::Weekend Bloggy Reading:: Link Up!

Welcome to Weekend Bloggy Reading. I hope you'll leave me a little comment love today and be sure to link up your best post of the week! Bloggers who include a link back to me OR my party button within their post will get an automatic entry to this week's Valentine's Scentsy Warmer Giveaway.

Here are a few of my faves from this week:
sources listed below

~With a little help from the Apostle Paul, Richella poured her heart out in a touching (and convicting!) post entitled Thoughts from a Blogging Mother. Best post I've read anywhere in a long time.

~How to Make a Household Notebook from Tip Nut.

~Kim Compared House Renovations to Having a Baby. She was spot on!

~Melissa turned a brassy light fixture into a fabulous-for-five dollars Pottery Barn Knock-Off.

~And moi?
This week, I shared my Winter Reading List, showed you my Valentine's Decor along with a Valentine's Scentsy Warmer Giveaway, gave you the recipe for the world's best Butterscotch and Chocolate Chip Nut Bars, and announced a new monthly blog party for Silhouette/Cricut/Cuttlebug/Sizzix, etc. projects, tips, and tricks: I {Heart} My Crafty Cutter party (opens Monday, Feb. 21st!).

Time to link up your best post of the week (please, please take the time to include a link-back or my party button and visit some of the other participants!)
Here's the button code if you'd prefer to use that rather than a link-back:
Weekend Bloggy Reading







Party is open until 10 pm (ET) on Sunday night.

Remember that blog parties work best when bloggers participate, so if you have a chance to visit a few of the other links, you might find a new friend or two!

I have a Blessings Unlimited party tonight, the girls have a birthday party tomorrow morning, Sunday School get-together tomorrow night, and big plans for Super Bowl commercial watching on Sunday while T cheers on whichever team he dislikes least. Busier than I'd like, but hopefully fun!

{What are you up to this weekend?}

  1. Amanda! Thank you so much for mentioning my little post. I appreciate it.

    After coming home from Blissdom, I've had to remind myself of what's really most important. It's easy for me to get sucked into whatever is swirling about me. That post was sort of the overflow of what was going on in my heart.

    And that cute red-headed boy in the photos? He just found out that he was accepted at UNC-Chapel Hill and that he's a finalist for a merit scholarship at Sewanee. It seems like just yesterday I was teaching him to read. Now it's time to send him off to college. It's fine with him for me to be a blogger, but only if I'm his mom first. Sometimes I really need a reminder of what takes priority! :)

    Love ya!

  7. Yes, Richella's post was awesome! Hope your party does well tonight! I'm with T on the Super Bowl party. Guess I'll root for the Packers since The Steelers are mortal enemies of The Cowboys and they're playing at our stadium. Maybe I'll make your bars for the Super Bowl. Sounds like a good excuse to cheat to me! :) Thanks for hosting!

  11. Thanks for the shout-out! I'm just glad I don't have to give birth to the house. That could be painful.

    Okay... to much information. Thanks again, Amanda. You are so sweet.

  14. Thank you for hosting! I too loved Richella's post. I went to Blissdom and had a great time but I really can't spend any more than 1-2 hours a day on my blog so I was a little overwhelmed by all the stuff I "should" be doing. I usually just do it during nap or night time but I do have to sleep and cook and clean the house and do laundry too!! Don't know how people do it...oh and I LOVED mini shopaholic!!

  16. LOL! Your Super Bowl plans sound pretty much like ours! The women watch the commercials and the men cheer for the least hated team! My boys are in our school pageant tomorrow so we will be spending most of our weekend involved in that! Have fun at your party tonight!

  20. Cheering for whichever team he dislikes least, haha! That's about how I feel with our Bears not making it. We'll be having a party, for which I need to get cleaning! ;)

    I'm enjoying browsing with my breakfast, thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction of where I need to go, haha! Have a great weekend, Amanda.

  22. I just had to tell you that I have some butterscotch chocolate chip bars in the oven--thanks to YOU!!! And I also have to confess...as soon as the first batch went into the oven (and I tried a *couple* of bites of the raw dough), I promptly made a 2nd batch!! Can't wait eat one or two or four!! Thanks in advance for all the calories! Yum!

I love to hear your feedback! Please feel free to leave comments...just don't send me spam asking me to buy stuff off your website! I've got three kids and no money to purchase your magic weight-loss pill or bust enhancement, or whatever else you might be selling. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
