Coming Up On The Blog

I'm currently on a trip visiting family, so the posts are lacking around here - but hey, family comes first! :)

I thought I'd let you know about a few things that I'm planning to share on the blog.

My story of how I went from career gal to the imperfect homemaker I am today! I'll probably do this in a series of posts {4-5} because I'm wordy like that and I like to tell the whole story. :) Why do I want to share it?

 ~ When people that only know the current *me* hear the story, they are often surprised by it.
 ~ To share the things I still struggle with as I know many others struggle.
 ~ To encourage you  - if I can make these recipes or do these projects, anybody can - truly!

I hope to start that series in August. Stay tuned!

A new link-up opportunity on Saturdays so we can share in each other's blessings and hopefully share smiles and encouragement at the same time. It will include:

 ~ Sharing a picture.
 ~ Sharing Scripture.
 ~ Sharing bloggers or blog posts.
 ~ And more!

Since I'm on vacation, I make no promises, but I will try to post an explanation of the link-up this Saturday so you all have a week to prepare in case you want to join in!

There will eventually be another theme week. I had some good suggestions and was thinking about a healthy recipe week. But then the word crockpot was mentioned and a week of crockpot recipes really appeals to me! Feel free to add more suggestions in the comments as I don't have anything definite yet and this won't happen until September or October.

A hint of what we were doing yesterday on our vacation. :)

Thank you for being a part of my blog! I do so appreciate all of you!
