Spotlight Saturday

Here are FIVE of my favorite posts from the past week. Each week I will be highlighting some of my favorites. I have many blogs in my reader, as I have many friends with all different types of “niches” or “non-niches”. I will post serious stories, fun stories, pictures, recipes, etc. They will most likely be in a random order.

1. Kara’s Party Ideas-Retro Surf Birthday Party

I love to see party planning/idea posts on blogs.  It is so inspiring to me as I do not have a party planning bone in my body.  I wish I could magically wave a wand and have a party like this. But alas, I can just read about them on fabulous blogs like this.

2. Joy’s Hope-A Carnival of Tiered Trays

I pretty much love Julie because we share the same and she also loves turquoise.  She was the Mistress of Spray Paint when she made these fabulous trays.  I love the bright colors.

3. Tip Junkie-3rd Annual Tip Junkie Birthday Bash

Laurie is approaching her 3rd Anniversary of her blog, Tip Junkie.  She is requested links and submissions for your party posts, printables, and anything that would be a GREAT party tip for her readers. She will also be doing some giveaways, the week of 06.14.10 to 06.19.10.

4. Nesting Place-Summerize Your Home Part II: Keep It Calm

The Nester has some simple and easy tips to bring a little “summer” to your home by decorating and accessorizing.

5. Musings of a Housewife-Helicopter Parenting

Jo Lynne talks about the community pool and the parents knee deep in the pool with their children.  She said that all the law chairs are crowded with towels and flip flops, yet the parents are hovering over their kids in the actual pool. Where there are a ton of training lifeguards.

2.  Seven-Thirty-Three-Candy Shoppe First Birthday Party

This is an adorable them for a First Birthday Party for a sweet little girl.  She did everything herself too, with some teeny help with ideas from other sites and blogs. So smart! Just seeing this post makes me want some candy.

3.  Centsational Girl-Patriotic Porch

Kate does it again with the fabulous red/white/blue themed porch.  It just screams summer!  I love how she mixes and matches the several different types of pots that the plants and flowers are in!

4.  This Mama Makes Stuff-Learning to Ride a Balance Bike

Carrie and her family are bike riding addicts.  This is a great post about balance bikes.  Kids do not need training wheels, they need to start on a balance bike.

Kat’s daughter found her video camera and taped herself.  She then had Kat makes some cartoons on the computer for her also. HILARIOUS!
