Home Matters Linky Party #582
Welcome to the weekly Home Matters Linky Party #582
A great place to come, share your blog posts, and make new friends.
We are so glad you are here with us each week.
This week, I came across an Instagram post from House Beautiful about the exploding Summer trend called “Nonnamaxxing”, and it stopped me midscroll the moment I saw it!
Because, yes, I am a Nonna to my grandkids, but not the fancy Italian pronunciation of it. No, mine is the Southern drawl kind that sounds like my name, Donna – with just the N-sound at the beginning.
I had to find out more about this trend and what it means.
What I found explains exactly how I have been feeling lately. House Beautiful describes it as “all about enjoying the simple things in life, and designing our homes to match that sentiment”. It’s more about filling your home with things that bring you joy every day, and filling your days with those activities that make you smile.
Well done, House Beautiful, you have nailed the idea perfectly and with exactly the thoughts that I have been contemplating for weeks!
So, now that we are entering the Summer months and I just finished my deck makeovers for The One Room Challenge, I plan to enjoy the therapeutic activity of porch sitting, just like my grandparents did, as much as possible.
My goals this Summer are evolving away from chasing algorithms and clicks toward what has been quietly pulling at me for some time. And you might notice a gradual shift in my blog posts, too, as I lean into home life and what it needs to be now.
Thanks for visiting the blog and sharing your creative endeavors and delicious food posts with us. I look forward to browsing through them every week.

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

Home Matters Linky Party Guidelines:
- Please take some time to poke around and visit some of the other links.
- Please take some time to check out your hosts and co-hosts on social media.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

The New Role Of The Blog Link Party



I am also a “Nonna” to my grandchildren, but prononuced the Italian way! One grandchild does also call me Grandma–she like both names. Have a Happy Month of June!
Hi Donna,
Thanks so much for the awesome feature for my Strawberry Fluffy Cream Dessert. I really appreciate it! Hope you have a fabulous week, and thanks so much for all the parties!

Donna,
I am a Mimi but Nonna is pretty common here because this area is rich in Italian heritage and Nonna is grandmother in Italian….There is a resurgence in “Grandma Crafts” like crocheting, knitting and sewing…And Grandma Chic is the decor trend now too…
For today’s party, I am linking up # 15, 16 and 17!!
Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful party!! I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into it along with visiting all the links!! I hope you are having a great week!!
Hugs,
