SHINE Blog Hop

January 16, 2015 by lydiaritchie 4 Comments

Happy Thursday / Friday Everyone (depending where in the wonderful world you are, of course!)

I am so excited (more so than normal) that you stopped by today as I am joining the wonderful Jennifer from The Deliberate Mom in co-hosting her weekly blog hop. Jennifer is a SAHM to two gorgeous girls, a wearer of many hats, who among other things blogs about her faith, parenting, home-schooling and her journey to becoming a ‘deliberate’ Mom. If you haven’t popped by her page already, I encourage you too – you won’t be disappointed..

Now, to the fun part!

The SHINE Blog Hop is a weekly link up of family friendly posts that have been posted on different websites around the internet. You can add your links (if you’re a blogger). If you’re a non-blogger, then please feel free to visit the featured posts and/or visit any of the links that are of interest to you. Comments on this or any posts that are visited are always welcome!

Welcome to the 30th edition of the SHINE Blog Hop! I’m continually impressed by the creativity, diversity, and quality of the posts that have been shared here every week… so thank you for stopping by to SHINE!

I would like to begin by extending a warm welcome to this week’s co-host Lydia, from Always Made With Love. Lydia shares recipes and glimpses of life with her gorgeous little family (just wait until you “meet” her son, Sebastian… what a sweetie)! Please take a moment to show Lydia some blogging love and/or follow her on her social media sites.
