Hi all! Hard to believe July 4th is just about here…where oh where is this summer going? Yowza….its going by awfully fast. We are taking a little trip this week so by the time you read this I will be happily on my way,  and will be back on Saturday. A little quality family time…we all need it and believe me, I am not complaining one bit! I love any excuse to have no schedule, eat whatever I want, and kind of just “wing it”….no real agenda sounds great to me:) What are you up to for July 4th?

Hope whatever you have in store for the holiday week is fun, relaxing and mostly exactly what you want to do. Hopefully not too much work involved! So I will be back on Saturday but in the meantime, am leaving you with plenty of “reading material”, with a little bit of eye candy, a healthy dose of something to learn, a smidgeon of fashion, a slice of practicality, a wedge of fantasy,  a wee bit of something inspirational, of course plenty of things to make you hungry, and a nice big healthy heap of beauty! Hope you enjoy some of the links that I have enjoyed (one or two of them my own lol). Be back later in the week. Happy July 4th!

ooooo….sweet Teddy bear! Look at those eyes. Tina dear, I am leaving to California tomorrow and will be back on Monday; I even have a job interview on Tuesday for a French teaching position at the high school and if that works out for me, then we’re getting our exposed beams!!!!!!!!

Love all of your links; you are super-duper when it comes to sharing on your blog. Sending you hugs and hopes for a relaxing and quality family trip. LOVE! Anita

Tina, looks like this could keep me busy all weekend long! Thank you for the compilation of so many great links. And how wonderful to see Mr. Teddy here, he is as cute as ever, all seasons!

The dog pictures, too cute. Tina, I only clicked on two links and I am already ready to spend my money. One I can afford- the tote and yes it is the perfect tote (like the blue) and the second one, the yacht I can’t afford, not even to charter, haha. Going to be fun to go through all these, they look amazing. Happy travels to you and yours.

Tina, Tina, Tina…I don’t know where to start…this is yet another of my favorites of your posts – I just bookmarked it to come back to again and again with the wealth of information you have included. Thank you for linking to my post!! And, thank you for sharing all your wonderful suggestions. And, Teddy may just be the world’s sweetest dog.

Have a wonderful vacation and a fantastic 4th!! xoxo

I can happily tell you that two of our grandsons have the Cochlear Implant, being implanted when they were 3 years old and younger. They are now 17 and 15 and can hear and interact as if they weren’t profoundly deaf. They go to regular schools and you would never believe they are impaired. Thank you for that video of the little boy hearing for the first time!
