Link Party: The Weekend re-Treat! #11

Guess who spent the whole day relaxing, taking a nap and playing with the baby and my hubby who didn't work on his side job today.  I did!

I kind of feel like a bum and I'm lovin it!

Everyday it's all about recipe searching, cooking, cleaning the kitchen just so I can dirty it up again and cook another meal ;), having food photo sessions, laundry, playing with the baby, giving my teenager a hard time about doing her homework, blogging, face-booking, pinning, commenting, linking up to link partys... etc!  The list goes on and on.  I don't think I realized when I started blogging that it would be so time consuming.  It does bring me a lot of happiness but also distracts me sometimes from the other important things & people in my life.  What I'm trying to say is that I need to find a good balance in my life and taking the day off to spend it with my family was a step in the right direction :)

I bet you're sitting there shaking your head knowing exactly how I feel.

I stepped out of my comfort zone, broke every daily routine, didn't follow my normal schedule and didn't even look at my planner today.  Instead the hubby and I just sat on the floor and played with our 14 month old who loved every minute of it. So here's my challenge for each of you... think about the last time you really took the day off and gave your family 100% of your attention?  If you can't remember when that was then I challenge you to do it.  Give them 100% of you for the whole day. They'll be glad you did and so will you!



Now that I've had a relaxing day off I'm ready to start blogging again and get this pArTy StArTeD! 

Check out these Fabulous Features from last weekends Link Party #10.  






If you were featured please grab a button 
HERE to display on your blog!


Now on to the PARTY!  
Here's how our party works!

#1 Each week I will be featuring a few of my favorite links and showcasing them on the following week’s link party post, so be sure to come back next weekend to see if you were a featured link! 

Also, by linking up you give The Best Blog Recipes permission to use your photos on our blog (round up posts, features, etc), Pinterest and Facebook pages.  All credit will be given to you with any photo used linked directly to your post. I will also be adding each link party submission to my Pinterest Boards.  Your submission will appear either on My Link Party {Recipes} or My Link Party {Craft/DIY} depending on where it fits best.   

#2 Grab a button to put on your post, or somewhere else on your site.  A text link is fine too!
#3 Link up as many projects, recipes & DIY’s as you’d like…. But please don’t link any giveaways or Etsy Shops here.
#4 We’d love if you’d follow us on Facebook, GFC or via email so we can stay connected
#5 Show the others bloggers some love and check out a few of their links.  Let them know you saw their link on “The Weekend re-Treat” while you are there!

And... I'd LOVE if you'd follow The Best Blog Recipes on Bloglovin while you were here today if you aren't already :)

Thanks for hosting! It's so true that blogging is very consuming. It definitely takes more time than you think it will, if you want to get the most out of it. It's hard to find that balance. I feel like I do all the fun parts, the baking, the photography, the composing during naptime but then it's hard to fit in the networking & such. Sometimes I am up at night doing the networking & I feel bad that I am neglecting my husband. Anyway, great challenge to get off the computer & into the family scene, so thanks for that! :)

Hi Shauna,
Your party is great! Thanks for inviting me over. Yes, I know how you feel about blogging all day.
My hubs made a rule after I started blogging to limit the weekends. I try not to do too much then. But, I sometimes do. It takes a lot of time to run a blog. Thank you for hosting and enjoy your family time too!
