remodeling this life

What a week it’s been. We’ve been really busy around the house lately, working on projects, having friends over, enjoying playing in the yard in the cool weather. It seems we go through some phases of having motivation to work on the house more than usual and one of those phases is now. While I’ve been gardening and working on interior rooms, hubby has finished up our pergola and is painting the exterior of the house now, which – trust me – is very exciting.

While I sit and watch the paint dry, here are some links for your Sunday morning.

• Have you heard about Moms Unite? Kimba, The Nester and Melissa at The Inspired Room have put this together. They’re promoting moms in business over the holidays and encouraging shopping for unique handmade gifts this year instead of going on a shopping spree at Target. I love it! You can check out the Moms Unite Shopping Guide. Also, be sure to check out all the links on their sidebars, as they are promoting moms with online shops and blogs to promote them throughout the holidays.

• I also want to point you all to the Holidays By Hand festival. Bloggers, Small Notebook, Simple Mom, Almost Frugal, One of Three, Gidget Goes Home and Ann from One Bag Nation and Vintage Mommy. The festival has already started, so check out the installments and feel free to contribute by posting content on your blog and linking up to the appropriate categories.
