This has been such a busy week! Although it has been fun and somewhat productive, I am glad to see it end and a new week begin.
We have some fun plans for the weekend that I am really looking forward to. Tonight I am going to a decoupage class at our Arts and Crafts Center and tomorrow is our batallion’s Easter Party. I’m excited that the Easter season is finally upon us.
It snowed in Baumholder this week, hopefully for the last time this year. I’m ready for some warmer weather!
On Fridays I’m going to begin featuring some links to some sites or posts that caught my attention throughout the week. I’ve seen some other bloggers do this and I really like the idea. I’m trying to come up with a better way to save links for this during the week. If you have any advice or tips on this, please share!
My blogging friend, Crystal, from Life At the Circus is celebrating her one year blogging annivesary today. She even has a completely new, very cute new blog design that I really love. And she is having a giveaway of a $10 Starbucks gift card.
My husband, an Army Chaplain currently deployed to Iraq, is doing a series within his series “Stuff Soldiers Like” of gifts for spiritual encouragement. He is also taking any questions you may have about being deployed to Iraq.
I’ve had a great time this week visiting new blogs through 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party. I’ve received many comments on my party post and taken time to comment on many other blogs as well. Mom’s Blog Resource has a great post on Leaving Comments – Some Dos and Don’ts .
My new favorite craft blog is No Time for Flashcards. The crafts here are so cute and very doable!!
And Cooking Tip of the Day has some of the most delicious looking recipes I’ve seen! She did a great feature this week on waffles…yumm!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for the shout out Monica! And I can’t wait to click over and read this week’s post from your hubby. I have been very excited about this series of his. I am behind on my blog reading due to the new layout design.

Monica, sounds like you want to do what I’ve seen called a ’roundup post.’ I don’t blog, but am studying it off & on and found this article on Side Hustle Blogging (by the guy who does Frugal Dad). Some of the comments have tips on how to do this that aren’t mentioned in the article. http://sidehustleblogging.com/three-tools-to-help-create-roundup-posts/ Sorry, don’t know how to make the names of the 2 blogs I mentioned appear as links in my comment or I’d’ve done it 😉 Hope this helps.
