Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party 531. We are thrilled to begin another month of sharing, linking, reading, pinning and inspiration. Linda, from A Labour of Life is our hostess for the month of May, so let’s get started

This weekend is the Kentucky Derby and Cinco De Mayo which make really fun themes! And keep an eye on next weekend… Mother’s Day is May 12th!

So, come dazzle us with what you’ve been making, baking and creating this week. We love it all!

Features for Happiness is Homemade 531

Cinco De Mayo Table

The Painted Apron did me proud with a beautiful tablescape. The foyer table is ready for Cinco de Mayo and a fiesta of flavors with small faux cacti that can become party favors. How seriously on point is this for this weeks theme?

Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

Can we celebrate without Tacos, I think not. This easy crockpot chicken tacos recipe from Organized Island doesn’t get any easier with 3 simple ingredients in your slow cooker. These just take a few minutes of prep time and they practically cook themselves.

Cinco de Mayo Charcuterie Board

Check out this fun Cinco de Mayo Charcuterie Board from 3 Boys and A Dog! It’s full of festive snacks that are perfect for the May celebration! If you need ideas for a Cinco de Mayo party, use this as a yummy appetizer for your guests.

Lemonade Pie

Oooh, what a wonderful cool no-bake dessert for any occasion – frozen lemonade pie! This recipe is offered up by Walking on Sunshine.

Easy Clay Pot Sombreros

What a cute Cinco de Mayo craft for kids! Clay Pot Sombreros from Creatively Beth.

I love this foldable storage idea for Duplo blocks — easy to move around and makes over into a play station as well! ad

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #529. We are so glad you’re here and I think you will be real glad, too. Wait till you see our features and all of the amazing contributions to this week’s party. Creativity abounds!

——-

From this month’s hostess: My name is Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess and I have been your party host for the month of April. It’s been a crazy month filled with lots of concerts at work, starting sports for my one son and elementary musical practices for the other. Sometimes I feel like I am being pulled in too many directions at once but, with the help of friends and family, I get the job done.

Let’s get to this week’s party – simply scroll down to see all the posts that have been linked up by our participating bloggers!

This Week’s Features

Free Mother’s Day Printable Coupons for Kids

We are on the brink of Mother’s Day, but it’s not about the money spent on gifts for us moms. We appreciate something heartfelt and special. So if flowers or a gift isn’t in the budget for this year, you need to print these Free Mother’s Day Printable Coupons for Kids to use – such a fun and thoughtful idea!

Easy Hot Crab Dip

I love a yummy dip, and seafood is my favorite. Emily from Hunny, I’m Home shared this recipe for Easy Hot Crab Dip and it looks absolutely scrumptious.

62 Things to Declutter That You Won’t Miss At All

I am ready to haul out the house. It really is quite simple – I need to get rid of stuff. I love a good checklist, so I thought this list of 62 Things to Declutter That You Won’t Miss At All would be a good starting point.

Keto Cookies with Nut Butter

I would not classify myself as following a strict keto diet but I do try to limit the amount of carbs I eat every day. I keep a jar of cookies on my island for a little snack and thought this recipe for Keto Cookies with Nut Butter would be a good one to try out!

Bonus Feature

Magnolia Painted Wooden Rolling Pin

Look at how beautiful this project turned out! Lee Ann at Creative Moments put this tutorial together on how to make a Magnolia Painted Wooden Rolling Pin – there are sooooooo many possibilities as to designs that can be used.

Ever seen a rock polisher? One of my neighbors polished rocks when we were kids. She loved it and everybody was amazed at how beautiful the rocks were when they were finished. We would all ask if we could come over and see her precious gems! They looked pretty, just like the ones in the picture below. Ad
