Small Victories Sunday Linkup {31}

Welcome to our Small Victories Sunday Linkup!

This linkup is for posts that are positive or helpful in nature: books, recipes, DIY, blogging tips, home & health posts are all welcome. I think Sunday is the perfect day to reflect on the week that passed and look forward to the week ahead. Please join me by linking up to 3 of your favorite posts!

Featured Bloggers

Each week my co-hosts and I will select bloggers to feature, our most popular and favorite posts to share with you. This week our Reader’s Choice of Featured Blogger is Jen from Nanna’s Wisdom who shared My 5 Vital Stages of Blogging.  I have been through all of these in my couple years of blogging and I never really thought about it this way. What stage are you in? How long have you been blogging? Congrats Jen and feel free to display our featured blogger button on your sidebar or page.

Last week’s linkup was great! I love seeing this linkup grow and inspire others! My favorite posts this week included:

* Britt from Laugh Out Loud Mommy’s post Karaoke, Drums, And Four Boys…Christmas Reflections.  She totally just described our New Year’s Eve. I always say my hubby is like my 4th kid and the boys totally love karaoke and our Rock Band drums (we don’t have the real ones yet).

* Erlene from My Pinterventures post Holiday Decorations Storage Ideas. I’ve undertaken the 2015 Decluttering Challenge and this post motivated me to get our gift wrap reorganized. Our gift wrap container was busted so I cleaned out an old plastic round trash can and used that to store all our wrap. Small victories!

Congrats Britt and Erlene, feel free to grab the Featured Blogger button to share on your blogs or sidebars.

 

My Weekly Recap:

READING:

I’m so excited that The Poisonwood Bible Readalong for our ongoing Travel the World in Books Reading Challenge has begun! It is quite a story, so dramatic, emotional and rather dark. We’d love for you to join us to discuss this book so be sure to check out our Poisonwood Bible Readalong schedule and join in whenever you can. We’ll be having discussion questions posted weekly and a Twitter chat at the end of the month. Many ways you can discuss this book with us whether you are reading along with us or have read it before.

I also signed up for quite a few 2015 Reading and Fitness Challenges to help me focus on clearing out my Kindle and reading from the wonderful stack of books already on my bookshelves.

Next week, Bout of Books 12 is starting on Monday. I have yet to sign up but it’s one of my favorite readathons and they have a creative bunch of mini-challenges and fun Twitter chats. Are you joining in?

If it’s not working to grab the coding text, please just save the picture and add it, WordPress is giving me a very hard time getting coding right even when I copy/paste the coding that works!
