So many great ideas, crafts and things to do!  Thank you all for linking up last week at Family Fun Friday.  If you link up, you permit me to use your pictures/ideas as part of future posts. We’re waiting to get to 50 ideas to select our next winner, but this week I have three highlights from last week’s link party.

First highlight is, Daisy Cottage Designs who had an impromptu outing with her two precious girls and posted with some wonderful advice for families to make trips to the zoo or other outings especially memorable and fun.  You can read her post Alligators & Turtles for all her great advice.

For our second highlight, I’d like to feature Sky over at Capital B.  She shared some amazing valentine’s ideas.  You should read her post to see all the beautiful things she’s made with her family.

I also love the cultural diversity and creativity of our Family Fun Friday bloggers and I enjoyed the post by Dianna at Diana Rambles.  She has creative ideas for kids food, some great paper snake crafts and so many wonderful ideas.  Make sure you stop in and say hello if you visit her site.

Thanks so much to everyone who linked up.  I truly enjoy connecting with others and I love sharing what God is teaching me in the areas of mothering, parenting, discipleship, and marriage. I hope you are enjoying joining me on the journey.

Family Fun Friday is great for readers of Happy and Blessed Home to learn about some great ideas for Family Fun. If you are reading this blog post and leave a COMMENT you will be entered into the drawing for a free necklace or pair of earrings.  To leave a comment click the header and it will take you to a page where you can leave a comment.

Bloggers, for you, there are two ways to WIN:

1. Leave a comment (1 entry) – be sure your comment includes an idea for Family Fun
2. Link your blog post (5 entries)

If you do both, you get six entries.  How easy is that?  Necklaces and Earrings pictured below.  Cheri picked the green necklace, Jenn picked the red and Jodie picked the teal earrings.  Based on what our new winners select, our next winner can pick either the multicolored (corals and neutrals) necklace or a pair of earrings – how fun is that! 🙂

For my blogging friends, as announced in Announcing Family Fun Friday Link Up Party, to win, link a post with the following in mind:

• Family Friendly
• Fun
• Any activity that could be translated into something FUN for the family to do
• You can post on preschool activities, homeschool ideas, fun in the kitchen, things to read, games, crafts, anything that could be fun for two or more members of a family
• Family traditions make great ideas too!

If you’re going to blog it may as well be for free jewelry!  I will run the contest when I have 50 ideas for family fun.

It’s just my way of meeting new bloggers and building community on the topic of having fun with our families.  I pray you’ll join us every Friday for Family Fun Friday and I’ll keep giving away jewelry till it’s all gone (I have about 30 pieces). I will add my favorites from your posts to my Pintrest board to showcase your ideas.  Thanks for linking with me here at Happy and Blessed Home.  AND I’ve added a linky tool to my link parties list. If you host a link party please add it so myself, and my fellow bloggers can link up with you too!

As a courtesy, readers and bloggers, you can make this link up even better:

• Link as many posts  as you want (or share your ideas in the comments)
• Please visit at least one other blogger and leave a comment.  Bloggers love comments!
• A link back to https://www.happyandblessedhome.com is helpful but not required- thanks!

I pray you are blessed by this effort to share ideas on having Family Fun.

In His Grip,

Monica
