Some of my favorite posts that I’m choosing to feature are:
My friend Shannon from Baxter’s Bees gives us wonderful soap and honey from her beehives but also makes a fantastic habanero jelly. This recipe for Habanero Pineapple Gold Jelly from Best of Long Island and Central Florida sounds wonderful and reminds me of the yummy jelly Shannon makes. I’ll have to try and make this one for myself.
This Love Potion cocktail from Tornadough Alli looks festive, tasty and refreshing, I think my bartender Superhubby needs to make me one of these on a date night/diet cheat day!
With Rheumatoid Arthritis, I sometimes have to put a hold on my blogging to-do list and just focus on self care. It happened a few days in a row this week. If I’m too fatigued or in pain, all I can do is color, read or watch TV. This article Self Care and Blogging from Whitney James reminds us that it’s ok to take a break because “You can’t serve others if you neglect yourself.” So true, well said Whitney.

My Weekly Recap
Reading:
Once I finished the productivity books, I started listening to The Night Circus on audiobook. I was beyond stoked when I realized the narrator’s voice was the narrator from Pushing Daisies, one of my oldest son’s and my favorite TV shows. Jim Dale has a fantastic voice that lends itself perfectly to the mystery and magic of this tale. Even though it’s available from the library on my Kindle, I really just want to keep listening to him tell the story. So far I love the story and the writing too, The Night Circus is on track for being one of my favorites!
Christmas, Actually is a short story collection about well, Christmas. Reading for a review and love getting in the holiday spirit early. Maybe this will help me start my Christmas shopping so I’m not waiting till the last minute.

Thank you so much for the great opportunity, Tanya.
Thank you for featuring me and my little blog as a feature blogger this week! I’m so excited and honored! You have been a great help for me with this new adventure. You comment on my post and your link ups have been great for traffic! Thank you again!!

Do you know I bought the Night Circus when it released and still haven’t read it. I am off to read some of the links you shared. As something RA I understand how daily things, even things you enjoy can be hard to do. I have learned to put my health first the hard way.
Oh I love it, I bet you would too Kim! I appreciate the support, it makes me sad that others have to endure RA too but it is comforting to know I’m not alone and someone understands. Thanks for the support and hosting Sunday Post and the Blog Ahead Challenge!
Oh my goodness, WOW! Thank you for picking me as one of the features this week!! :)))))
I hope you have a great week and you take some more time to take care of yourself. XOXO
The readers clicks determine the Featured Bloggers in the collagr, the readers have spoken and it was well earned Mrs. AOK! Thanks for your concern. The weekend was both rough and wonderful. Superhubby and I got a date so that always helps us unwind and relax a little. Back to another busy week, I’m done with this rain!
Thanks for hosting another fabulous party!
You’re very welcome Helen, thanks for linking up with us!
Hi Tanya, thanks so much for the features and for hosting!
Thanks for hosting the party:-)
You’re welcome Sherry, thanks for linking up your delicious recipes with us. Have a great week!
I’m sorry your RA has given you difficulty this week. Looks like you have some good books to read while you rest. Have a good week.
Thanks Rachel, always love to hear from you. Hope this rain ends soon so we can get back to normal.
I would like to say hello to all the new cohost. Some of them, I had connected with through other linkups or from #SITSBlogging chat on Saturday mornings. Glad all of you are here to support us.
