Family Fun Friday is all about connecting as a family. We feature great ideas for family fun, and things to help moms get things done so they have more time to spend doing what they love to do – be with family!

I have the joy of featuring posts related to family approved recipes. You know, those recipes that your family will be really likely say “yum!” to. Cooking 3 meals a day 365 days a year can seem daunting…but I know that all of your great ideas will help us all in this task of feeding our families healthy meals they will enjoy eating. So, thank you in advance for linking up and using your gifts to encourage others!

Each co-host will also share her favorites from the party on her blog for the following week’s party which just increases your chances of being featured. Each featured post will be pinned by the hostesses so be sure to link up your best!

Featured Bloggers:

This week I’m featuring kitchen basics made from scratch. These are the things that it is easy to pick up at the store, but SO MUCH BETTER to make at home. These recipes inspire me to leave a few more of those packaged items at the store. 🙂 Thank you to all of you who linked up! You are all an encouragement to us as we feed our families! Hope you all enjoy these features and try them out.

Hop on over to Happy and Blessed Home to view features on loving your husband and over to Everyday Family Living for ways to celebrate the Olympics and also over to Early Bird Mom for DIY in the Kitchen Features.
