How are you about snow? Living in the northeast, we have accepted it as a way of life but there comes a time when enough is enough. I’ll get to that place, eventually, but I have to say that I am kind of excited for a gorgeous (safe) blanket of snow coming overnight. In fact, this year I was so late getting my Christmas decorations up that I have a fully decorated tree for the occasion!
QUESTION OF THE DAY: when is it too long for a Christmas tree to still be up?
ANSWER: When you have to dust it for cobwebs!!! I
am happy to report that mine is nice and clean, neat and beautiful. Well, enough with the weather. Let’s get to our features of the week and NEW party fun (below.)

Do you have a favorite vacuum cleaner that you can’t do without?
Took me a long time to find mine. Before that wonderful day, my vacuums were a source of frustration and disappointment. Then my sister-in-law loaned me her new vacuum and I was in love! That was 8 years ago and I still love it as much as I did then. Quick Read=> why I still love my pet hair vacuum! Or just go see it (the newer version) here, with lights!(I’d have this new one myself but my original is so great that it still cleans like it’s brand new! I’m devoted to it.)
Springtime is a great time for a blog party. Ideas abound in the garden, the kitchen, for spring clean up (organizing enthusiasts LOVE spring) plus special celebrations – such as Mother’s Day Sunday May 11th – fashion, new décor, crafty crafting and more!

Welcome to Happiness is Homemade 549- Linda here from A Labour of Life and this is week 2 of my hosting the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party for September. We are almost at the end of the Summer and that means, Pumpkin Spice and everything nice.

It’s crazy, September use to signal the end of the season but the last several years it has been a bit on the drier side and very warm, so beautiful as we begin to welcome fall. What’s your September weather like where you are?It’s time to get to this week’s party – simply scroll down to see all the posts that have been linked up by our participating bloggers!
It will surprise none of you that have been linking up for a while that my first feature is a beautiful Fall Tablescape. The Painted Apron has shared a lovely start of Fall tablefeaturing Sunflowers and black checks. I need to try something similar
Next up from Out in My Nest is this aromatic simmer pot. This is the coziest fall simmer pot to make your home smell so good and feel warm.We are heading into fall and cozy season. One of my favorite things to do is simmer a nice simmer pot and make the house smell amazing. This one reminds me of coffee cake or like you are sitting in a cozy coffee house with Rory Gilmore in your favorite cable knit sweater.
A Day of Small Things has incorporated Back to School into her Fall decor and I love it. You can feel fall creeping in around the edges and my back to school decor always sets the tone beautifully.
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
How delicious does this a slice of warm banana bread from Ducks in a Row sound? Imagine coming home from school or work to the wonderful scent of banana bread in the air. The only thing better is if it is chocolate chip walnut banana bread! Now, that is a treat! This recipe is simple to make. You will love it!
And finally a SIDE feature, How delicious do these Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies from Rose Bakes look?Easy Instant Pot Au Gratin Potatoes are easy, cheesy, and delicious! I absolutely love how much time I save by making these cheesy potatoes in my pressure cooker! They are the perfect side dish with layers of potatoes, a creamy sauce, and your favorite seasonings!
