Our 600th Party on Happiness Is Homemade

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #600

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #600!

WHAT A MILESTONE THIS IS!!!

I'm Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess and it is my absolute pleasure to host our #600 blog hop as my last party for the month of August.

Looking back, I realized that I have been a hostess since 2015 - THAT IS 10 YEARS! I didn't even realize how long I had been participating. Not to mention I didn't even join at the very beginning of the party's creation, so this party has been going on for a LONG TIME! It looks like I started with party #88 - holy cow!

We've had many incredible hostesses over the years and I am proud to say that both myself, Sinea from Ducks ‘n a Row and Linda of A Labour of Life are the longest standing original hostesses - thank you ladies for your time and care! Beverly from Eclectic Red Barn has also been with us for quite a long time too, maybe at least 8 years, is that right Bev?

We are so happy to have our two newest hostess' on board - Susan from The Bay To The Beach and Esme of Esme Salon - whose enthusiasm and dedication is bringing a fresh new life to our party!

Even though our hosts have changed over the years, one thing still remains the same, our dedication to you - our readers - to bring you new and exciting content every week from your favorite bloggers. We hope you enjoy exploring our link party as much as we love hosting it for you!

This Week's Features

To involve all of our incredible hostess' for this monumental party, I've asked each to choose one feature to highlight this week.

Linda's Pick

DIY Stretch Velvet Acorns

I'm pretty sure our resident Canadian blogger's favorite season is fall - am I right Linda??? She is so crafty and loves a good DIY, so I'm not surprised she picked this DIY Stretch Velvet Acorns tutorial for her feature. Let us know if you make them!

Sinea's Pick

Chicken Walnut Stuffed Pumpkin

Not only do our hostess' organize each week's party but we contribute too! Linda submitted this post for Chicken Walnut Stuffed Pumpkin and Sinea was all about it! She especially loves the images Linda shared on her post - bravo! This looks really tasty Linda, perfect for a single-mom's dinner!

Bev's Pick

Pine Cone Decor from Fall to Winter

Our hostess Bev is a HUGE DIY'er and lover of all things outdoors and country, so I'm not surprised she chose this post utilizing Pine Cone Decor from Fall to Winter for her feature. I love using pinecones in my decor too, Bev! I even have one hung in the house to help me tell if it's going to rain that day or not.

Katie's Pick (me!)

Electric Lemonade

I love lemonade so much, it's one of my favorite summer time bevies. Yes, yes I know summer is over BUT September is WNY where I live can still be quite warm! So if you are looking to spice up your lemonade before it starts to get cold, try making this Electric Lemonade.

Susan's Pick

Budget Friendly DIY Ghost Decor

As a newly single mom of three I am always looking for cheap and quick ways to decorate, and with Halloween being one of my FAVORITE holidays, I know that this post Susan chose will come in real handy - Budget Friendly DIY Ghost Decor. You don't have to spend hours or a small fortunate to making things look festive!

Esme's Pick

Apricot Chickern with Truffle Oil Mustard

This recipe looks so heart-warming and mouth-watering to me. I know that soup season is upon us but I'm always down for a delicious chicken dish. Esme chose this recipe for Apricot Chicken with Truffle Oil Mustard and I'm not going to lie - I'm adding truffle oil to next week's grocery list to try this one out!

THANK YOU LADIES FOR HOSTING WITH ME THIS WEEK AND HELPING SELECT THE FEATURES!

I think I speak for all the hostess' when I say how happy we are to provide this space for content creators and readers to share and enjoy. Please help us spread the word by sharing this party on your socials!

This Week's Features

Tiramisu Dip

One of my favorite desserts is is the Italian dessert tiramisu so when I saw this recipe for Tiramisu Dip I had to feature it. Another great recipe from Cindy's On-Line Recipe Box - bravo!

Bang Bang Salmon

I have heard of bang bang shrimp but I had never heard of Bang Bang Salmon - this sounds so yummy and a fun twist on that popular recipe.

May Declutter Calendar

I am really getting into decluttering as I continue to tidy up the house. However sometimes motivation is needed, so I found this list with a May Declutter Calendar to help keep me going and stay on track.

Crumbl Cotton Candy Cookie Recipe

Over our spring break, I was able to take the kids to Crumbl for the first time while visiting my family in Buffalo. We enjoyed such delicious cookies and loved the whole experience at the store. Check out this post with a Crumbl Cotton Candy Cookie Recipe the Fat Dad Foodie blog - this looks like a good one!

No Bake Banana Split Dessert

I used to love an old fashioned banana split dessert, but unfortunately I could never eat one these days (too big!). How fun would this No Bake Banana Split Dessert be to make in the summer time for a cool treat?

Spring Ideas on Happiness Is Homemade

Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade link party! We are so glad you are here. Last week we took a moment to explain a little bit about WHAT a blog hop (aka blog party or link party) is. Like some of our readers of the past, you may have just arrived having no idea what this is! At the risk of boring our veteran "blog hoppers" we'd like to say it one more time, if that is OK with you.

This blog party is a gathering place for bloggers to come by and share their newest posts for everyone to enjoy. Many of our visitors have no blog of their own. They just love to browse! They stop in to have fun reading and enjoying the new posts of the week. Many save their favorites for later or even share links to posts on social media. Link parties are a big benefit to bloggers. Our posts get much greater visibility as a result of participating in blog parties.

Are you a blogger? We welcome you to share your family-friendly posts right here, right now! .

So, let's enjoy a few features from last week and then we will be on to our new party right away! .
