Happiness Is Homemade

Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party

June is in full swing here. The flowers are beautiful and my Crepe Myrtle is so lovely.  Hurricane season has started here in Florida and with that comes rainy season so everything is beginning to green up and blossom. Hope you are having a lovely June. Here are some features to help with your summer time.

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.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

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. We hope that you will take a few minutes to browse through our party guests and join the party yourself. I've really enjoyed being your hostess for the month of May. Selecting our favorite features of the week is a super fun privilege. It's a hard task, but allows me to deep~dive into your posts. Thanks for sharing here and we hope you come back every week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and Happy Summer.

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!

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.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade! 

Here we are at almost the end of March. We are having beautiful weather, nice during the day and cool in the evenings. Hopefully, those of you in cooler weather areas, you are beginning to experience some spring like temps. April should bring warmer weather and lovely spring flowers.

We have a new hostess for the month of April so check in with Susan below to meet her and hear a little about her.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

What a day it has been. I told you that we are getting our house ready to sell. It has been rather stressful but it is coming along. Today I was putting down mulch (50 bags, so far) and my husband yells for my. Here when he pulled out the washing machine to clean behind it, something happened so when I put in a load of rags, the water went all over the floor and into the garage. What a mess! Needless to say, cleaning that up was not on our list of projects for the day. We got it cleaned up and by then I was more exhausted than I thought possible. I was even too tired to eat.  At least the garage floor is clean!

Now a word from our monthly hostess:
March is National Crafting Month in the US, so I have some crafty features from last week's party including a crafty home decor idea and recipe idea. Plus, I had to include the post about the California Super Bloom since I live a few miles south of one of the most popular viewing sites. It's a nightmare, don't come! Seriously, the poor town has become overrun with traffic and trash and people are trampling the flowers and parking on the freeway letting their kids play. But the hills are breathtaking! ~Audrey from That Recipe

Top of the mornin to you! Hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Wear the green if your Irish or maybe make something green for breakfast. lunch, dinner or dessert. If green is not on your agenda, then think spring and a note from our hostess for this month:

Click your heels together three times and repeat after me: Spring is almost here, Spring is almost here, Spring is almost here. I know it is hard to believe if you were stuck at home this week in the latest blizzard, but the calendar says it is almost Spring. And that rodent in Pennsylvania said Spring was coming early this year. Well I can't promise when Spring will arrive to your neighborhood, but I can offer you some lovely some Spring features this week. Lots of gardening, decorating and crafting tips, plus a delicious strawberry jam recipe to tuck away for when the strawberry farms open in your area.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party!

March is here and that should mean spring is coming, but for some in the north, the weekend means more snow. Yikes! We can stay indoors and check out all of the fabulous posts at the party. Check out the message from Audrey, our host for this month:

I'm Audrey from That Recipe and I will be taking over hosting duties this month.  March is here and this year that means Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day and the start of Spring. Last week we featured some fun Mardi Gras ideas so be sure to check that out if you need more inspiration. This week it's rainbows for St. Patrick's Day that has me inspired, plus a great Irish recipe and an easy but dramatic DIY project.

 Corned beef and cabbage is an American tradition for St. Patrick's Day. In Ireland they are more apt to have a hearty Irish Lamb Stew like this one from Kippi at Home.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Can you believe that this is the last Saturday in February? Time is flying and soon it will be March. Hopefully it will mean warmer weather.  I know some are having some strong winds and ice. Hope you are safe and keeping warm.

With Mardi Gras fast approaching, Audrey has some info about that holiday. Check out her comments below:

Those of you outside of the Gulf Coast might not be familiar with Mardi Gras. The literal translation is Fat Tuesday, the Day before Ash Wednesday when you eat all of the fatty sweet foods in your home before Lent begins. But, in New Orleans and the surrounding areas the celebration has become a weeks long secular party filled with parades and music and beads that can start as early as January 6th. I hope the features this week inspire you to celebrate the spirit of Mardi Gras at home with recipes, crafts and tablescapes. And since we are learning about the world, I added one wordly DIY project. Stop by the featured posts and say hi from the Happiness is Homemade Krewe (that's how they spell crew in NOLA ;) ) Laissez les bons temps rouler! ~Audrey from Munofore.

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

Winter has been crazy with warm temps then very cold and then warm again.  Some places are having more snow than usual, while California is experiencing devastating weather conditions. I hope you are all safe. Although spring is not here yet, Audrey is getting us in the mood.

As a promise of good things to come when Spring finally gets here again, I have some lovely flower and fruit themed features for you all this week: a few vintage recipes, some lovely images, an inspired home decor project and some gardening too. I'd love it if you took a few moments to stop by the featured blogs as well as our hosts blogs just to say hello. I hope you all stay warm and dry this week. ~Audrey from Munofore

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade!

I am so excited that you have stopped by our party. I hope your weekend has been going well. Mine is OK. Car issues are never a joy. We drove up to our other house on Thursday and the trip was rather uneventful until we were about an hour out. We could tell the car was not doing well. At first we thought we had gotten some bad gas but the closer we came, other issues started to happen. Long story short, we did arrive safely but now need our transmission fixed.  That, we were not expecting and we have to leave it for a week. We keep a second car here that is old, so we are hoping it makes it home. 

Now a few words from your HIH host for February:

Welcome to the party! I hope everyone survived the cold last week. It is just hitting us here in Southern California after 4 days of rain. It is nice to see the sun, but it is so cold my 10 year old actually put on a sweatshirt without arguing! Our features from the amazing posts shared at last week's party are "I'll take Potpourri for 1000, Alex", a little of this and a little of that. I hope you take a moment to visit the featured blogs and our hosts too. ~Audrey from Munofore

I hope that you are experiencing some warmer weather. Ours has been so much warmer although we had some rain. I don't mind. my garden could use it. My friend and I went to pick strawberries this morning. We tried not to eat too many, they were so good. I didn't make anything exciting to put them on, I thought we would just have some with whipped cream.

We have a new host for the next two months and you can get to know Audrey by checking out what she has to say below.

Hi there, It's Audrey from Munofore, not to be confused with Audrey from That Recipe. She is a crazy lady that talks to herself. Okay, okay! I am the crazy lady... with two blogs: That Recipe (food) and Munofore (MUsings NOt FOod RElated: mostly crafts, gardening, and healthy aging posts these days). Add in a husband and 10 year old son, is it any reason I talk to myself? I have the privilege of picking our features for the next two months and I am so excited! I will be trying to pick some new bloggers as well as those that have been partying with us for years and to select a nice mix of food, crafts, decor and more for you every week. Let's get this party started already! Who is surprised I have a Valentine's Day theme going with our features this week? Hopefully no one. There were so many wonderful ideas last week you may want to stop by and see all of them.
