Featured Bloggers

Each week my co-hosts and I will feature our favorite bloggers from the previous week’s linkup. Visit each of my co-hosts to see who they’ve featured too! This week’s Reader’s Choice for most viewed post was my co-host Echo from Domain of the Mad Mommy who shared Love, Hate and Autism. An honest and heartfelt look at what it’s like raising a child with high-functioning autism. A must read to gain understanding and empathy for these parents and kids.

Some of my favorite posts were:

Creative K Kids who shared Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars that kids can make for Mother’s Day. Yes, please! 

Coupon Diva who shared Organizing Your Affiliate Links. I love a good blogging tip and in an effort to monetize our blogs, it’s important to keep track of which links work for you. 

The Art of Why Not who a Super Easy Spring Umbrella Display for your front door. I love the tulips in this arrangement, they make me so happy.

My Weekly Recap

Reading:

I finished my reread of Shadow of the Wind. Oh, I so love the twists and turns at the end of this book. So good and still my favorite! I admit the second time I had trouble focusing in the middle but it pulled through as the action picks up and the mystery surrounding these characters deepens.

I started Diamond Head by  Cecily Wong for a TLC Book Tour, the cover is stunning and looking forward to this mysterious book taking place in China and Hawaii.

I just started Silkworm on the Kindle for my IRL book club. I haven’t read The Cuckoo’s Calling but I hope this works as a standalone book. I’m looking forward to seeing how J.K. Rowling approaches a thriller/mystery. 

Blogging:

Home:

It was a good week on the cooking front. I made these banana crepes and made a couple into Baymax from Big Hero 6 for my littlest.

We spent a lot of time working on the garden and I was trying to get toys and clothes ready to sell. Still amazed at how much stuff these 3 little boys have. Good grief!
