It all started innocently enough on Friday evening. I
entered a cool giveaway on Instagram for a wonderful craft prize bundle to
celebrate March National Crafting Month. I entered and naturally shared the
love with a couple of my crafty friends. One of these friends direct messaged
me to ask what I’m going to create this month. Great question I said! Because, it
seriously is a great question. I may make a new spring wreath, or new garden
stakes and plant markers, or I could finally allow myself to set aside the time
to learn a new craft like crewel embroidery like my Mom used to do. Or maybe I’ll
make a simple pastel flower garland to brighten our hearth and welcome spring.
The possibilities are truly endless thanks to all the fun classes available
with Bluprint!

in #AD, #giveaway, #VeggieTales, entertainment, family, kid shows, shows, streaming, by Linda A Kinsman, Wednesday, December 18, 2019
The excitement for the most wonderful day of the year is building all around my home. We’re busy wrapping gifts, mailing last minute cards and packages, baking more cookies and making memories along the way. This is such a happy time of year! Since this will be my last post before Christmas, I couldn’t think of a better way to say thank you for another great year, than hosting a giveaway for Yippee, a new streaming service for families. More info about the Yippee prize pack below.
Yippee has VeggieTales Christmas!
Have you ever been scrolling through your Instagram or Twitter feed and saw a beautiful aerial photo and wondered what type of equipment was necessary to capture that amazing shot? More often than not, the photographer used a drone. Drones are becoming fairly common in our lives these days with a host of professionals and hobbyists utilizing them. From wedding photographers to real estate agents, to everyday people like you and me; it seems the sky really is the limit on what a drone can help us capture. Today, I’d love to introduce you the DJ1 Mavic Mini Drone. This is an affordable option to help you create vivid aerial shots too.
Do615 a fun way to make the most of Nashville
in entertainment, explore, fun, local events, Music City, Nashville, things to do, by Linda A Kinsman, Wednesday, April 03, 2019
When my husband and I moved to
Nashville in the 90’s, downtown was a full on, old school country music scene.
From the honky-tonks, Printer’s Alley and record label headquarters, it really was country. Today, you won't see the
long gone Hard Rock Cafe and Fuddruckers of the 90's, you'll see high rises and construction sites and traffic! To say Music City has changed in an understatement.
Nashville has grown, and continues to grow at such an alarming pace that even
locals like us need help navigating our day trips into Nashville, so today I’m
sharing a new to me guide called Do615, this website is a fun way to make the
most of a Nashville trip whether you have a day or a week.

in #AD, #SaintValentinesDayTraditions #CatholicCentral celebration, entertainment, giveaway, ideas, tips, by Linda A Kinsman, Friday, February 08, 2019
Happy Friday friends! As I sit down to write this fun post, I realized that this is the last weekend we have before Valentine’s Day and I’m feeling a little behind in my preparations. Now, let me state right here at the beginning of my post that I don’t decorate our home for this celebration like I used to when the kids were little, so that makes things a little easier, but I still have shopping to do for my husband and teen daughters. We always include them in our Valentine’s Day celebrations to show them extra love and besides, I think that’s what Saint Valentine, the patron of love, young people and happy marriage wants us to do. Read on for tips to rock this Valentine’s Day and enter to win a fabulous St. Valentine Love Kit.

I got my love of Jigsaw puzzles from my Mom. I can remember coming home from school to find a puzzle in progress on our dining room table. My Mom would happily allow anyone who passed by the table to try adding a piece or two, as long as you followed her rules. It’s hard to say which I loved more, helping her lay out a brand new 1000 piece puzzle (corners first of course!), or helping her find the final piece. We had hours of fun together and now thanks to the Jigsaw Puzzle app I can take that fun with me and have fun anytime!

Happy Friday and happy September everyone! September is a month of promise and new beginnings for me. We have settled into our school routines, the weather will finally turn cooler and I start my fall busy work schedule. Actually, this blog will turn 7 years old later this month. That is worth celebrating!
With all the positives in this month, there is one event that I will never forget- September 11, 2001. I was at home with my two year old daughter when my husband called to tell me the news. I was stunned and horrified and scared, right along with the rest of America. We will always remember 9/11!
I happily teamed up with TetherGroup to bring you this amazing giveaway today. I will receive the prize pack offered in the giveaway to thank me for my time. No other compensation given. All opinions are my own.
