Messy Messy Fail - I had saved a few cute pumpkins from Halloween/Thanksgiving to harvest some seeds from. I moved them to the back deck so they would be close to the kitchen, making me more likely to remember them. I forgot about them - they are buried under snow and I don't know if I have the gumption to dig them out.Tidy Victory - Made some delicious and easy recipes for dinner this week including this one for instant pot clam chowder from 4 Sons 'R' Us!
Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party #411!
Third week of January already but we are still excited about a new year of sharing, linking, reading, Pinning and inspiration. For January, Linda from A Labour of Life is our hostess for the month of January, so let’s get started
Link Features for Happiness is Homemade 411
Welcome back!
It was an interesting week, a lot of self reflection. Bloggers sharing what they are working on and what their followers loved last year. I hope y'all know how hard it is to only pick 4 posts to highlight. Which is why I want to remind everyone, take a moment and search through. This is a space to get inspired and help each other out.
A Tablescape
I have found my groove and my feature routine so let's start with a tablescape. This week's feature caught my eye because I have been thinking hearts and flowers. Actually it was the napkin fold that caught me. What a creative heart napkin. Today the bright red heart caught my eye, A Rose Valentines table. Inspiration for the gal who loves to celebrate love. Debbee's Buzz really nailed this one.
A Tasty Mocktail, that's pretty too
Trying something new this week, check out this yummy looking mocktail from Everyday Savvy. This mocktail recipe is simple, easy to follow, and has just a few ingredients. Simply Juice Mixed Berry is a great base for this mocktail recipe. Great for all ages and truth be told I am thinking it also would make a great cocktail for me with a splash of rum or vodka!
Valentine's Cocoa Bombs
These easy Valentine’s Cocoa Bombs are a fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The cocoa bombs melt in hot water or milk and will burst into a hot chocolate in seconds! Really fun to watch. Raquel from Organized Island really caught my eye with this version of a Hot Chocolate bomb, and quite possibly has inspired me to try my hand at it.
DIY Lip Gloss
And along the crafty line how about this lip smacking lipgloss. Crazy thing it is made from Kool-aid and coconut oil, simple and easy. Plus perfect for a day of hearts to keep those lips smooth. The Socialite's Closet has a hit with this DIY.
Special Feature
And in a special back-to-back feature week, I could not let the fun Painted Mason Jars from Honey I'm Home pass by. There is just something about this quick and easy craft that speaks to me. Probably because it is quick and easy.
