remodeling this life

I thought I’d try something new today. It may go well, it may not. Instead of sharing with you a few things that I found in my reader this week from the same blogs that I read all the time, I thought I’d broaden my horizons and give you a chance to share. So, I am asking you to share a link from your blog below in the McLinky that I hopefully will insert properly and will function fabulously.

One time many years ago, I had a party at my new condo and one person showed up. It was not one of my finer moments. So I am laying this out there that I hope that I don’t have a link party today that no one shows up to. I am making it easy. Simply share a post that you love. I want to visit everyone and see who you are, what matters to you and what inspires you to sit down at your computer and share.

A few pesky rules: make sure the post you link up is a permalink – that it goes directly to a blog post, not just your blog’s main page. It makes it easier for everyone. If you’d like to link back here in your post, that would be wonderful. And I hope after you leave your link that you will visit others, comment and spread some love and joy around.

Happy Simple Saturday.

Before I share a few gems from my reader this week for your weekend reading pleasure, I have a couple other linky things to share.

I started a tumblr a while back, then my computer died and when I got my new computer, I forgot all about it and never added the bookmark back. I finally did add it recently and have been tumbling a few things. It is much easier to share things I like around the web than doing these link roundups, but I still enjoy these. You can let me know if you don’t find them valuable. I try to keep them simple, not giving too many links each time I do one.

I also created a facebook fan page. If you’d like to be a fan of Remodeling This Life over there, I promise I’ll keep it simple over there, too. (Maybe that should be my new blog tagline. I’ve been thinking of changing it.)

Don’t forget that the Lisa Leonard Designs $50 Giveaway ends tomorrow. Leave a comment to be entered and I’ll be randomly choosing the winner and announcing it tomorrow.

And now, here are some links from my reader that I enjoyed this week:

• Big Rocks First
• Simple Easter Paper Crafts
• Spring Time Wall Art
• I Can’t Do It All
• Trying To Buy His Love

This was a long bad week for my family in terms of sickness. 2 ear infections and one sinus infection between my two kids, and a cold for me made for a cooped up, lazy week at home. I do like the extra naps and snuggle time I get but I would love a week of no doctor’s office copays and would like my kitchen to look more like a kitchen and less like a pharmacy.

While I’m snuggling congested kids, here are some links for your reading pleasure that I enjoyed from my reader this week:
