Here are the Featured posts from last week!

Debbie chose Five things I would rather do than fold laundry from The Brown Girl with Long Hair. "I love this post because I can relate completely. It seems laundry is never ending and I want to run away and do anything but look at it or think about it."

Angie chose Homestead Tips on Tuesday: Heed the Frost Date from The (mis)Adventures of a "Born Again" Farm Girl. "I have had to learn the hard way by not heeding the Frost Date & losing tender seedlings. If you are a gardener this date is essential for successful crops."

Cindy chose The Day My Husband Was Drafted into the NFL from The Brown Girl with Long Hair. "I am a football fan and we have watched the draft for years. I found it interesting to read the story from someone who has been there. I can't imagine the emotions and stress of having your career path being defined in such a way."

Carolyn chose Jewelry Storage and Organization from Woods of Bell Trees. "I thought it was a really creative, lovely way to store your jewelry."

Ranjani chose Cherry Lemonade Jello Popsicles from Organzier by Day. "I found this simple yet refreshing. It is definitely on my to-do list for this summer now.Cant wait to have a summer party with these cute lil popsicles."

Jillian chose DIY Wood Photography Background from Sew Crafty Cat. "I chose this post because it is a brilliant idea for those of us who get involved in any sort of crafts that need pictures. Plus, it's not something I've seen done before."

Karen also chose DIY Wood Photography Background from Satisfaction through Christ. "I love this project, it's so simple yet so effective as a background. I am in need of something like this, so it's given me food for thought."

April chose Self-fulfilling Prophecy from Blossom Family. "Being a parent, can often drive you crazy. Once the child starts behaving in a certain way, you start to attribute that trait to them (i.e., he often doesn't listen, therefore he's a "bad listener"). But you know what, Marwa tells us about how we can change how we see it and how it can change them too."

Stacey chose Fruit Pudding Salad from Mommy on Demand. "This looks absolutely delicious! I am always looking for cool treats to combat the hot summer months. I will definitely be adding this to my recipe list! Thanks for sharing!"

Rachel chose The Little Moments - Transforming Ordinary Moments Into Unforgettable Memories from Satisfaction through Christ. "I love her perspective and how she takes a chore and changes it into a cherished moment. I enjoyed reading her story because it reminded me how much I treasure those little moments with my son."

Katie chose DIY Map Art from Satisfaction through Christ. "I love the colors she used for the map and frame, and the stenciled burlap makes a great background! I also LOVE maps, and have yet to decorate with them (but that just might change soon, as Abby has my DIY mind going now). I think it would also be fun to paint your home state in an accent color, too! Great project!"

Rhonda chose My Child’s Education Is Not Your Fall Back Degree from British Mum USA. "A mother discusses her displeasure of our educational system, and the fact that is seen by many as a fall back career if they're unsuccessful in their chosen occupation."

Natasha chose Time Management for Bloggers Part 1-Writing from Mom Maven. "I have been working on managing my time better everyday. With all of the things that I'm juggling, time management is an important factor for me. Great post!"

The post with the most clicks is Free 20 Page Blog Planner Printable Pack from The Organized Dream.
