Wordless Wednesday: January 6, 2016 (w/linky) - Fun With the Kids
Looking forward to seeing your Wordless (or not so wordless) Wednesday posts this week.
Littles Learning Link Up: Chock-Full of Snowman Fun Round Up
- A seasonal round-up (toward the beginning of the month)
- A guest post featuring crafts, activities, tips, snack ideas or other early childhood topics. (toward the end of the month)
- Posts where I share what I have been up to with my preschoolers and/or early elementary children (including occasional highlight posts where I share how we used ideas that have been linked up here on Littles Learning Link Up).
Each week, I will host a link up, where you can share either what you have been up to recently, or old posts that may go with the theme. Feel free to link up more than one post.
Each week I will continue to feature a couple of posts from those that have been linked up.
I hope you will continue to share your wonderful posts, and I hope you will find something new to try with your child.
It would be great for everyone to stop by and visit the other linked-up posts as well. Check them out, leave some comments, pin those that interest you. Let's make this a real party and socialize with each other.
It's time for this month's Round Up
It appears winter has finally arrived here in northern Pennsylvania. We don't have a lot of snow, but there is enough to make it look like winter. It is the temperatures that have suddenly dropped that scream WINTER though. From temps in the 50s at the end of December, we have suddenly plunged into the teens. BRRRRR. So, yeah, there is snow out there, but I am not in any way, shape, or form in any hurry to get out there and freeze while the children play in it. Seems like the perfect time to share a round up chock-full of snowman crafts and activities (for inside the house).

I is for... In Review (Top Posts from 2015)
Cristi from Through the Calm and Through the Storm and Meg from Adventures with Jude are hosting this great weekly party called Blogging Through the Alphabet. All are welcome to join in, just make sure to keep your posts family-friendly. I am determined to stay faithful this time around. I might not always post on the same day of the week, but I have every intention to post something each week.
I'm stepping away from the theme I have been using these last couple of months. I decided to do an "In Review" post to share my most popular non-giveaway posts from 2015. I have enjoyed reminiscing, and I hope you will too. Here are the posts that had the most views each month.

A Word For 2016
Happy New Year! It's that time of year again. Time to share a "Word of the Year." This is something I have been doing for the last two years, and let's just say, last year didn't go much better than the year before. I was hoping to focus on Diligence. As usual, I started out strong, but I lost my oomph very early in the year. I thought about using Diligence again, but the hubby advised me not to. As I recently decided to work on losing weight and getting healthy, I decided my word for 2016 will be:
Healthy
I was given the Trim Healthy Mama book last year and just couldn't get into it. This year I am determined to finish reading the book and implement the ideas. I even found a "Quick Start Guide" over on Gwen's Nest to help me get started while I am working my way through the book. I started exercising again this week and have been doing me best to eat better (though last night was a bust).
I will be sharing my progress over on my poor neglected weight loss blog, Turn My Life Around. I may even put up a monthly linky again. Well, last year I only got the linky up once, but no one linked up, so I sort of gave up on it.
So, would you like to join me in this journey? You can start by linking up your Word for 2016 post below. Then you can stop by Turn My Life Around to share how your year is going at the beginning of each month.
Let's get this new year started on the right foot!

Throwback Thursday Blog-Style #80: December 31, 2015
Welcome back to...
I know, I know, Throwback Thursday seems to be all about sharing pictures from the past, great memories that mean something to you, that you would like to share with others. At least that is how it appears to me. Throwback Thursday wasn't something I was participating in, and then I came up with an idea.
I thought it would be great fun and a help to my blog to share old content, but not just any old content. Each week I will share an old blog post from a previous year, any year, BUT it has to be from the current week (for example, something I've posted around December 31st, from any previous year) I will go in, edit the post if needed, add a pinnable image if I don't already have one, and share it on Facebook.
I have reviewed some great products in the past (and continue to do so). I thought it would be a neat idea to choose review posts this year and highlight some of these great products again.

Would you like to join in? You do not need to edit your past post in any way, you don't need to create a pinnable image, though it couldn't hurt, in fact it will help your blog traffic to add quality pinnable images to your posts.
Just go into your archives, choose a favorite post from this current week from any previous year, and link it up below. (If you don't have anything from this current week, it is still okay to link up with a post from a previous year around this time.)
I will be pinning posts to my appropriate Pinterest boards and will be randomly selecting a Featured Throwback Thursday post to share next week. Just a note, I will be sharing a picture from your post if you are selected as the featured post, but I will link back to your post. I will ALWAYS give credit and link back. By linking up you are giving me permission to use your picture in the post.
