::Weekend Bloggy Reading:: Link Up!

Welcome to Weekend Bloggy Reading. I hope you'll link up your best post of the week today, and maybe leave me some comment love!

All kinds of posts are welcome--recipes, crafts, funny stories, home decor, etc.; but please do not link to Etsy shops, businesses, items for sale, etc. (I have a Sponsors section, if you'd like to Advertise with me.)

Here are a few of my faves from this week:


sources listed below

~This DIY Pull-Out Pantry is a result of some hard work and a few margaritas. See how Katie pulled it off at On the Banks of Squaw Creek. 

~Jen’s beautifully organized laundry room will make you swoon with its bins, baskets, bright colors.

~One of the recent stops on Lindsey's home tour was her girls' bedroom: soft and feminine without being over-the-top girlie, and lots of unique storage options.

~Sarah added some texture to her kitchen with a window mistreatment from an unusual source: 1960s blinds. See how she updated her space using outdated materials at Three Boys.

~In a recent article, Social Media Examiner shared the Top 21 Dangerous Blogging Mistakes and How to Fix Them.
~And Me? This week featured:

Time to link up your best post of the week (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!

We'll be taking advantage of the tax free school shopping in Virginia this weekend. The girls need a few outfits, and I'm never one to turn down shopping! Natalie's going to be in another Fashion Show next weekend, so we have to go in to look over the wardrobe choices as well. So much fun to be a fashionista! {wink}

What are you up to this weekend?

I'll be back tomorrow with some highlights from Weekend Bloggy Reading!

    That pull out pantry is awesome! I think we are going to try something like that in our camper. It is tax free weekend around here too so we are going to be shopping a little for vacation! I hope you have a great weekend Amanda:)

    Oh how I need a pull out pantry like that one!!!! I can picture it full of yummy baking supplies:-) Have fun shopping this weekend...free tax sounds like the perfect reason to hit it hard! And a fashion show? How fun is that for your daughter! Sounds to me like you have yourself a busy few days. Have lots of fun!

    HI girlie! I am finally over my bloggy summer break and am linking up to your FABU linky party once again. Thank you for hosting and finding such great things to read. I find the best reads from you!!!

    BTW, I couldnt' get your button to work in my post (it is me, not you..because I had that happen earlier in the week with another button that my blog just wouldn't accept...blogger and I are having a major love/hate relationship right now) BUT I did link back at the bottom of the post! Happy Friday, my friend!!!!

    I am so jealous of that laundry room and the picture of the girls room REALLY make me want to kick my butt in gear and get the girls' room done.

    Thanks for hosting!

    You had a big week, didn't you? I'm so happy for you and T!!

    You've highlighted some good posts here. I'm a busy bee this weekend and there's more to come next week, so this time next week I hope to linking up something great for WBR! Or else I'll be linking a post telling about my miserable homemaking failures. Fingers crossed.

    Love you, girl! Have a great weekend.

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! :)
