These clear furniture leveling shims.

That’s a lot of good information in this post. Good recipes, too!
I have wanted to read The Women, next trip to the bookstore.
Love that Victorian house in London.
Not surprised when reading about Amy Shumer’s experience with Ozempic. I’ve read some medical articles about how they’re finding out the dangers of that medication for weight loss.
Love bowl dinners. The one you posted looks delish. I pinned it.
The Women has been on my TBR list for awhile. I hope to read it soon. Will get it from my library.
Thanks for this weeks links!
No clue what’s going on with your blog but it’s covered in pop ups and ads. There’s no pictures just ads for celebrex, Walmart, snowmobiles Your content is covered. Honestly your blog used to be so fun and now it’s just ads everywhere and no substance. I fear you were hacked because this isn’t the blog I’ve been reading for years.
Brenda thanks for the post. Love the London home. Btw today Wednesday is when I received the email notification for this post. Just thought I’d mention it.
Wow, you covered a lot of topics this week. I especially like all the ones for Valentine’s Day! And the warm cozy blanket!
Love the crossbody! I always choose a purse that has a zipper and a strong strap. How many times have you seen a woman who puts her purse where the baby sits in the grocery cart and turns her back on it to look at something on the shelf? My crossbody really comes in handy caring for the grands and shopping, love it! Thanks for all the good information and pretties to look at today! Take care all!
Happy February Brenda,
Love all of these links. I have a coup of tea and an hour to explore these.
Have a wonderful day!
Those cupcakes look so good. I’ve never gotten into cake decorating but might like to try those roses!
I have one of those fleece blankets and it can be difficult for my washing ms home to spin it out completely. It gets very heavy when wet. But they are so warm.
