Savoring Summer – Best of the Weekend 08-09-19

Why is everyone always rushing to the next season?  Don’t you agree we should be savoring summer and living in the moment more?  In my opinion, there is plenty of time to enjoy the fall season so we should embrace these lazy summer days of August!

Welcome to this week’s edition of Best of the Weekend link party!  We are so happy you could join us!  Each week, we invite you to link up your DIY projects, crafts, home decor, recipes 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:

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.
