Make it Pretty Monday – Week 63

by 46 Comments

Hello World!  The Dedicated Daughter starts kindergarten next week.  So, this week I’ve got so much to finish up to get her all ready.  She’s super excited!  I’ll be sure to post pictures sometime next week of her first day.  

Okay, the kittens will be 7 weeks tomorrow.  It is almost impossible to get a good shot of the active trio.  They have now discovered the stairs.  The chasing up and down has ensued.  

It’s so easy to fall in love with each one of them.  

Okay, on to the party.  I think you will really like the features this week.  I completely enjoyed looking through the link-ups.  With that said, welcome to Week 63 of:
Make it Pretty Monday

Pretty Lisa shared some beautiful shots of the breathtaking seaside town of Harwich Port, Massachusetts on Cape Code.  To take the tour, walk on over to Helene’s Legacy.

1. Link up anything Family friendly…DIY, decor, crafts, recipes, gardening, shopping finds, sewing, furniture transformations. inspirational stories, and beautiful photography.

  

2.  If you are participating in Make it Pretty Monday, be sure to link up your “permalink” post and not your general blog address.

    So happy to be back in the party again this week Kathryn. I've spent the past week moving from Blogger to WordPress and trying to figure things out. Ugh! Thank you for hosting and blessings to you, Patti

    So many great cute ideas! I loved that refurbished dining room set. Awesome! I am pretty much engrossed in getting four elementary aged kids back to school next week. Aside from our regular deep cleaning project we haven't done anything else. But it's always great to get inspired!
