Happy August, dear readers and blogging friends!
Can you believe another month has flown by? It feels like just yesterday, we were welcoming July with open arms. Now, as we step into August, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia.
It’s almost that time when summer begins to wind down, but there’s still plenty of sunshine and fun to be had. Let’s make the most of these precious weeks! Whether you’re soaking up the last rays of summer, planning a getaway or family gathering, or simply enjoying the quiet moments, I hope this month brings you joy, peace, and inspiration.
To all my fabulous blogging friends, let’s continue to support each other, share our passions, and build a thriving online community. Here’s to another month of creativity, growth, and connection.
What are your plans for August? Share your summer adventures and goals in the comments below!
I wish you all a wonderful month filled with happiness and fulfillment.
Warm Wishes,
Paula

Paula, thanks so much for the party! We have a mini vacation planned next month. I hope that August treats you well. Have a great week.
You’re so welcome Steph. Have an Awesome Mimi vacation.
I’m thinking about revamping my garden area, Paula. I think I may exchange pots of vinca with pots of ivy.
That seems like it would be a nice change up.
My oldest son is coming to visit, and we always have lots of family time all together when he’s here. Plus we’ll be celebrating his birthday and mine. Happy August!
Happy August and Happy Birthday to you both. Mine is today.
I don’t think we’ll get cooler temps in August, but I’m already looking forward to when that does happen. I just went for a morning walk at 8:30 and the heat index was already 93. Time for a shower! 🙂
Oh wow! We had a few cooler nights and mornings this week like 63 and it felt so good.
Good morning, Paula! Thank you so much for featuring my post on parenting. What a sweet blessing!
It looks like a busy August for us. We have a dear friend in Florida who will probably go home to be with the Lord soon. Of course, it’s sad for all of us here but he is ready and at peace. My husband will do the funeral when that time comes. While we’re in Florida, we’ll drive up to Jacksonville and see our daughter. Then my husband needs to have shoulder surgery. So it does look busy. Many blessings!
It’s my pleasure to feature your post. It was one of the most viewed. Your August sure does sound busy. I’m sad to hear about your friend. And wish you a blessed visit with your daughter.
Paula, this is such a fun and friendly place to visit! Thanks for hosting, I sure appreciate it. Melynda @scratchmadefood!
Thank you and you’re so welcome.
WOW, thanks so much for the honor and featuring of the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake recipe this month.

You are so welcome Esme’. It’s my pleasure to host. I get to visit with so many friends.
I was so sad to flip the calendar over to August. Summer is always so short and winter is always so long. Thanks for the party.
Me too Amy I agree summer is so short and winter to long.

Dropping by from #ChasingMYLife and always happy to be here. Wishing you a WONDERFUL weekend ahead. I brought CAJUN CABBAGE, LEMON TIRAMISU and HAWAIIAN STIR FRY PINEAPPLE BOATS.
Tammy I’m so happy to see you 🙂
Yes, let’s enjoy these precious weeks of warmth and sunlight! I’m taking a trip with my husband to Badlands NP in a few weeks and looking forward to it. I always feel like summer ends in August because that’s always been “back to school,” and we talk about going back to school “in the fall.” But a friend reminded me that summer goes all the way past the middle of September, so that helps me feel like August isn’t an “end.” 🙂 I’ve shared posts 117, 118, and 119 this time. Off now to visit and comment on 3 other posts. Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful linkup!
Have an awesome time on your trip. I’m always happy you’re here my dear friend.
As ever, thank you friend for your tender heart and open arms. It’s always fun to drop by and see what’s happening!
You’re so welcome 🤗. It’s my pleasure to host and visit with friends. I love that you always stop by my place.
Happy August, Paula! We are hoping to spend lots of time at the lake during August and we’ve got a short getaway planned for the end of the month, too! Looking forward to savoring these last few weeks of summer! As always, thanks for hosting this special monthly link up! It’s always one of our favorite places to visit!
Happy August back atcha. It’s my pleasure to host and visit with friends ❤️
Thank you for another GREAT party full of inspiring ideas and recipes. I brought my SPICY ORANGE CHICKEN, CREAMY BASIL CHICKEN and CARAMEL CHICKEN. Have a wonderful weekend!
Paula, as you can see I am WAY behind on commenting. I hope your month has gone well. I can’t believe it’s mid-August and while I usually look forward to fall, I have mixed emotions about this one coming because it promises to be so busy. One day at a time is my continual motto! Hugs, friend.
Happy Monday! I’m sharing 194, 195, and 196 this time. You’ll recognize 194 as one of the recipes from Max’s fall adventures. 🙂 Enjoy the sunshine this week! Thanks so much for hosting this fantastic linkup. I’m off now to visit 3 other posts that have been shared since I was here last. 🙂
Thank you Paula, for another great month!
It’s my pleasure Melynda🙂
