I’m so happy! Thanks to help from Jenn at …so this is love…, I made my own Blog Badge! With a Linky Link!
Inn’t she purty?
“What’s the Word? Wednesdays” is a linky that allows other bloggers to share whatever is on their minds that they want to talk about. Think of it as a virtual coffee date with some great friends. What’s going on in your world? Tell us all about it!
My first link-up/blog hop will start this Wednesday, so as soon as you see the post, go ahead and spill your guts! Link those posts, write those stories, tell the world!
Some weeks I might have a theme, some weeks, notsomuch. Every now and then I might even run a contest for the best comments/links. Each week’s linky will be open from Wednesday morning thru the following Tuesday, so there will be plenty of time to share your stuff!
My little blog is growing up and getting social. *Sniff, sniff. I’m so proud of you, Frankly.
And Frankly, My Dear… that’s all she wrote!

Every Friday, Tidy Mom lets other bloggers link up their prize of the week: a recipe, a photograph, an idea… pretty much anything that says, yeah, “I’m lovin’ it!”
I love looking at the variety of things that others love. From family to quotes to crafts to food to vacations… there’s so much beauty worth finding in the world around us.
So I thought I’d give it a try and join in.
But today isn’t Friday, you say? And you are oh-so-correct. So here’s another little beauty about Tidy Mom: this Lovin’ It linky is a giveaway. A giveaway! And we all know how crazy I am for giveaways, right?!
For my chance to win a 40-piece table setting from Mikasa, I’m linking up what I love! Let me start by saying, I really love the Mikasa dishes and if I win, I’m going for the Italian Countryside pattern. I know, you’re rolling your eyes. Like there was any chance for the other choices once anything Italian was thrown into the mix. Fuggetaboutit!
The hard part for me, honestly, is to choose just one subject. In the past few weeks, I’ve starting some great yard work and planting, tried some new recipes, taken awesome photos… I’ve also seen so many great things out in the world. I’m watching my friend turn their property into a farm! Now who doesn’t love that kind of project? There’s a lot on the news to pay attention to. Our town just got a new Hobby Lobby ~ now that’s total love right there, folks!
But let’s be real.
Not in any sense of self-promotion, but strictly speaking out of ROCKSTAR status, I’m mostly in love with The Unemployment Cookbook from New Inklings Press.
This baby has taken up so much of my past year, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. To finally have it published is a feeling of gratitude toward everyone who helped me through, from tasting recipes to layout design to proofreading to sharing…. from A to Z, the completion of this project is a full circle. I can’t thank you all enough. And for that, for your involvement, I’m Lovin’ It.

My mind’s a blank. Not really. Actually, it’s quite full. But it’s not blog post material. It’s just… life.
So I don’t know what to write here today for you to read tomorrow.
And I’m too tired to pretend.
It’s a good tired; a very good tired. But it’s tired nonetheless.
So this is me, getting my daily blog on; without putting you through another dull reading of nonsensical self-promoting gunk.
Go. Be free. Enjoy your day!

Have you heard about Epiphanie Camera Bags? No, you say? But you have a camera. Your camera needs a bag. And it really should be Epiphanie. I discovered them about six months ago and have been drooling ever since to land myself a Lyric in Mustard.
I literally dreamt of this bag a few years ago, before I knew it existed. I’ve been trying to find one ever since. Imagine my pure joy when I found Epiphanie!
So here I am, participating in their April Picture It contest in hopes of winning. This month’s theme is RAIN. And this is my contribution.
I call it
Waiting.
