Monday Blog Hoppin'!

I'm so excited to be the Spotlight/Guest Host of the Week for the Making Friends Monday Blog Hop! If you are new here, please enter for one of seven prizes in the I love my mommy blog hop here on my site, then you can enter over 70 other giveaways in the hop!  You can find recipes here, like my Easy-Peasy BBQ Chicken Pizza , and crafts, too,  like this Dollar Store Dessert Stand!  Hope you will come back and check out what's new here in Atlanta! Thanks for stopping by!

Enter the I love my mommy giveaway & hop away for more prizes!!

I am so very excited to be participating in a fun Mother's Day Blog Hop giveaway, I Love My Mommy,  starting May 5th!  There are so many blogs participating, and you can use the list at the bottom of this post to hop to and enter them all! 

Here are the prizes I'm offering.  There will be 7 winners in all!

5 winners will each win a coupon for a free bottle of Purex Complete Detergent with Zout - it's amazing! Busy moms can spend less time doing laundry and more time doing things they want! With Zout in the detergent, there is no need to pretreat stains! I've had great luck getting tough stains out using this detergent over the last few weeks!  (Winners 1 - 5 will each receive a coupon as their prize)  Each coupon is valued at $7.50.

2 winners will each receive a bar of my Heartstrings Homemade Moisturizing Glycerin Peppermint Soap plus a Relaxing Organic Lavender Sachet, both made by me!  (Winners 6 & 7 will each receive one soap/sachet combination).  Each of these prizes  is valued at $7.  (you can see a picture of these at my Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeartstringsHomemade.)

Mandatory Entries:
Must do both of these! I will verify after random.org pulls winning comments! (Please leave separate comments for each entry you complete, & please include your email address in each entry so I can easily contact you if you're one of my 7 winners!)

• Go to Heartstrings Homemade on Etsy & like my store using either the Facebook button or the Favorite Button for Etsy. (both found under Actions in left sidebar on that page). Then leave a comment below telling me you did so, and your FB or Etsy account name so I can verify!

Only three more shopping days 'til Christmas....are y'all ready?!

And now it's Wednesday ~ here's today's hop:


(and down to only two shopping days!)

Snowy day, and another blog hop!

But...since we live in Georgia, the flurries were lovely but didn't stick!  We have had the craziest winds today, up to 30 mph - we were under a wind advisory!!  The temperatures will be in the teens when we wake up in the morning.  I'm kind of hoping that the schools will close for the cold/wind.  Hey, it's happened before!!

Here's the Monday hop I'm linking up to...



Hope y'all are staying warm, have a great Monday!!

It's the weekend!!

And I couldn't be happier! My kids are home, the candles are lit, the tree is shimmery and lovely, and life is good!  I have my favorite winter blend simmering on the stove for adding moisture to the air & scent to the house - water with liberal dashes of nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon.  It's amazing!  Our house gets very dry in the winter and we get chapped lips, dry skin, etc.  So this is a daily thing for me.  I really love the fragrance it gives our home, very welcoming, home-y and comforting. 

Here's the first weekend hop I'm linking up to.  You can link your GFC, Twitter, Facebook and more! 



Here's blog hop # 2 for the weekend!




 And here is # 3 Blog Hop ~ Swingin' By Sunday!
Y'all have a blessed weekend!!
