It’s mid-may and we are looking forward to summer with anticipation of all it will bring. I am making plans for visitors, short trips and long trips. The kids’ shopping list for camp is getting longer each day and I will be seeing grandchildren – hooray! Planning for the upcoming season is occupying my days, how are you spending yours? Last week’s Encouraging Hearts & Home post with the most views was How to Make Gift Bags from Old Books.
My featured posts this week are:
- Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream because this recipe took me straight back to my childhood!
- Magnesium Oil Benefits, Uses and DIY Spray Recipe because I’ve recently been learning about the importance of magnesium.
- Seeking Happiness for Others because I needed this reminder as I easily become self-centered.
Now, It’s Time for This Week’s Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop!
