Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop #339

7 Comments

Welcome to our party! Party? How do you have a party on a blog? We call them “blog hops” or “link parties.” For those who may not be familiar with them, blog hops are parties where bloggers share their latest posts with the public. Other visitors also attend, looking through the collection of posts in search of great ideas. Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop has some of the best recipes, crafts, kids activities, mom tips and home decor ideas on the internet. Check them out and, when you find something you really like, visit and pin it so you can find it again in the future!

Last week there were so many great posts shared at our party, it was hard to narrow it down to just a few features, but we did it! So, take a look >>>

Come To A Link Party!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #281
 
Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #281 is here and I CANNOT believe how fast July is going!  I have really enjoyed going through all of our bloggers’ fabulous posts to pick my features, SO much awesome content!
 
We’ve finally gotten a break in the weather here in Western New York, so now we can go outside without melting into puddles.  We don’t have air conditioning in our farm house but we ALWAYS have a beautiful breeze that makes things a bit more comfortable.
 
I’m not lying, I’m not exaggerating – I REALLY REALLY REALLY had the HARDEST time picking the features.  My laptop screen is covered in images and url addresses of all the posts I was considering for a feature.  Thank you to all the bloggers who keep publishing some awesome material – keep it coming!

This week’s features for Happiness Is Homemade #281

 

As you may (or may not!) recall from our last Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #280 I am looking for ideas to decorate the giant wall behind our TV.  I spotted this gorgeous looking DIY craft  for Plaster Dipped Flower Art from So Much Better With Age and I thought it would look incredible, not to mention frugal. 

The wild blackberries on our property are starting to ripen – I’m going to make this delicious looking Blackberry Clafoutis from Cooking with Carlee, my family will think I’m so classy and sophisticated! 😉

I’m always a sucker for a beautiful wreath to display inside or outside our home!  How about this DIY Boxwood Wreath Tutorial from Cherished Bliss – I’ll never feature a post that I don’t think I could do myself, and this one looks foolproof and so country chic!

 

We received some new rocking chairs for our front porch where I like to sit in the evening drinking Mommy juice 🙂  I thought about looking at a local store for some cute cushions BUT I can use this tutorial from Curly Crafty Mom on how to make my own DIY Outdoor Seat Cushions instead, much more customizable for sure!
And finally because everything is better wrapped in bacon, my family will love these Easy Bacon Wrapped Green Beans from She Saved to snack on.  I like that they are easy to make and give me the crunch I am always looking for!
Since I had such a difficult time picking out my features, I also want to share three honorable mentions that I think you should check out too:
 
DIY One Rope Tree Swing from TeeDiddlyDee
Homemade Fresh Rosemary Spray Cleaner from Fresh Vintage by Lisa S.
 

 
 
Cabana Strip Grey & White Stripe Envelope Pillow Tutorial from It All Started With Paint
 

Please check out our featured posts and honorable mentions and leave a comment – bloggers love it when you leave feedback!  Be sure to also Pin, Share or bookmark any posts you are interested in so you can reference them later.
 
Come to a link party! Happiness Is Homemade has begun 🙂 #bloghop #mombloggers Share on X
 
It’s been so much fun hosting this month, I hope you enjoyed all of my features and dry sense of humor 🙂
 
Please feel free to follow me on Instagram and Facebook where I share blog posts, recipes, memes and my adventures with my family on our new/old farmhouse, Starry Acres.  I celebrate the messy messes and tidy victories of parenthood with a sigh and a smile!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party of the Week

4 Comments

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #280
 
Welcome to our party!  What a great link party we had last week, and now we are ready for the next one.
 
Our weather has been so hot and humid for our region that we’ve been trying to find family activities that keep us cool.  Movies, swimming and air-conditioned library visits have been high on our list lately 🙂

What has your weather been like lately?
 
I am so excited for you to see my featured posts this week, and congratulations to those bloggers for their great content!

This week’s features for Happiness Is Homemade #280

 

I personally did not purchase anything during Prime Day on Amazon last week, but I know that many people don’t take advantage of all the neat things that come with their membership.  This post from Jennifer Lambert at A Sacred Balance explains it all – How To Get the Most from Amazon Prime.

About a week ago I took the kids out and picked 22 pounds of fresh cherries – dirt cheap and so easy to pick!  Look at this amazing looking recipe from Flour on My Face for Sweet Cherry Preserves, I’ll be making this for sure!

I love making sweet treats to take to picnics, parties and gatherings.  These Mini Oreo Cheesecakes from A Labour of Life look so tasty – not to mention easy to take on-the-go!

 

As we get ready for our big family trip to Disney at the end of August, I keep hearing SO many good things about their pineapple dole whip.  Apparently it is iconic. In preparation for how much I am going to love this Disney treat, I found this Copycat Dole Pineapple Whip recipe.  Any dole whip experts out there?  Try this recipe and let us know what you think.  
We have a very tall, wide and empty wall behind our TV in the family room.  I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to decorate it with some shelving, pictures, etc.  But I found this awesome tutorial with instructions on How To Create Your Own Multi Panel Split Canvas Print from Drugstore Divas – I think I found the perfect decor!
Please check out my featured posts and leave a comment – bloggers love it when you leave feedback!  Be sure to also Pin, Share or bookmark any posts you are interested in so you can reference them later.

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop #337

4 Comments

Welcome to the Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop! It is well into summer now and, you may not believe it but, “back-to-school” is about to appear! The principal of the school where I work just contacted me to say that my class roster is already full!  Our first day of school is way into September, so this is very unusual. We even have a waiting list. Now, school where YOU live probably begins much earlier so thinking about school clothes and supplies during July may be a very familiar theme. I expect to see some great back-to-school posts coming along in our party soon!

Last week’s party was a great one. Here are some favorites that everyone really enjoyed…

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party

1 Comment

 
Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #279!  I hope you enjoyed last week’s party and my features – I really enjoyed Pinning so many of the awesome posts our bloggers had to share!
 
Now that my kids have been out of school for a solid two weeks, I’m trying to come up with ideas and projects to keep them occupied.  We’re also doing quite a bit of traveling to visit family out of town.


How has your summer been so far?
 
Are you ready to check out my featured posts?  Without further ado…

This week’s features for Happiness Is Homemade #279

 
Check out this INCREDIBLE looking Lemon Ombre Layer Cake with Lemon Curd Filling from Bird’s Party – I love lemon in the summer and I think ombre is such a beautiful effect!

Do you have some pavers or perhaps brick that need updating?  Check out this DIY Painted Brick Pavers project from So Much Better With Age – I think it takes a floor to the next level!

Sooooooooo we just picked 30 lbs. of strawberries last week – yeah that’s a lot, I know.  I kept about 4 lbs. fresh in the refrigerator for a few quick baking treats and the rest directly into the freezer for making FREEZER JAM later on.  BUT just in case I need another idea, how about these 100 Strawberry Recipes from Attachment Mummy to use as a reference – I can’t be the only one out there with all those berries to use!
One of my favorite popsicles from when I was a kid was the orange creamsicle, so I HAD to feature this Over the Top Orange Creamsicle Milkshake recipe from Food Wine Sunshine.  It looks SOOOOOOOOOO refreshing and dreamy!
I love having pretty lighting around my patio to enjoy in the evening.  This DIY Wooden Lanterns with Solar Lights from Kippi At Home would be a great project for practicing using power tools.  

Sinea’s Featured Pick of the Week

DIY ice cream cone craft

DIY Rhinestone Ice Cream Cone Greeting Cards – White House Crafts
