welcome party wednesday link-up #16

Hello 2014!!! Ladies, can you believe it’s a new year already? I always tell myself I am going to be on top of the holidays, but somehow it just didn’t happen. In fact, this year was the worst yet… we were still shopping on December 23rd! So needless to say, I took a nice little blogging break to eek out every last second of Christmas and family celebrations that I could. (Oh, and my computer completely crashed… again!)

So this Welcome Party Wednesday Link-Up is here to kick off a new year, a new season, and perhaps some New Year’s resolutions!

With that being said, a big BIG THANK YOU goes to all the wonderful bloggers that linked up for the great posts you’ve shared here! To all my new blogging friends… WELCOME! I’m so excited to have you share with us!

So… what is the Welcome Party Wednesday Link-Up? It’s a place where other fantastic bloggers can come share fun and fresh new ways to makeover your heart and home! In other words… anything that makes family life easier or more fun is what the link-up is all about! Each week I’ll pick 3 must read posts from the previous week’s link-up for you to enjoy!

Posts must be family friendly and can include the topics of…

Mothering
Kid’s activities and crafts
Family fun acitivities
Organizing
Decorating
DIY home projects
Marriage
Homemaking
Recipes
Crafts

(Please do not link giveaways, other link ups, and paid product reviews. I reserve the right to delete any links that do not adhere to this requirement.)

I love that this checklist helps you break general goals down into specific achievable goals! Making your resolution “I want to list” a goal with smaller attainable goals will equal success!
