Hello awesome readers! I have joined forces with 3 other bloggers to host a NEW Weekend Link Party!

This party goes LIVE every Friday night at 5PM CST and goes through the entire weekend.

Your project will be featured on 4 blogs!

Here on Southern Mess Moms as well as:

Lydia’s Flexitarian Kitchen

Mommy Mentionables

Simply Swider

 Before we start, here are the rules for the linkup…

• Linkup any of your fabulous DIY projects, old or new.
• To keep the content fresh, do not linkup the same project each weekend.
• Anything goes as long as it’s something that YOU created or a project you’ve completed.
• No giveaway posts please.
• Visit a few of YOUR favorite posts and leave a comment.
• Lastly, have fun & get INSPIRED!

Each host will be picking their favorites and announcing them before the next hop, so remember to check back and see if you’ve been featured!

In order to be featured, you MUST include a link back to the blog you linked up from. You can do this by either including a text link from your post or grabbing a hop button and placing it on your hop page or sidebar.

ONLY THOSE WHO LINK BACK WILL BE FEATURED.

I was asked to be a part of sharing and promoting this amazing story and giveaway. Those of you that know me personally or have kept up on Facebook know that recently a friend of mine went through something that I honestly don’t understand and would never wish upon anyone. They lost their 2 1/2 year old son to a brain tumor…a tumor that they didn’t even know existed until the day before his passing.

So when I was asked to participate in this I just couldn’t help but say yes. I hope that the coping techniques and determination in this story can help people that are going through similar situations.

And now for a few words from Lisa (Guest poster):
