Simple things Sunday Number 87

this week’s simple thing:

These past few weeks have been filled with sun, sand and adventure but there really is nothing like coming home. I missed these little munchkins and was so happy to get home to them. My Aussie adventure doesn’t hold a candle to snuggles in bed and an impromptu picnic at the park with the ones I love. 🙂

This party is all about celebrating the simple moments and simple joys that make you smile each week. So grab that camera, snap a photo or two and come share with us each Sunday!


Just a few quick rules to play:
1. Grab a button and include it in your simple things post.

2. Link back directly to your simple things post not your blog/website.
No links to other linky parties, giveaways or craft projects pretty please. 
This linky is all about the photos.

3. Be sure to pop by and visit at least 3 other links and leave a comment.
Leave as many as you can. 🙂
 

I can’t wait to see your photos everyone! I’ll be sharing some of my favs on facebook throughout the week and on the blog Tuesday I’ll share a roundup of photos that caught my eye from the last two link parties so stay tuned!


Also, please remember to stop by as many of the other links as you can each week and leave lots of comments! Comments are the funnest. Everybody likes ’em, so be as generous as you can with the comment love. Thanks a bunch!

    I would love to win the ruched blue floral camera strap. The chevron straps are pretty too, but I need the lens cap pocket – I’m always misplacing my lens cap!

    Love the pics Rebecca & the ones on IG with your hubs. You guys are the cutest ever!!! I tried to buy the book & the accompanying actions yesterday- when I got my email I had two sets of the actions & no book. So I have a message in to the help desk to hopefully work it out. So anxious to read it! Proud of you my friend- so inspiring!

    My favorite items from Bluebird Chic Shop are: Ruched camera strap cover – black and cream damask – black canvas backing and ruched camera strap cover – soft red floral. It was hard to pick just one.

    My wife is an artist and I got her a new DSLR camera recently (which she jumped about) I think the soft yellow with gray canvas backing would match the yellow bag she got to hold her camera. Or maybe the sunburst chevron one… I wouldn’t know, I’m not the artist lol.
