Small Victories Sunday Linkup 12/19

Merry Christmas and welcome to this week’s linkup!  This is the last time I’ll get to say that to you this year.  I’m sure you’ve all been busy planning and preparing.  I pray you all have a wonderful time celebrating with family and friends.  

My Weekly Recap:

Family and Personal:

We’ve had a bit of an exciting week here.  Of course, there’s been Christmas shopping and planning but the BIG news is….  

Our oldest daughter has officially entered into a courtship with a young man she’s known for a couple of years. We’re very excited to get to know him better.  Maybe I’ll share more about that in a separate post. 

In Blogging News:

• Winners of the Lilla Rose flexi clip giveaway were announced.  Congratulations to Clare, Jennifer and Elizabeth.  
• Monday was a two for one recipe post with Jalapeno Cornbread and Ham and Cheese Pinwheels
• My favorite post this week was OREO Buns.  These were so quick & easy plus it’s cookies for BREAKFAST!

Now, on to another fabulous week at Small Victories Sunday Linkup, where we feature the best ideas on the internet to celebrate the holidays in books, recipes, and home decor. Our participants are hard at work providing our readers with the best books, recipes, DIY, home, health and blogging ideas to make your life simpler, happier and healthier!
