The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 118

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #118! This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas. A Few Happenings My youngest's volleyball team has won every game since the start of the season. We're so proud of her and her team. We have two more games left this season. This week, someone slammed our side fence with their motorcycle. Thank goodness for cameras! My husband went over to check if the individual was okay, and now we have made arrangements to get them to pay for the damage. It snowed for two days, and we were happy for the moisture.

It was equally delicious.  Congratulations to our featured bloggers Jennifer at Studio 27 showcased her adorable Faux Mini Gingerbread Houses. She explains how she created these charming litt...
