The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 105

 Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #105! This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas.

Happy Friday! How is everyone doing? While I'm at it, how's the weather where you are? Our temperatures are starting to cool off; tomorrow, they say our high will be in the 60s.

 We're still seeing a few hummingbirds at the feeder, and I recently made a ladybug house so that if any want a place to stay when the weather gets colder, they can move right in. I've never had one myself, but I did some research before building it. It's essentially a bug hotel. They have the cutest bee hotel at our local nature center, too. So it helped me with a few different ideas.

I hope you are all doing well, and if I haven't told you lately, thank you so much for joining the party each week. I appreciate all of you! Now, onto the wonderful featured posts.

Congratulations, featured bloggers


Two Chicks and a Mom shared a recipe for Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup, and I honestly can't wait to make some this fall and winter. I'm looking forward to a few comfort dishes. Head over to check out their recipe. 

HoneyBears and SydneyBeans shared a post, - Ninjas' 50th Birthday'; Whistler, Vancouver Island, and Kingfisher Resort plus Island Treats. Head over and explore how they celebrated a birthday and other fun activities. 

Drugstore Divas shared a recipe for frozen strawberry lemonade. I think I'll make this on our next grilling day! It looks delicious and refreshing!

 Krafty Planner shared her post, Planning 2026 with the Everything Planner. And honestly, I love this! She designed it around the P.L.A.N. everything philosophy. Head over and learn more about it and how it could help you live more intentionally.

All featured posts will be pinned on Crazylittlelovebird's Featured Pinterest Board.

    A ladybug house? I didn't know those existed (other than my own house, where they like to live, lol). How adorable that would be. :)

      Lisa, I know, right? Haha, yes, they sure do. Lowe's actually has some for sale right now, but I wasn't sure about the ones they have. So I took a butterfly house, and my husband customized the entrance, and I painted it and whatnot. We will see if they will even use it, or if they will just hide in the foliage over the winter like they normally do.

    Stephanie, thanks so much for the visit and the link=up! I love the idea of a ladybug hotel, we have several "wild areas" on our property that we do not mow, water or mess with in any way. They are set aside for the bugs. Plus I have a habitat where bugs of all kinds can take up residence, and a special house for Mason bees. But I can see a ladybug hotel in my future, thanks!

      Melynda, I love that you have an area in your yard that doesn't get mowed, intentionally leaving that for the bugs. How wonderful. Love that you have a special house for Mason bees. This is my first attempt at a ladybug house. I hope it can help some of them out, at least. Thank you for sharing with us!

    Thanks so much for the party, Stephanie. Our hummingbirds are thinning out, too. I think it's breaking my husband's heart, as he just loves to feed them every day! I love the idea of a ladybug house!

      Pam, you're very welcome. Aw, I can sympathize with your husband. I adore the hummingbirds and love watching them. We are down to just a few. Thank you, I'm hoping the ladybug house works.

    Summer is still around in our neck of the woods with low 100 degree weather here in Tucson. Lucky you with 60 degree weather tomorrow. My shares at this fabulous party #105 are 11, 12, and 13. Enjoy and be well. Nancy Andres @ Colors 4 Health

      Oh, that Tucson heat! I remember it all so well. My mom lives in Sierra Vista, and so I visited Tucson quite a bit. Have a great weekend.

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 145

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #145! I’m so happy you’re here! This is a warm and friendly gathering where you can share your amazing ideas—whether it's tasty recipes, fun family activities, creative crafts, home projects, or any other joyful inspirations. If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! Happy Friday! I hope you are all doing well. This week was a little rough. It started with my husband having a cough, sore throat, sneezing, and whole-body aches. Of course, that was passed on to the rest of us, but we have been so fortunate to just have a sore throat. This calls for plenty of hydration, vitamin C, and occasional medication. I hope you all had a nice week. Just yesterday, the weather reached 102 degrees! It definitely was hot out. Now, onto the party, we have some wonderful featured posts to share this week. Thank you to everyone who joined last week, and if you are new here, welcome! We're so gl...

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...

This is a warm and friendly gathering where you can share your amazing ideas—whether it's tasty recipes, fun family activities, creative crafts, home projects, or any other joyful inspirations. If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! Happy Friday, blogging friends! How was your week? Last week, we celebrated my husband's birthday, and I made an ice cream cake for the occasion. While we were shopping, our youngest daughter found a delicious blend of coffee and cookies and cream ice cream.  It was definitely a hit! Since my husband loves coffee, the combination of coffee flavor with cookies and cream was just perfect. What's your favorite ice cream flavor?   As always, we had wonderful posts shared at last week's party. I took the time to visit every single post, and I always enjoy connecting with all of you.

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 89

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #89! This party provides a platform for sharing inspiring content such as recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home decor, and other uplifting  ideas. Hello everyone! I hope all is well. If you celebrated Mother's Day, I hope it was lovely. How was your week?  Our week was busy.  We had doctor appointments, finals at school, and my husband has been working on a backyard project.  I've included a collage of our week.  My youngest used my phone camera to take pictures of our blooming clematis vines—one is purple, and the other is deep pink.  My husband received a guitar from his boss at work. He now has this one along with his bass guitar.  I've only seen one hummingbird at our feeders. They're so quick; there may be more.  I've been enjoying my time out on the back covered porch. I added a few new outdoor curtains to the space.  My youngest and my husband made me homemade apple bread on...
