Welcome to the party. Can you believe that this is the last party in July? Where has this month gone? The weather has cooled down to 89 which is a nice change from the high 90s. We are almost done painting the house. I am hoping to get some flowers planted tomorrow before it rains. What are your plans for Sunday?

Is it a hot summer or what? We are always quite warm here in Florida but hot temps are sweeping across the country. Even Boston is experiencing high temps. It is hard to think of working outside with this weather. I can't seem to get the energy to do any projects that involve being outside. Are you lucky enough to have cool weather or are you dealing with high temps too?

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Link Party!

So delighted that you have stopped by. My weekend is off to a crazy start. We are having a new patio put in so we had to relocate the sprinkler system and of course the pipes are up against the wall where they will dig. We worked all day getting the pipes out and tapped off. Not what I really had on my list. What do you have planned for this weekend?

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Hope you are having a lovely weekend. it is still hot here but we had some rain today that cooled things off a little. We were able to work on painting the out side of the house before it got too hot. Do you have any summer house projects planned?

This month we have a new hostess, so be sure to check out her comments below.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Summer is officially here and Florida has certainly feels like summer, hot and steamy. Today was 95 with a heat index of 107. Now that is hot. We are off with a bang! Yikes! Is it summer where you are?
Check out the message from this months hostess:

Hello and welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party 276. We've made it through Father's Day and the summer solstice. Our lovely spring and early June turned into a hot, humid mess this week. It was a good time to spend the afternoons inside scrolling through all the wonderful ideas everyone has shared. My older daughter and granddaughters arrived on Wednesday, my son and son~in~law flew in for the weekend on Friday, so we have had a full house, lots of wet beach towels, bowls of cereal, popsicle sticks, and a grand time. The girls stay through Friday and we have lots of activities planned. Hope you are enjoying your summer and love sharing your favorite projects with us here at Happiness is Homemade.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Can you believe that it is the 1st of June? Wow, this year is almost half over. I heard that there is 207 days until Christmas! Oh no, summer hasn't even started yet. Let's think summer and just enjoy!

Carol is our hostess this month, see her comments below.
I lied ~ well, not intentionally. Last week I told you that it was my last week to be hostess. Then I was reminded that I am also hostess for the month of June. (Do I hear a woo~who or groans?) So here, I am ~ back as your hostess for Happiness is Homemade Link Party 273.  We hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Now we turn our attention to summer and all the activities ahead: summer entertaining, camp, the lake, the beach, picnics. Father's Day is in 2 weeks. Then July 4th is in a little more than 5 weeks. O.K., I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's enjoy the first week of June.

It's Memorial Weekend and I hope you are having a relaxing and wonderful time especially with an extra day off. Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering and honoring persons who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. So while you are enjoying your activities and cook-offs, please take a moment to thank those who served. Check out some comments from Carol:

Welcome to our Memorial Day weekend and our Happiness is Homemade Link Party 272. We hope that you are enjoying this special holiday of remembrance for those who have served our country.

Happiness Is Homemade

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

I am enjoying my visit to Pittsburgh to watch my grandson play in a hockey tournament. Although I have seen him play before, it was a special treat for my mother. She turned 94 at the end of April and I wanted her to see her great grandson play. She has never seen a hockey game and she was so excited to see him play. When the game ended, she said, "it's over already, I was just getting into it".

I also too my younger sister to the game so it was a nice family get together. We all went out for lunch later and had a wonderful visit.
Check in with Carol below for this weeks comments about the party.

Happy Mother's Day! and Welcome to 

Happiness is Homemade Link Party 270

I am so delighted that you are taking a moment out of your Mother's Day to spend a few moments at our party. I hope you have an awesome day and do something to spoil yourself, or that special someone. 

Carol has picked this weeks features so check them out and see her comments below.


It's Mother's Day and if you are a mom, a mom~to~be, have a mom or a grandmother, favorite aunt, or know someone who acts as a mom, we at Happiness is Homemade Link party 270 hope that you are having a marvelous day. This week I shared the mother's day cards I made for my grandkids to give to their moms. You might like to PIN it for next year. Spring has settled in and we love the blooming flowers everywhere (not the pollen and allergies!). I'm so excited to be hostess for the rest of the month of May. I always think of May flowers and showers, the May pole, and the lusty month of May (from Camelot).
"It's May, it's May, that gorgeous holiday.
That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear."
You all made it so hard to pick a few featured posts. The content last week was over the top. But choose, I did, so please enjoy, PIN, comment and share. And definitely, link up for next week. Bluesky at Home signature

May is off to a great start with all the May flowers bursting forth. I love this time of year as new flowers emerge from the ground and vines of Jasmine spread their lovely scent throughout the yard. Are you enjoying the smells of spring?

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Can you believe that this is the last Sunday on April. In a few days it will be May. Warmer weather and lots of lovely flowers. I was watching the Cherry Blossom Festival on TV. I must admit that the festivities were pale in comparison to the gorgeous cherry blossoms. Summer always seems to be just around the corner when I see the cherry blossoms. Aren't they just beautiful?

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Happy Easter to everyone. Hope you have a lovely Sunday and that you are able to enjoy some time with family and friends. I remember when the kids were little I would hide eggs and their Easter baskets and then make them follow a scavenger hunt for their baskets. Each clue would lead to another place until they found them. Once I hid them up a tree. I think I drove them crazy. I thought it was fun! lol! Have you ever done something like that.
