Final Throwback Thursday - Part 3!


So here it is! The final part of my Throwback Thursday series! This was exciting to go back through all the links everyone shared, and either see things again, or maybe even notice them for the first time! 
I hope you all enjoyed it! Next week, I will go through the last 2-3 weeks to catch up since we came back live!!

Please note we have an update in our hosts for this weekly link up!! Visit us all at the links below!

Yummiest Snickerdoodles: They sure do look yummy! 
This is a must for our Holiday baking list!



Mother's Day Birthstone Necklace: I loved this one when it was first posted! 
I still want to make one!



Grey & White Chevron Dresser Redo: This is one that I MISSED the first time around - and it would be perfect for the nursery! Now all we need is a dresser to redo... 
and a Nursery!




Butterfly Footprints: What a cute idea! From one of our very own hosts as well!



DIY Crown Moulding Shelf: I love this idea!! Another for the Nursery :)



Canvas Rainbow Button Art:
I LOVE all things Rainbow!! (You'll see when I get photos of my Baby Shower posted!)



Greek Yogurt, Berries & Granola Parfait: Sounds yummy.. and healthy!!

Applesauce GF Pancakes: Even though I don't like pancakes, these sound good!



Baby's Name - Easy DIY Project: This will be awesome - when we have a name!!
(I sense a pattern of NOT having things!!)

Throwback Thrifty Thursday - Part 2!

Even though you will notice the live link-up for Thrifty Thursday is back this week, I still want to finish up the Throwback version I started :)

Again I didn't plan ahead and have everything ready, so I am late :) We had an ultrasound today and everything is perfect!! 
I am 24w3d for my due date, but baby is measuring 25w4d, and he was breech today.
I will get a post together with photos and full updates soon!

I am flying to NY this weekend for my baby shower, I am SOO excited! I'll have a lot of airport time, that I plan to catch up on my blog reading and maybe get some posts scheduled ahead of time!


Now, for my Throwback specials, let see what I found from August back through June!



Kids' Kitchen from a Nightstand: I love this DIY project, I wish I were more handy, or that I had a nightstand to DIY ;)


Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp: sounds so yummy!!


Useful tips: because who couldn't use some of these once in a while!


Honeycomb Table Tutorial: this looks fun! One day I will be more crafty LOL


Rhubarb Cherry Jam: There have been quite a few Rhubarb link ups - and I love cherry so this one sounded good!


Peppermint Foot Scrub: I am hoping to get a mani/pedi when I get to NY tomorrow so this one definitely caught my attention :)


Exfoliating Oatmeal Mask: This goes right along with the foot scrub. 
Mmm sounds heavenly :)


Creamy Cauliflower Pasta: This is one recipe I did share and even made at home - it was SO good! I have to remember to make it again!



WOW that was a lot and of course no where near all that were shared! There are still 4 more months to go through until I get the beginning of Thrifty Thursday! I'll do all of that next week!

And if you're not following me yet ~ now would be a great time to start!! Choose from Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Bloglovin, Google Friend Connect, & Networked Blogs!! Give me a shout and let me know you're my newest Friend!!
