Happy New Year!! We made it, it is 2015-how crazy is that? I hope you and your family had a great break.

Here are the Featured posts from last week!

Elaine chose 75 Amazing Cupcake Recipes from Pink Heels Pink Truck. “I’m a sucker for cupcakes.”

Rhonda chose Turn Old Christmas Cards into New Treasures from Crafty Journal. “I love recycling old things and turning them into functional items. The cards on the mason jars and as name tags are great ideas. I will use both ideas next Christmas to house my homemade goodies and on my gifts.”

Jillian chose Dream BIG in 2015- FREE New Years Resolutions Printable from Mama’s Got It Together. “I am a sucker for planning and goal printables and this one is TOTALLY free – that deserves some SERIOUS recognition!”

Angie chose New Year’s Eve Party Decor Ideas from Home Decor Designs. “Everything was beautiful from this post but I especially loved the midnight clock cookies – totally cute!”

Stacy chose I’m not a Proverbs 31 woman and that’s okay from Letters to Amelia. “This is a wonderful post, and I very much related Mandy’s concerns about living up to the standards of the Proverbs 31 woman. But, at the end of the day, we are enough and God loves us. I’m thankful for that reminder.”

Stacey chose 5 Things I Will Do in 2015! from The Mad Mommy. “Echo hit the nail right on the head with this one, I have been working the past few days at getting more organized and focused for a better This Momma’s Ramblings in 2015. I have even gotten so far as actually having most of January’s calendar filled in with post ideas. I also want to organize in so many other areas as well. Eating better is also something that I definitely want to accomplish in the coming year.”

Tina chose Stella’s Cat from Paper Seedlings. “A lovely card made from a talented grandmother to a granddaughter, how cute it is,adorable!! Thanks for sharing.”

Silvie chose Nutella Hot Chocolate Recipe from Classy Yet Trendy. “I chose this post because I love hot chocolate, also because it’s easy to make and has ingredients that I always have at home.”

Tiffany chose Stepping Back to Move Forward from Laina Turner. “I loved this post because I could relate to nearly every word. Type A personalities don’t always get the best attention but being one myself I know how hard it can be to say ‘no’ to anything. Yet when I do, it is usually much better than being overwhelmed in the end.”

Nancy chose How to Make Your Own Cloth Baby Wipes from Living Frugal with Erika. “I loved how to make your own cloth baby wipes, how useful is that?”

Mari chose Turkey Cranberry Sandwich Recipe from hello nature and All Natural Recipe for Red Velvet Cake from Little House Living. ” I love Cranberries and Red Velvet can’t go wrong with that.”

Natasha chose In the Moment from An Upstream Life. “It is so beautiful to watch your children in the midst of intense focus and concentration. Then, the look on their face as they seek recognition and approval is equally beautiful. This post captures those moments in pictures so beautifully. Great post!”

The post with the most clicks is Easy Pear Danish Bars from With A Blast.
