Weekend Whatever (8-2)

Welcome to Weekend Whatever!

Here you will find posts in all different genres and from many different blogs. Each week I feel so very blessed to have so many women share their hearts and creativity with us. Makes you realize how big the world is, but also how very alike we all are.

Hosting are:

Sara of Your Thriving Family

Justyn from Creative Christian Mama

You can read and link up at either of our blogs.

We will be taking turns sharing our favorite posts from the previous week.

This week it is Justyn’s picks!
It’s always so hard for me to choose just a few posts to highlight. Thank you all for sharing your hearts, ideas and lives with us.

1. Emily at Weak and Loved, shares about talking about the important things with our girls during those precious tween years when they are going from little girls to young ladies. Transitions can be so hard for us parent to adjust to, but Emily has invited us to join her in figuring it out. My eldest is only four, but I know I’ll be following along every Tuesday!
2. On a similar note, Heather at Cook Family Chronicles reminds us that our little ones are always listening- to the good and the bad. She talks about what they need to hear come from our mouths. Loved it!
3. Paula, at Whole Intentions, tells us all about one of my favorite things- Coconut oil! I love this stuff! Our home is never without at least one big jar of coconut oil, and with good reason. Read the post to learn about some of those amazing reasons, from skin care to anti-viral properties. If you don’t regularly use coconut oil, I bet this post will change that.
   And Your Thriving Family has a giveaway going on from Tropical Traditions right now!
4. Alysson, from A Heart For Home, made the most adorable little girl’s dress out of an old t-shirt and a skirt. Brilliant! I am going to keep this in mind, since my little girl loved long dresses, too.
