::Weekend Bloggy Reading:: Link Up!

Welcome to my Weekend Bloggy Reading link party. I hope you'll link up your best post of the week today, and maybe leave me some comment love. Please be sure to read my guidelines before you add a link.

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

~Painted Seashell Charm via Madigan Made

~Back Yard Oasis via Sullivan and Murphy

~How to Paint a Union Jack Dresser via Seaside Shelter

~Outdoor Movie Party via Inspired by Family Magazine


~And Me? This week featured:

    Time to link up your best post of the week!


    Rules:
    • Please link back to me within your post. I will not feature your link if you don't link back to me in your post.*
    • No items for sale, shops, link parties, giveaways, etc. and please don't link up the same post week after week. 
    • Remember this party is for your best post of the week. Don't link up 10 posts...that's really not in the spirit of this party.
    • Visit some of the other links--that's how a good blog party works--participation!
    *A text link-back (ex- Linking to Serenity Now) is fantastic, but here's the button code if you'd prefer to use that rather than a text link-back:
    Weekend Bloggy Reading





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

    What are you up to this weekend?


    I'm busy packing clothes and beach stuff...the girls and I are headed to the North side of Myrtle Beach for a week with my mom, my sister, niece, my brother, my sister-in-law, and my nephew. Poor T is staying home (so watch out, robbers and stalkers!) to work. But don't feel too bad for him, because he's not so much a fan of the beach.

    This is our first time traveling outside of our "beach comfort zone." We've always stayed at Atlantic Beach, NC in years past. I'm all ears for suggestions of places to go, restaurants to try, etc!

      You have a real crowd going to the beach. I'm sure the girls will love playing with their cousins while you are there. Have a great time!

      I am at North Myrtle right now! It is a great beach but a little crowded for my taste. Just went to Dino's House of Pancakes this morning and it was fabulous - highly recommend.

      Hi Amanda-

      Love how you recap everything in your week - we get busy and this is such a great way to see everything you have been up t.

      Funny in the recap of link ups the shell necklace looked familiar - I had to think a bit then read it was Shannon of Madigan Made.I was with her at a local blogging function on Monday and she was wearing it. It looked so pretty.

      I hope you have a great weekend - Stay cool.

      My best- Diane

      Hi Amanda! I linked up my crazy wallpapered ceiling. Thanks for the party!

      I wish we could have talked more at Haven! What a whirlwind!

      We had ten little girls at our house today for a birthday party. It was my daughter's 5th and her first party "with friends." I wish I could sleep the rest of the weekend! I'm wiped out....

    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! :)
