The Great BLog Train Hop

 This is the last week of school for our two oldest Daughters. All the exciting end of year field trips are happening, Kindergarten graduation is this Friday, and then we start our summer break. Our Daughters have already started the "I'm going to miss my teachers syndrome" and quit frankly I am too. Do you ever feel sad as a parent at the end of the year? I do and I am not afraid to admit it. We have been blessed with amazing teachers this school year for both our Daughters. As parents we couldn't have been happier. 

And even though this week started out on a chilly note it sure is beginning to warm up outside. Who is working in their garden? I will be for sure. We will be extending out raised garden for fresh veggies and fruits. 

Now head below and link-up with us. Ever first Wednesday we host The Great Blog Train with seven amazing bloggers who host and one destination cohost!

"Jolee Studio" Congratulations!
Beth & Trisha are sisters & co-founders of this lovely blog!  They are Children's Party experts!  This is how they describe their blog: "Jolee comes from combining our middle names (Jolene and Bree).  Later we found that it’s also a word in the online Urban Dictionary.  It means a girl who’s beautiful inside and out.  That’s what we would like to strive for and we’d love it if others shared in our journey"

September's Caboose and featured blog happens to be:

"Traveling Cats" Congratulations!
This is such a cool blog!!  - So original!  This is how Vanessa describes her blog:

For over ten years, I've been snapping pictures of every cat I meet during my travels around the world. Traveling Cats is the collection of those cat pictures.  It's an interesting project on many levels. The pictures are not just about the cats, but they also give a good impression of the cities and countries in which those pictures were taken. Also, whereas in some parts of the world cats look like little divas, in others they are unkempt, poor creatures. I currently have over 500 cat pictures, and that collection is still growing.

Mice In The Kitchen:

Mice in the Kitchen is my corner of the internet where I talk about the craziness that is my life...4 kids and tons of pets....did I mention my husband is not a pet guy?!  I am a newbie at being a small business owner and navigating that has been eye opening to say the least. On any given day on my blog you might find a funny story, join a link up, enter a contest or learn about a new product. I would love for you to stop by and say hi!  I love to get to know my readers and connect with other bloggers.

Second Chances Girl:

I'm a mom of one, step-mom of two from MIami, Fl. I blog our life as a blended family of five, along with sharing some recipes and a little style!!
