I've another whopping party for you with 10 themes on top of the 150+ themes that are already in the Mommy Archive ...
... and this week something completely new for you to have fun with ...
This week's ten themes are ...
- Lamb - all your fave recipes ...
- Drinks - your top tipples whether alcoholic or totally healthy ...
- Doors, Halls & Porches - inspirational ideas, makeovers & cleaning tips that make the entrance to your home memorable ...
- Fatherhood - everything about daddies ...
- Kids Apps - you and your kids favourite electronic games & apps ...
- Swimming - teaching your kids to swim and swimming fun & safety once they've learnt ... I know we were meant to have this last week but I forgot the linky, sorry :-(
- History - all things old from home schooling ideas for history lessons, family history posts, trips to museums, re-enactments the lot ...
- Sewing Tutorials - sewing tips & tutorials whether for beginners or advanced ...
- Mommy Reads - your book reviews, best loved book lists, book club etc posts ... but this one is for mummies only, no kids books allowed :-)
- Give Aways - advice on dos & don'ts of hosting a giveaway on your blog ...
PLUS you can keep adding to the link-ups for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines and Easter ...
PLUS if you really want to party + can't find a theme for your posts you can link up in the Lucky Dip section at the bottom of each party ....
AND once you're linked up, take one more minute to help me write a list ...
Now you know how much I love a good list or 10 right?
But lists are best if lots of people help, so each week I will invite you to add your top tips to a list I will then post about. Everyone who tips will get a shout out and a link back in the post I write so there will be blogging benefits to the fun :-)
This week's list is how to make perfect pastry ... you can link back to your posts in the list but tips must be tips not blog post titles ... I will be a real meanie about any that aren't tips!
My Favourites
This very cherry ice-cream from Becoming Alice looked absolutely scrumptious.
And as we're planning a big family foraging trip at the weekend for blackberries, damsons, crab apples and elderberries I loved all the wonderful preservation and fall posts including ..
- Preserving peaches from Apron Strings & Other Things
- How to make raspberry jam from Northern Cottage
- How to preserve vegetables from Summer Acres
- Crock pot apple butter from We Made That
I am a big fan of home made toys and thought these trucks from Lalymom using fruit pouches as wheels (how clever is that!) and these simple music shakers from Danya Banya were great.
Finally, I loved three wonderful posts but completely different posts on friendship from Mrs Shilts, Beauty Through Imperfection and Oh Mrs Tucker
Thank you so much to everyone who shared ...

Hot Link Ups!
You get clicks & pins when I include links from a theme in my posts not from the party itself.
The big idea is that when people read my posts they are interested in that topic and so are more likely to click on your links 'cos they're relevant.
I include Mommy Archive links in all my posts so it's worth adding your links to old themes as well as the party.
Going forward I'll give you a list every week of which Mommy Archive link-ups I have included in posts in the last week and am about to include so you know what's hot ...
This week's hot link-ups are swimming, Pinterest, bathrooms, children's books, halloween and snacks PLUS next week I will be sharing potty training, pregnancy health, fall fun and preserves links in my posts!
And just so you know my best performing link-ups that deliver clicks week in, week out are small cakes, breastfeeding, science and outdoors ... science for example averages over 50 clicks per link!
Buttons
I would love for you to link back with my button or a text link ... and if you're featured either at the party or in a round-up please do grab a featured button ...
Right after all that, let's get on with this week's party :-)
