Who makes more PET HAIR??? Cats or Dogs?

No matter how much shedding is going on in your house, this by far is the BEST pet hair vacuum (I know, I have used them for years) EVER!

July is HERE!!! Oh, I love this month. The warmth. The brightness of the sun. And, the unscheduled hurricane!! What? Hurricane in Western New York in July? None of this makes sense. Granted, we are getting much less residual weather from Beryl than the folks in our southern states but still we have weather reporters alerting us that tornadoes, though rare, are something to be on the watch for. We won’t get one, I am confident, and I surely don’t want one. If you have ever lived through a tornado, tell us about it in the comments!

And still, the blog hop goes on. 🙂 We have some really great shares this week and the party will continue to grow till Saturday. Be sure to check them out and even come back again to see what else is new.

We are expanding our style for sharing features, adding little treasures here and there who may not have had a lot of views but they were just too good to ignore!

BTW, shout out to Cincy Shopper! I made your Loaded Potato Salad recipe for a party and everybody LOVED it!

Cats? Dogs? Pet hair????????

This is my utmost favorite vacuum cleaner. I love how it does such a great job picking up even stuck-on pet hair. It is lightweight and SUPER easy to empty, too. You can read my personal story here, or just go right over to Amazon to take a look (and maybe buy one yourself!)

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party

Features for Happiness is Homemade 539

Popsicle Stick Uncle Sam Craft by Darcy and Brian is super adorable. It would be a great Patriotic Day-kid’s craft.

Faux SPARKLER BOX and FIRECRACKERS for the 4TH of JULY from Fresh Vintage by Lisa S is a great idea for 4th July DIY decoration.

CROWN SHADES 10×10 Pop Up Canopy, Patented Center Lock One Push Instant Popup Outdoor Canopy Tent, Newly Designed Storage Bag, 8 Stakes, 4 Ropes, Camouflage Blue & White

Note about the blessing of having a tent-canopy such as this one: I was just at a cookout that began with a lot of rain. We all ran into the house to let it pass. My son, the grill-master- had a canopy set up over the grills and folding table he uses for workspace. Food prep continued beautifully! What a great idea.

4th of July Donut Cookies by Fat Dad Foodie is really yummy and festive looking, perfect for Patriotic Day!

How to Make the Cutest Camping Cupcakes coming from 24 Hour Family is amazingly cute for Summer camp treats. Hmm, yummy!

BasketPong® Giant Yard Pong X Basket Ball Game with Durable Balls and Buckets – Outdoor Game for Lawn, Backyard and Beach – Set includes 12 Buckets, 2 Basket Balls and a Carrying Bag

When you were a child did you equate the arrival of summer with the 4th of July??? You did? Me, too! The fireworks and picnics and trips to the beach and parades were something we little kids looked forward to. Summertime had begun!

You will see the marks of summer and sunshine in many of our guests’ posts this week and for some weeks to come. Personally, I love everything about this time of year. That’s why I picked a hot air balloon for this week’s party image. All part of the beauty of our celebrations. So, enjoy our features of the week, all yummy recipes, and browse what has been shared on our party. Yippee!
