Welcome to the Weekend Wind Down, a weekly party where we get to see all the fabulous things you've been up to! In case you aren't familiar with our party, here is the scoop: we like to learn new things, visit new blogs, and see what you all have been up to recently! We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that do link back, we will pick a handful of posts to feature. I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers! Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier! Let's get on with the party! Our favorite links from last week: The Real Problem of the Christian Life via Wasteland to Graceland Storm Trooper Star Wars Cupcakes via The Jenny Evolution Veggie Chili via H
