Welcome to the weekly Home Matters Linky Party #526

A great place to come, share your blog posts, and make new friends. 

We are so glad you are here with us each week.

The next six weeks or more are going to be a very busy time at my house.  We will be deep in the exterior renovations, having trees removed and brush cleared, and hopefully some landscape improvements.  We also have our first RV trip of the year on the calendar and a baby shower to host.  I am so excited about all these events but also realize that I can’t do everything. 

For this reason, I will be taking the month of May off from scheduled weekly blog posts.  This includes the weekly party.  Joy and Estelle will be keeping the party active during my break.  I realized this week that I have been part of the Home Matters Linky Party host group since 2017! 

And that I have never missed a week or taken a break from hosting. 

So taking a break from a weekly requirement that I enjoy will be a hard adjustment, but one that I hope gives me the space to focus on tasks that need to get done outside of blogging. 

However, you know I can’t just leave things alone, I will be working in the background of my blog, updating older posts, correcting affiliate links, and updating SEO.  Something that I have seriously neglected for too long. My goal is to have the updates finished before the third quarter, and if I am not actively writing new posts for a month, it is a good time to start this project. And make some other design changes in the layout. 

Starting May 1st, the Home Matters Linky Party can be found on Joy and Estelle’s sites, so please remember to bookmark their sites below.  Thank you for understanding.

Now on to this week’s party!  I can’t wait to see you there.

Home Matters Linky Party Guidelines:

1. Please take some time to poke around and visit some of the other links.
2. Please take some time to check out your hosts and co-hosts on social media.
3. We appreciate the variety of blogs on the www; however, the Home Matters Party is for links on matters of the HOME. Please link accordingly.
4. We ask that you do not add other Linky Parties, Blog Hops, or Giveaways–unless you begin the party with a new project, recipe or post.
5. On the same note, please do not add links of an extremist, political or strong controversial nature. (The hosts and co-hosts read each and every blog post linked and will contact you directly if you have linked something that does not fit into the realm of the party.)

With your help, we can continue to grow the Home Matters Party! Thank you!

We are looking for Co-Hosts. Help us Rock this party!
If you are interested, please contact Donna at radforddesignstudio@gmail.com.
