Happy Friday! I hope the year is off to a smooth start for all of you. Whew…it’s been a whirlwind around here. While I’ve been having lots of fun
traveling to New Mexico and
celebrating Dillon’s 15th birthday in Dallas, the home front is a bit of a zoo. Looking forward to a weekend at home working on some organizing, meal planning and prepping and probably some list making. Exciting stuff right?
Do all of you already have your blog calendars primed and ready to rock 2017? Well if you are like me it does help to map things out and I love having some ideas to write about, recipes to share and of course who doesn’t love a fashion update. I thought this Friday I’d share a few of my favorite linkups I’m planning to make a point to join.
First off, if you have not been following along with
The Blended Blog then you are missing some great posts. These women are sharing it all from books, to recipes, to fashion to so many inspirational posts plus they are HUGE supporters of other women! Here’s a look at what they have going on.
The Blended Blog reads is a virtual bookclub and you can sign up
here to join the fun. I shared my
2016 book review yesterday and already have so many books on my list for 2017! I have not signed up yet but it’s on my list.
Each Wednesday you can find the
New Year Styled linkup where these beautiful ladies invite you to share your style and they will inspire you with outfits along the way. A special shout out to the ladies for featuring this
layered look of mine from our New Mexico vacation!
They also have
Nuggets for the New Year prompts each Monday in January and February. This week was all about sharing budget tips such as my
Tips to Budget Like a Queen. Coming up this Monday the prompt is all about sharing little nuggets on how you declutter your home.
Show and Tell Tuesday hosted by Andrea is always one of my favorites for sharing but also has been a place I’ve found so many new blogger friends. You can find her 2017 prompts
here.
These are just a few of my favorite prompted linkups and you can find my full list of weekly linkups here. Hopefully my layout will get a little more organized with the new blog layout soon!
And, I know all of you know my bestie Holly and I’m sure have been missing her posts. She’s had a busy fall but she’s back so you need to head over to While I’m Waiting and see what she’s been up to! We are going to be partnering with our friend Katy of The Queen of the Kings to bring you a new weekly linkup (hopefully beginning in February) so be on the lookout!
A huge shoutout to all the bloggers out there who host linkups! Blogging in general is a ton of work, but hosting a linkup takes so much dedication.
Wishing you all the best weekend!
Linking today with Erika, Andrea & Narci for Friday Favorites, Karli for Oh Hey Friday and Katie, Tif and Della for High Five for Friday

Loved your budgeting post
yay! Thank you for the all up of where you post! I have been looking out for Andrea's Tuesday post, but missed it! Thanks, and I can't wait to see what you and the queens have in store for us in February! 🙂
Oh I love a new link-up! I love how it gives me food for thought on prompts because sometimes, I set down and have NOTHING to say. — shocking I know 😉
Thanks for the link-up ideas. This weekend, I'm sitting down with my new paper planner and writing down ideas for the blog. I've always used google calendar, but am switching to paper for blogging and a few other things I want to track. Enjoy your weekend!
These are terrific! Thanks so much for sharing! Happy Friday! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Shelly, you're a doll! Not only do I love this post but also want to thank you for giving us Blended Blog ladies such a wonderful shout out!
I love The Blended blog. I also loved your featured post on Budgeting Like a Queen. I am also looking forward to your new link-up. I loved last year's Spiel the Beans and looking forward to this year. Have a great weekend at home!
Shelly, thank you so much for The Blended Blog love! I'm looking forward to your new link up. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Great recommendations! Thanks for sharing them! Loving all the TBB love!! ❤️❤️
Sweet Shelly, so much great stuff here!! Thank you for sharing all of our goings-on at TBB and for being so great about linking-up with us. I am royally waiting to read more about your new link-up! XO
I just signed up for the Blended Blog book club – so excited!
I have got to remember to check out your linkup tab when Im not in my car. You participate in so many good ones!
Aww! Thank you so much for sharing TBB love! I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday!
Great round-up!!
Love this. A virtual book club sounds so cool 🙂

Hi Lisa! We are probably dropping Spiel the Beans and replacing with Royally Waiting. We are hoping to add some prompts to go along with this one too but probably not for every single week. Maybe a monthly waiting on…..and the other weeks just a general linkup. I feel like we need to generate some additional traffic before we try to do a strictly prompted linkup in the future. It just wasn't seeming like it was catching on.
Aww….you are so kind! Thank you for your sweet words.
Girl…please! We all just have different areas that we choose to focus on…and I don't have little kids anymore!!
Yea! Hope you guys love it.
You guys are rocking 2017!
I'm not sure I could do the book club either Shaunacey…it's too much pressure. 🙂 But the rest of the days you guys are rocking 2017!!!
I had been waiting and waiting Sarah and was so glad when I finally realized she shared it!
Haha…I have the same problem Stephanie. I have lots of ideas in my head some days and zero on others. I love interesting prompts.
Hope you are all organized and ready to share! The weather is perfect today for sitting outside and hammering out a great post..just saying. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by to read Melissa!
TBB is knocking it out of the park this year! You guys are such great supporters of the blogging community.
Thank you Jenna! You were one of our biggest supporters of Spiel the Beans and it meant so much!!
Thanks for stopping by Sheila!
TBB is rocking 2017 and creates such a positive community for sharing.
Yea! Let me know how you like it.
YES….please wait until you are not in the car. 🙂 I have the same goal as you for 2017 though…need to explore some new ones out there.
