Back to School Ideas – Best of the Weekend 08-16-19

Have your kids gone back to school yet?  Every day, people are posting all their first day of school photos on social media.  To me it seems too early because here in New Jersey, most schools start after Labor Day.  Just like every year, I am not quite ready to say goodbye to summer!

Welcome to this week’s edition of Best of the Weekend link party!  We are so happy you could join us!  As always, we invite you to link up your inspiring posts which may include DIY, crafts, recipes, home decor, tip and more!  Let’s get started…

Each week, when you link up to Best of the Weekend, your link will appear on both our blogs.  Let’s meet your hosts…

 

If you don’t already follow our blogs, we would love for you to follow us in some way:

Liberty from B4 and Afters | Facebook | Google+ | Pinterest | Instagram

Shelley from Calypso in the Country | Facebook | Twitter | Pinterest | Instagram

 

Before we begin this week’s party, let’s take a look back at the past week…

Every week, we share the most popular post from the previous week’s party on both of our blogs.  In addition, each hostess picks a few favorites to share.  Be sure to check out each of our blogs to see all the features!

Also, remember to stop by our original Best of the Weekend Pinterest Board  and our newest Best of the Weekend Link Party Features where we pin the features each week!   For now, we will continue to pin the features to both of those boards.

Each week, I also share the features on my Instagram stories so be sure to follow along!

We always appreciate when we see people promoting our link party so Pin, Tweet and share away on social media!  Be sure to tag us so we can send you a thank you and give you a shout out at the next link party.
