This past weekend we had a visit from 3 of our grandchildren (along with their parents, of course.) Having little ones in the house sure makes life fun! We went hiking and discovering new sights, we enjoyed a nice Italian dinner together and baked the most delicious chocolate cupcakes, too. I hope your weekend was as fun as mine! The most-viewed post in last week’s blog hop was A Visit to Tim Horton’s. I’ve been, have you?

This week my featured posts are:
- How do You Survive the Empty Nest? because my own chicks will be flying the coop one by one in the coming months and years!
- How to Make Tassels because I love little projects that are quick, easy and impressive!
- 10 Ways to Reuse Plastic Takeout Containers because I love repurposing useful items!
Now, It’s Time for This Week’s Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop!
