Happiness is Homemade Link Party #386

Messy Messy Fail - I have really fallen off the workout train since school ended.  Being 6 months pregnant combined with poor sleep and overall tiredness makes for a really easy way to pass on working out every day.  

Tidy Victory - Lots of gardening getting rid of unnecessary things around the house has been happening which is great!  For tax purposes, I used to make spreadsheets for ALL of our donations which took time, but since that's no longer necessary us with new laws, I just take items whenever.  So much easier!



Welcome to our weekly Happiness is Homemade Link Party where bloggers come together to share their latest and their greatest posts with you. 

Every week you will discover a delightful assortment of creative ideas that you will love! At our party you will find the best recipes, crafts, do-it-yourself projects, home décor ideas, fashions and family fun.

Hey all, It's Linda from A Labour of Life and it's my Turn to browse through and pick my favourites. August is all about end of summer fun, back to school planning and yes summer relaxation.

Thank you so much for coming by this week for our party. We can hardly wait to find out what you have come by to share with us this week but, first, let’s take a look at our features from last week’s party!

Fun Features This Week



My first feature will surprise no one, lol. Yep - a fun tablescape from Dining Delight I was excited to set a table that featured a wonderful cake. "When you set the table just for fun like I do, it is great to be able to include a food item that doesn't have to be prepared in advance and won't melt in the sun and this realistic faux cake is perfect for that!"

Keeping with the Lemon theme how adorable is this lemon slice crochet pillow from Sew Crafty Crochet. "today I'm sharing a Lemon Slice Pillow that I also made for the porch. I was inspired by this Pin of A Crafty Concept's Crochet Lemon Pillow".

I have been hooked on Smoothies this summer so my next selection was an obvious choice. Comfort Spring Station shared this amazing Pineapple Smoothie recipe."Today’s recipe is an easy, quick drink made from 4 ingredients: frozen pineapple, frozen banana, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. I find that the combination is plenty sweet, but if you desire more, add a teaspoon of honey."

Sticking to my apparent Yellow Theme this week is a tasty Banana Pudding Cheesecake from Organized Island."This Banana Pudding Cheesecake has a simple homemade crust paired with a creamy and delicious cheesecake filling. This simple cheesecake dessert takes less than an hour of time to make"

Common Ground has taken us on a fun House Tour. Not sure why but I adore posts giving me a glimpse into how everyone lives. "this year I've been thankful for having a home and outside spaces that have been fun to decorate with flowers and plantings, to relax in, and basically get back to "living life".".

Jumping off the yellow theme I really had to share this beautiful wreath from Life as a LEO Wife.
