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 we will select bloggers to feature, our most popular and favorite posts to share with you. This week we had a 5-way tie for Featured Bloggers! These are some great posts, you all chose them well. Grab the Featured Blogger button to display on your post’s page or sidebar.
Book Babble’s Sunday Post where she shares books she read, books she got and booktubes too from this week.
Being Fibro Mom’s Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness where Brandi tells us what it is, how to prevent it and 5 ways to treat it. A must read for those who want to be physically active especially with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia.
Frugally Blonde’s What to Buy in February. I never know what produce is in season in the winter so this list is particularly helpful.
Melissa Kaylene’s 25 Scrumptious Smoothies . Whether you’re drinking smoothies for nutrition or a treat, these are some great ideas in here to pin or bookmark. I have my eye on the Salted Caramel Cookie Dough and the mango smoothies, just sayin.
Nanna Wisdom’s Top 10 Plugins for New Bloggers. Though I’ve been blogging for 3 years now, some of these are new to me. Great list with a few of my must-have plugins too.
My Weekly Recap:
READING:
I finished The Wife, The Maid and the Mistress by Ariel Lawhon which I won from a SheReads giveaway for my book club. Set in the 1930’s, a historical fiction about a judge who disappears and the stories of the women in his life. I enjoyed this one and the ending caught me by surprise. I love when stories aren’t predictable and I’m really curious now to look up articles on these characters.
I am reading Hello from the Gillespies on my Kindle. It’s a family drama set in Australia with a couple whose marriage is on the rocks and their four dysfunctional kids. The drama is getting more intense and hopefully it changes tone soon so that I don’t give up on it. I’m not emotionally attached to any of the characters yet so not sure I care yet to finish.
I won The Last Breath by Kimberly Belle from a Deep South Magazine Twitter chat a couple months ago. I’m on the blog tour for it so I’ll be reading and sharing my review with you in a couple weeks. Stay tuned, this story about a girl finding out what really happened to her parents sounds mysterious and so good. I’ve heard great reviews about it and hoping I enjoy it as much.
BLOGGING:
In case you missed it, here’s what I blogged about this past week:
- [1 Feb] Foodie February Linkup and Reading Goals
- [2 Feb] NC Blogger Network Feature & Menu Plan Monday – Feb. 2, 2015
- [3 Feb] Top 10 Young Adult Books I Want to Read
- [4 Feb] Throwback Thursday Linkup {28}
- [6 Feb] Be Our Guest Fridays {17}: Journey through Chronic Pain by I’m Lost in Books

I finished up the Pinning Perfect- a Pinterest ecourse (affiliate link) and I have been loving making pinworthy images in Picmonkey. I have lots to do and will be making it one of my February goals to buckle down and make some of my old posts more pinworthy! I’m having trouble keeping up with posting new content and working on my massive to do list to get my blog more organized. How do you manage writing content and doing all the behind-the-scenes work? My free blog planner has been helping with getting all my ideas down and in one place but I need time to execute.

HI,
You blog a lot. I blogged a lot too. I think I may go down from 5 times a week to 4 times a week. Literature promotion–some great ideas here. Thank you for coming to the Inspire Me Monday Linky Party.

I absolutely loved The Wife, The Maid, and The Mistress and did exactly what you did upon finishing the book….research the real crime and people surrounding it! The mobster (I can’t remember his name) was quite a character in real life!
Thanks for hosting this lovely linkup 🙂
I’ll have to check out What To Buy. I love Starfruit and they are hard to find. One week they have them and the next they don’t. I’m pretty sure it’s a winter fruit here.
The Last Breath sounds like a good one. Looking forward to your review.
Wow, a post almost every single day this week! You are turning into Super Blogger, Tanya!
Looks like a great bunch of links this week – going to check them out.

Hi Tanya, long time no “see”! I am recovering from hip replacement surgery (I linked up a post about that) and just getting back into the swing of things. This morning will be dedicated to visiting the posts linked up here. Thanks for hosting and I’m glad to be part of the Small Victories Linkup once again!
Jen
All linked up! Great features this week!
I really enjoyed The Wife, The Maid and the Mistress. It was so good. Hello From the Gillespies is on my TBR and has been there for far too long. It’s time I picked it up. Have a great week!
I know what you are saying about doing all the blog work. I have so much work to do with my blogging pages, and I think 404’s, but have no time!!
Well I am glad i’m not the only one. How do people with more than one blog do it. You just reminded me (again), I have not posted my February goals. Eek!
So many encouraging posts = 5 featured bloggers! I’m excited to read the posts linked up this week. Thanks again for hosting.
Tanya what a surprise to see I have featured, so now I have your button on my post. Thanks as always for your link up!
You’re welcome! My readers and I love what you share!!!
Thank you for another awesome link-up!
You’re welcome. Always glad to have you join us!
