My Favorite Things Friday Link Party ~ #30
The weather here in Alpharetta, Ga has been
b-e-a-u-ti-ful yesterday & now today is starting off perfectly too
so needless I won't be on the computer much today either. It's supposed to storm
later so we want to get in as much sunshine & fresh air as we can. I mean it's February & was in the
70s yesterday! SO nice!
How's your weather? I don't know about you but I have Spring Fever
for sure! I'm going to make a Spring wreath soon but I just don't think I can top
my Spring wreath from last year(it was my first wreath ever). It turned out exactly as I envisioned
so I may do something in a completely different direction this year.
Did I mention I'm ready for Spring? ;)
You can check out the full tutorial HERE
and be sure to let me know what you think =D
Now let's see who made it into my
Stay At Home Nation Spotlight this week....
It All Started With Paint has some really great before & after redos like this entryway
The Moody Fashionista shared a really cute & simply way to spruce up your band aids
And I cannot get over these cute presidents pancakes from Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons
Wow so many great posts! If you were featured then grab a button(I only have the one for now) & post
it proudly!
Thank you all who linked up
& if you missed last weeks party, no worries because you can go ahead & link up this week!
All I ask is if you link up, please only link up "new" posts, &
"new" as in = new to my blog. It could be a year old and as long as it is new to my blog then go ahead link away! You don't have to follow me but it's the nice thing to do(especially if you have been to more than
1 of my parties) and please post my button (located at the top of my sidebar) somewhere on
your blog or post so that others can come party too!
Remember there is a new party every Friday!
Thank you in advance!
Much love

My Favorite Things Friday Link Party ~ #29 Real as Real Can Be....
I feel like the older I get, the more complicated life has gotten, & rightfully so
with 6 people growing together under one roof. It's like a crock pot brewing 6 separate
flavors, each bringing their own uniqueness to the dish. Sometimes you question how well everything will
blend together in the end result, but after 8 hours on low you sit down to a dish that is definitely a keeper.
Well that's how I am feeling today. Although I am using a crock pot as a metaphor,
I am sure you probably know what I am saying. I am not the first person
to have a teenager, or a 7 year old who has perfected eye rolling & always tries to have the final word, nor
am I the first person to have 2 little ones 15 months apart with a 2 year old who, without warning, can throw the mother of all tantrums with ear piercing shrieks that would put Mariah Carey to shame.
What I am trying to say is that it's a whole other ballgame when it is all happening under one roof.
I am not complaining, and these will be some of the things that we look back on when my children are grown & married, and possibly even with kids of their own,
and laugh.
I hope there are plenty of awesome memories in there too!
SOoooooooo with that being said, I know as a parent sometimes things pop up that are out
of your control & as a result cause you delay. This can be anything from a last minute poopy diaper that
causes you to leave late for an appointment, weather, a nap that runs over, or just the
time it takes to gather everything you need for leaving the house. Even as prepared as you
try to be, sometimes things happen that cause you delay. It's OK & hopefully people understand
as long as you keep them posted.
I know today is Saturday, and I'm posting My Favorite Things "Friday" Party but as I
mentioned above, sometimes things happen that are out of your control......
(see there was a point to my rambling thoughts). Our internet was down yesterday
for no apparent reason, I mean it was beautiful outside so maybe someone knocked it out. I'm not sure but
it is back to normal now & so it's time to party!
Just link up & have fun! Welcome to my party, please play nice & visit others too!
I would appreciate it if you post my button somewhere on your blog & help spread the word
about my party =D
I would appreciate it if you post my button somewhere on your blog & help spread the word

I hope to see you back next Friday too!

My Favorite Things Friday Link Party ~ #28 & Getting Organized Where to Begin?
Hello all,
I was in such horrible pain with my shoulder & my back yesterday that I didn't feel like getting on
the computer, so sorry for the delay but the party is here now!
First though, I wanted to share with you a great website I stumbled upon the other day
called FlyLady. She has given me the inspiration of where to begin with getting
my house organized. If you are like me (4 kids or 1) then you know how quickly
the house can get wrecked. I have been feeling like the house is taking over here lately.
I mean between the dishes in the sink, to the overflowing clothes in the laundry room, to
the massive amount of toys that need to be put in their places.
I pick up here & there, I try to vacuum the downstairs twice a day, and start a load of clothes, help with homework, empty the dishes, & start dinner, then it's bath time, then there are clothes to fold...
I am just all over the place
& I feel like with as much as I get done each day, I feel that I can never get
caught up.
BUT
today is different, TODAY is the day I get back on track!
So let's start to Simplify 2012 together with the kitchen!
You should read the post about starting with a clean sink & why.
You just have to make it a priority & don't let it get the best of you!
Anyways I have a nice clean sink, all the counters are clean & you can see them lol,
everything is wiped down & disinfected (which makes a germ-a-phobe like me feel at ease)
& I am making an announcement tonight that all dirty dishes go straight into the dishwasher after a
quick rinse. This way the sink is always ready for when I need to prep for dinner.
I feel SO much better already & motivated to move onto the next step.
Much Love
~Iffy~
Alright so onto the par-tay this week!
I would LOVE for you to link up any Valentines Day projects
or recipes, but you can link up whatever you link
just make sure you haven't posted it here before.
(People don't like to see the same posts over & over- no offense)
Grab my button & post it somewhere on your blog please so others know
there is a party going on over here =D

My Favorite Things Friday Link Party ~ #27 & Blogging Advice 101
So I am realizing (after almost a year of blogging) that
*it's OK not to post something every single day(not saying I have),
* it's time to really start opening up on here & letting down my walls as a blogger,
*if I have a stressful week and can't find any free time to craft or post that my readers will
forgive me, after all most of you are moms and/or fellow bloggers & you understand,
*& that I want to have followers that like & read my blog for what I post about,
and I will no longer require it for giveaway entries.
OK, thank you for all who linked up last week!
Look at me favs
Check out what my new friend Donna from Loopy Loop Creationsmade, so simple
I love bringing nature inside & here's how to use it for Vday from Making Over The Martins
This lovely clutch comes from Sew Fantastic, & she says it's a great
beginners project. So I will totally try it out just as soon as I get my sewing
machine out of the box & figure out how the thing works ;D
I LOVE everything about this scrabble tile! Wow so pretty!
Artsy Va Va shows us how
& ever wonder how to make you're own baker's twine?
Vanessa over at Nifty Thrifty Things has the answer.
Great posts this week! I am excited to see what you link up this week! If you
have been featured in my Stay At Home Nation Spotlight then grab yourself my button
(located at the top of my sidebar) & post it proudly because you earned it!
Now let's have fun & link up below. All I ask is that you visit at least 2 other links
this week & leave them a comment letting them know you saw them at my party (please & thank you)!
Have fun & lookout for the Redken review & giveaway soon
(sorry it was delayed waiting on some final details regarding the post)
I may skip onto the next giveaway item. . .
you will have to wait & see.

My Favorite Things Friday Link Party ~ #23 Quick & Easy Gift for Any Occasion
Sorry for the delay, but it's been a pretty bad day today, 3 MRIs and a long story
but the show(or blog) must go on right?
The short version is that basically my neurologist is trying to find out why since October I have a sharp pain in my left shoulder joint every time I take a deep breath. I'm alright though, yesterday was just one of those days. Which makes it even more stressful being so close to the holidays.
I wanted to share with you a very easy, very relaxing, & very inexpensive bath salts idea that you can
whip up for a last minute gift for any occasion really.
I first made these last year as gifts to all the women in the family, as a nice little gift
of relaxation in a jar. You know after all the many hours we all
spend shopping, cooking, wrapping gifts, baking cookies,
decorating & as well as all the day to day things that still must be taken care of.
I came across this from Smashed Peas and Carrots but I altered it
of course, because that's what I do ;) I don't have the tutorial pictures since
I made these last year (before I was a blogger).
Here's what I did I grabbed a large bag of Epsom Salt on sale from
RiteAid & I ordered some essential oils from ebay in the scents I wanted.
I first put the Epsom salt into 4 bowls & mixed in several drops of the oils I wanted into each bowl.
You can adjust the strength to your liking or mix scents but remember
you cannot take away once you add, so add a little at a time.
Once you have the scents you desire you can add a little food coloring if
you like.
I used peppermint oil in 2 of my bowls & colored one with red to make pink & left the other alone,
and then I scented another bowl lavender coloring it purple & the last I added vanilla
and left that one white.
You then want to let the oils & coloring dry so you can carefully pour your
salts onto wax paper lined plates and let dry a couple of hours. Stir them around
every hour or so until they are pretty dry(timing depends on how much oil &
color you added).
While they are drying, you can make your cute jars. The blog above has a great
tutorial for this(I didn't add a spoon but did add a ribbon)
Once everything is dry, you are ready to add the salts to your jars(I used 8oz)
You can either spoon them in, or gather your waxed paper & use it as
a funnel. I alternated the colors in my peppermint jars so it resembled a candy cane =D
In my other jars I did a vanilla lavender mix, both were super yummy smelling.
You can even add a tag that says add a few tablespoons to a warm bath &
ENJOY!
This would even be a great gift for teachers or neighbors.

My Favorite Things Friday Link Party ~ #21 Homemade Gifts
So last year(before I started blogging) I made some homemade Christmas gifts
with the children to give as gifts. It was just something I wanted to
try my hand at. Since we did not have any family traditions of our own yet,
I decided in 2009 that each year the kiddies would give a handmade something
(we did ornaments the past 2 years) to the grandparents
& of course we made some for our tree too.
I will post pictures of them soon as we are decorating the tree this weekend.
So last year I thought that in addition to the ornaments that we would make gifts as well.
As I said it was before I became a blogger, so I did not take pictures but we made
soap(if we do it again I will post a tutorial) this was SOOOO easy & FuN!
We also made scented & colored bath salts - Awesome!
And in a large Mason Jar, we layered the ingredients of a yummy cookie recipe
with the directions on the tag.
So here's what I'm thinking of making for this year
Perhaps Homemade Butterfingers? Gluesticks has a tutorial.
Maybe this adorable Melted Snowman ornament by The Ivy Cottage
Or some cute Holiday Magnets similar to these from Life on Brixton Lane
Also, I am not the best at getting pictures to everyone in the family, so at the
end of the year I make a photo book that recaps
that year and give that as well.
So what are you making (or have made in the past) to give as gifts?
I can't wait to see!
Please don't link up something you already linked up on
Stay At Home Nation, because I really like seeing new ideas from you all!
Thank you for linking up & if you like my blog & don't follow me already,
now is a great time to start. Plus if you comment below letting me know
you follow then I will follow you back! It's a win-win =D
Speaking of win, I have a giveaway posting tomorrow so check that out to!
Have a great weekend!

My Favorite Things Friday Link Party ~ #19
Welcome, welcome. Another week coming
to an end, so I hope you all had a wonderful one!
I, personally am very happy the weekend is here but it is getting pretty chilly all of a sudden.
I wanted to share some great fall ideas with you in this week's

so stay warm & enjoy!
Here is a yummy Pot Roast Recipe you should try by yours truly
Learn how to make beautiful wreaths like these from AliLilly with
this Felt Flower Tutorial
I know my hands get so red & rough on the tops of my knuckles from the cold, probably
from all of the hand washing. Honestly I have tried so many lotions that didn't help so I am thrilled to
try this recipe for Homemade Lip Balm & Moisturizer from
This Chick Cooks
Paper & Pigtails has a mouthwatering recipe for
And know the kids would love Breakfast Cookies from

Now it's time to party, please no links from Halloween this week as
we are well into November now. Let's try to keep it
to fall, winter, Thanksgiving, & Christmas items =D
Oh & pretty please don't link up something you already linked up on
Stay At Home Nation, because I really like seeing new ideas from you all!
Thank you for linking up & if you like my blog & don't follow me already,
now is a great time to start. Plus if you comment below letting me know
you follow then I will follow you back! It's a win-win =D
Speaking of win, I always have cool giveaways going on so check em out too!
Much Love

Sorry for the delay of this morning's party, but I've been down

Not sure what to do with all of that Halloween candy? Well

My Favorite Things Friday Link Party ~ #17
Hey there! I hope you are having a wonderful week! I know I am loving
the weather we've been having here lately.
As you can see I have been busy here at Stay At Home Nation.
In fact, I had a very active 9 month old who didn't want
to settle down tonight for Mama either, so I am working on my spotlights as I type.
My Favorite Things Friday Party is underway however, so link up.
If you want a quick & yummy dessert, you've gotta try my Hidden S'mores Indoors
OK so this week I am spotlighting from My Favorite Things Friday Party #16 ,
as well as My Favorite Things Halloween Party too. Which may I add is going on
until October 31, you can link up
