Hi Friends! Lately there has been a lot of debate in the blogging world about link parties and whether or not they are still necessary for blog growth or if they have just lost popularity in general. Today I am discussing why I still believe in link parties or weekly blog hops as they are sometimes called. Some of the larger blogs have stopped hosting link parties. Many of those parties have been around for over a decade, and as a blog link party host myself, I can understand the professional reasons why bloggers may choose not to host parties after such a lengthy period of time. I know that it is a huge commitment and responsibility and the decision to stop hosting was surely not taken lightly. Still for many of us, link parties are a super fun way to showcase our own creativity or for readers to catch up on their favorite bloggers’ latest posts or find new blogs to explore. At the end of this post I have listed all of my favorite link parties as a resource.
Happy Easter and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am so happy to be joining Katherine at Katherine’s Corner and a wonderful group of blogging friends as a co-hostess for this fantastic weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers too!

Hello friends! Today I am sharing my first potted spring herbs of the season and some bright spring blooms in pots and in our flower beds. We have been having a near perfect spring so far in Kentucky and some vibrant spring blooms as a result. Fall is usually my favorite season but this spring has been so fabulous that I am loving it almost just as much. I have been trying to savor all the gifts that the season brings for as long as they last. *This post contains affiliate links.
Hello everyone! This time last year I was in NYC on a very special trip with my son and my husband along with my son’s school technology group for the Samsung Solve For Tomorrow National competition. I realized a few weeks ago that I didn’t finish the blog post about the trip. With spring in full bloom and Easter less than a week away I thought it would be a great time to share the post I started working on last year.
