SPONSOR OF THE MONTH
Silvie from My Silly Little Gang
Through Silvie’s posts, she shares the details of raising my silly little gang of boys and the different things she encounters in her life as a mommy. Including crafts, recipes, and reviews, she enjoys blogging and all the work it entails. It definitely keeps her on her toes, but it’s rewarding for her when she receives a comment from a reader letting her know they enjoy her post. Her goal is to grow her blog into all it can be. As a mommy blogger, she has had the opportunity to work with several brands to review their products or places.
Stop by and check out her blog…it’s definitely a great read!

Cindy chose Easy Chocolate Peppermint Truffles from The Surburban Mom. “It is the season for peppermint and I have been baking with it a lot. I’ve never made truffles before but I hope to tackle this recipe in the weeks before Christmas.”
Amy also chose this post. “These truffles look delicious and would make great gifts for the approaching holidays – plus their easy to make!”
Tina chose Handmade Rustic Angel Ornament from Canary Street Crafts. “What a beautiful and easy to make Christmas ornament. So cute!! I’m going to make one as Christmas craft with my daughter,she loves Christmas angels!!! Maybe make some as presents.”
Damjana chose Thanksgiving Table Setting from Home Remedies. “I love the fresh feel of the white-green hydrangeas centerpiece and the interesting combination of materials – the traditional combination of burlap on wood topped by a white see-through scarf, giving the scene a silky-light feel…You cannot not love it, can you?”
Serena chose Serving Others (When You Barely Have Time To Take Care Of Yourself!) from Women with Intention. “I personally feel like this sometimes. I know I sometimes want to help out others so bad even when there’s way too much on my plate and I do it anyway. I have to know and trust in the end it’ll all work out for the good. If I have to say no (on the rare occasion) I know if that opportunity was meant for me then a way will open up for me to do it without feeling overwhelmed.”
Mari chose Oreo Funfetti Cake Bars from With A Blast. “Can you tell I have a sweet tooth? Omg again I had a long list and had to narrow down but I loved Linda’s treat because it mixes 2 of my daughters’s favorites so it’s a must try.”
Jillian chose Friday Favorites: Updated Thanksgiving Planner from Krafty Cards etc. “I am SUCH a planner nerd and think it is absolutely necessary to have a planner for your Thanksgiving meal. I want everyone to know about and enjoy this printable!”
Angie chose Angeli di carta fai da te * DIY paper Angels from Caseperlatesta. “These paper angels are so simple but yet so classy – many ways to decorate with them – on the tree, in a nativity scene or as a place setting for Christmas dinner!”
Cathy chose Pancake Battered Banana Bites from The Pinterested Parent. “I can’t wait to serve these adorable little bites to the little ones in my life…except I know the big ones in my life are going to love them too!”
Stasia chose Nursing & Pumping Essentials from The Memoirs of a Mommy. “I just would have found this list super helpful when I was pregnant and will definitely use it the second time around!”
Tenns chose Mommy, Where’s Your Meatball? A Tale About Testicles + Tips for Discussion from Epic Mommy Adventures. “While it was hilarious, it gave me a real reality check of what it means to raise a boy. I’m so happy you shared this insight, because kids, especially boys, never cease to amaze, surprise or humiliate you. I have a bit more of an idea of one of the many crazy things that may happen with having a son.”
Silvie chose 4 Simple & Oh So Cute Christmas Gifts from Always Made with Love. “These 4 ideas are adorable, simple and easy to do. These would make perfect stocking stuffers or add a nice touch to gift baskets, or use as bows on gifts!”
Tiffany chose 7 Tips to Being a Better Stay-At-Home-Mama from Seven Graces. “I love this post! It can be so hard to remember that being at home is not only about taking care of our children but taking care of ourselves as well. A better us means a better Woman, Wife and Mother for everyone else.”
Stacey chose 7 Epic Books for Bloggers from Amber Kristine. “What a wonderful listing of books! Even though I have been at this blogging thing for almost two years, I still feel like there is so much that I have yet to learn. I am definitely going to check into some of these. Thank you so much for sharing!”
Jessica chose A Better Human Being from Two Teens and Their Mama. “What an inspiring story! It made me think of what I currently have in life and be thankful for it all :). Thanks for the beautiful share!”
Rhonda also chose this post. “During dark hours we sometimes loose sight of the blessings that we still have. To strive to be A Better Human Being during difficult things takes courage, but it also takes courage to strive to be A Better Human Being during our good times. Hopefully we will remember just how blessed we are this holiday season.”
Meghan chose Two random parenting fails from Ripped Jeans & Bifocals. “I love this post because it is just so honest. It’s easy to hide behind the computer and make it seem (on purpose or not) that your life is perfect to your readers.”
Kelly chose DIY felt board pictures – game time! from AppleGreen Cottage. “I love the simplicity of the felt boards – and that it isn’t electronic!”
Chelsea chose Apple Roll Ups Recipe from Typically Simple. “This recipe looked so adorable! The perfect bite of apple pie plus the flakiness of crescent rolls. So easy, and soooooo yummy sounding! I just might make these for the kids on Thanksgiving!”
Rebeka chose 10 Ways To Save On Thanksgiving Dinner from A Mitten Full of Savings. “With holiday travels, two big dinners, presents for 4 others and stockings for all guests on Christmas eve, the holidays get pretty tight on money. I love these suggestions to help ease the strain on the pocketbook. You can even use several of the tips together!”
Natasha chose Objectified from British Mum USA. “I am upset about this post on so many levels, but I do feel that there is a bright side too. Your daughter’s friend not only recognized that this is an issue but she did something about it – she spoke up! I have seen this happen many times, and yes, the boy is a complete idiot but sometimes the girls fall for it believing that the only way for him to like her is to have sex with him. It is so sad! And that’s why I’m so incredibly proud of your daughter’s friend for not dealing with it or believing it is acceptable.”
The post with the most clicks is Shop Spotlight: Ahoy Amigo from Life with Peanut.
