a change. You see, I’m TOTALLY one of those moms who doesn’t like her picture taken. I’ll give every excuse in the book, too fat, no makeup, bad hair day… Sure, I’ll let my husband take one “token snap shot” to prove I was on the trip, but 99.9% of the time that camera is in my hands and not leaving. I’m taking this challenge and planning to take more pictures of myself having fun with my kids, not just my kids having fun. I can’t put it off until I lose 20 pounds. They’re just growing up too fast and I want them to remember the fun things we did together and not just mom living behind the camera. Thanks for sharing this Rebecca!


This was Spring Break at Suncadia. This is the only picture that I’m in. I think I took about 300.

On with the party! I love seeing all of your projects, makeovers, recipes, and especially great things you’ve done with your family. Thanks for linking up and I hope you’ll take the photo challenge too!

By the way, next week I’m going to feature a favorite project. I’ll use a picture from your link and link back to the original post. I love reading blogs that highlight the previous week’s party.

What a great week! The weather here in the Pacific Northwest has finally dried out a bit. We’ve had sunny skies and temps in the fifties and sixties. I’ve been working outside in the front yard and the back yard.

The flowers in my yard are just starting to bloom.


Before we get going with the party, I’m wondering something. If someone posts something at a linky party but also says on their blog that you cannot use their pictures in your blog, is it still ok to post their picture? I’d like to showcase a few favorite projects from the previous week, but don’t want to upset people. I would guess that as long as I show the project and link back to the original blog, it’s ok. Right? Let me know what proper blog etiquette is.

On with the party:

Home and Family Friday Linky Party

May 7, 2010   By Becca 7 Comments

Welcome to Home and Family Friday. I love a good linky party. I’ve been busy organizing this week. Last week I noticed that I spent a lot of time baking. So, this week I thought I should work on projects that don’t involve consuming calories. I’m feeling a little under the weather, so this is short and sweet. I have a few favorites from last week’s party that I want to share, but I’ll wait until I’m feeling like sitting upright. On with the party…

Welcome to my 3rd linky party. It’s been so much fun seeing all the family, organization, and craft projects.

I was thinking about the highlights of my week and unfortunately (for my waistline) my highlights are mostly about food. Hmmmm. I think I’m seeing a trend.


Hey, those are healthy!

Well, I did manage to start organizing my garage.

Next week there will be more sewing projects, more gardening, and more organizing. I guess that means less time spent baking.

On to the party…

It’s Home and Family Friday

My first linky party was so much fun last week! I have a few new projects on my to do list now. I can’t wait to see what everyone is working on this week. I’ve extended the party until Sunday. Several people commented that they weren’t able to get their link posted in time. Don’t forget to comment on other people’s posts. I would love it if you would grab my button and link back to my blog! I’m a new blogger and love making new friends in Blog Land!
