Sundays at Home – A Link Party

Do you feel like the weeks go by faster during the summer? I swear it was just Memorial Day! My kids have already been out of school for almost a month – where has the time gone?!

It will be so nice when my yard is done – I will finally feel like summer has started in earnest. Hope you’re having a fun summery weekend 🙂 read more

Sundays at Home – A Link Party

Hi there and Happy Sunday! Hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend and are experiencing a relaxing, rejuvenating day. I know I am! If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know that we are in the midst of a backyard remodel. We are completely redoing the hardscape, pool, and landscaping and it has involved a whole week of dust, noise, and jackhammering. Oh, and also a broken water pipe due to said jackhammering! So needless to say, as much as I want this to go quickly and have my yard back, I am so happy that there is no work being done today! read more

Sundays at Home – A Link Party

This weekend we were at my nephew’s graduation. There is just nothing like a high school graduation! The kids are so happy and excited. The parents are full of pride. And the promise of a young life and all that lies ahead is such a wonderful thing to see! I always shed some tears and it makes me hopeful for the generation ahead just seeing all their hard work, pride and smiling faces… read more

Sundays at Home – A Link Party

Hi friends and welcome to another week of our link party, Sundays at Home! It’s been quite a crazy week for me, so I’m thrilled to be having three days to relax with my family and spend some time with friends! I also have to look for a new car (ugh…) but that shouldn’t dampen the fact that school is out and there won’t be any waking at 6:00a to make lunches for at least a little while! 😉 read more

Sundays at Home – A Link Party

Did you watch the Royal Wedding? I must admit, I love this kind of thing! I taped it as it was too early on the West Coast, but I spent the whole morning being anxious to sit down and actually take it all in! I remember my mom waking me to watch Princess Diana get married, and I had so much fun watching Kate and William’s with my daughter. And though I love the fairytale aspect (who doesn’t?), this couple in particular are more than that to me. I think the reason everyone seems to love them is their very modern romance. Not only are they equals who seem to be very much in love, but she is the first person of mixed race to be accepted into the royal family. She’s also the first American, the first divorcée. She represents a new kind of inclusion, which in our too often hatred-filled world, is a wonderful thing to see. And they give back. They use their platforms, both together, and separately before they met, to bring awareness to several different causes and charities. Meghan’s wish to work to empower girls and women is one especially close to my heart. So I for one am rooting for them! I look forward to seeing them do great things together. I can’t think of two better role models for the young generation… royal or not.

And now onto the party! Here’s what Kelly, Jennifer, Susan, Kristy, Julie & I have been up to this week…
