::Weekend Bloggy Reading:: Link Up!

TGIF...for real, friends!!
First off, is anyone else having issues with Feedburner? For awhile, they were deleting 80% of my subscribers and then replacing them almost every other day. Then they fixed. Now it's broken again. I went from 988 subscribers down to 160 overnight. They have no way to contact them, no help forum, nothing. I am beyond frustrated. A local friend of mine who subscribes says she hasn't received one of my posts in several days. Am I the only frustrated Blogger out there?

It has been a long week, and I'm ready for a little break. When I'll get it, I don't know. We have three (!) birthday parties to attend this weekend. I love socializing, but I think I might need a nap by Sunday evening. I signed up as an Independent Consultant with Blessings Unlimited on Wednesday night (more on that another time), and I'm already getting slightly stressed trying to plan my first Girls' Get-Together. Add to that preschool, ballet, and MOPS commitments, and I need a spa day or something! {wink}

{What are you up to this weekend?}


Today is the fun day where I share a few of my favorite posts from around Blogland this week, and you get to link up the best post from your own blog this week.

All I ask is that you please include my party button (code is below) or a link back to me within your post.

Here are some of this week's faves:

~Check out Staci's take on Cupcakes in a Jar. She went all literal with cup-cakes. Love it!

~I fell hard for Courtney's Inexpensive Autumn Decorating Idea.

~Stephanie showcased a lovely Pantry Subway Art Project.

~Jennifer posted some pictures of her grandmother's Miniature Village. The details are absolutely stunning!

~And me? This week I bid an old friend good-bye and welcomed The Replacement. I can see myself Falling for Autumn, especially since it was Back in the Saddle Again for Natalie as she headed back to preschool. And I'm still mulling over carpet cleaning options due to The Ugly House Guest.


Now it's your turn! Let me know if you need help getting your link to appear.

Here's the button code if you'd prefer to use that instead of a link-back:

    I hate when so many birthday party end up on the same weekend. It makes for cranky kids and tired parents...or the other way around:)That Autumn decorating idea is adorable...thanks for sharing the link!

    I love your weekly roundup! That's so frustrating about feedburner. I am a follower so no problems for me. My link wouldn't work when I tried to link up and I know you're swamped so if you don't get to posting it, no worries!!

    Hey girl!

    How exciting about your being a Blessings consultant! Did you see that Nester mentioned it on her post today? What does a consultant do?

    One of these days I'm going to have a post to link up to your WBR again. The past couple of weeks I feel like I haven't had much to show!

    Good luck with your multiple parties. If I were you, I'd take my spa day AFTER the parties! :)

    You have been a busy girl! Three birthday parties in one weekend is a lot of partying. I hope you can relax a bit (maybe with one of those Walmart wine coolers) this evening.

    I'm really looking forward to hearing more about your new business. It will be a fun way to meet new people and make some money, too.

    Enjoy your weekend!

    I had some big issues with Feedburner last month. The same thing was happening over and over again. Eventually it got fixed and now has been fine for a few weeks.

    Have fun at your birthday parties this weekend!!
