Shweta Bhatt's candidature is a huge psychological defeat for the Congress even before the first vote is cast.



Congress puts up meek fight against Modi with Shweta Bhatt's candidature

This weekend I'm excited to be co-hosting the Follow Who? Social Weekend Hop with Jay at Crafty Spices. She's another lovely mama who's become a good friend and we have a fab blogging relationship. So it's just natural to want to help her promote her hop. Happy Friday--link up!

Follow Who?  Social Weekend Hop
One of the best things in life is that we always get one day after another, and so on week after week, and we get to hop and hop all over again. Are we ready for another great weekend?

Again much thanks to all that join us every week. You all are wonderful and this hop would not be the same without you. Keep coming, and help us spread the word...

Let's have a fun and social party. This week we have another great or I should say absolutely awesome lassie as our co-host, she is a very out-going person/mom/blogger whom I have come to love and enjoy via the net. Here are her own words:

"Hey there! I'm Kera and I blog at Nugget on a Budget. I write about the normal {and sometimes crazy} happenings in my everyday life as a stay-at-home mom. I have a hubby, a daughter who just turned one, and a puppy who thinks he's human. When I'm not trying to run a household and keep to a budget, I'm running around after our little sassy girl. I've become surprisingly creative in my mommy days--and I recently opened up an Etsy Shop to sell the hair accessories I make for my daughter. I've also began trying my hand at couponing--let's just say I have a ways to go :) I began my blog as a way to document my daughter's life {she's the Nugget}, but it has become SO much more! I still blog for that reason, but also as a way to share my thoughts with others who love to do the same. I'm constantly being inspired by others and I've gained many great friendships and support through the blogging community. I love it."

Please give her a big welcome and make her feel at home.

Remember to come by every week to link, follow, be followed, and like as you like :). #SWHOP

Welcome to Week #4 of the On My Mind blog hop series!
You guys shared some seriously fab posts last week. I can't wait to read about what's taking over your hearts {or possibly your lives} this time around :)

-------------------------


A wonderful Thanksgiving week spent at "home" with my family. Done!
My parents ate up every moment with their little grand-nugget.
{BTW, I'd like to know...at what point do I finally stop referring to my parent's house as my home? I haven't lived there full-time for almost 10 years and I still catch myself doing this all. the. time.}

A super awesome successful Black Friday Online Extravaganza. Done!
Who needs long lines, freezing temps, and angry mobs when you've got all the same deals without leaving the couch? And you get to stay in your pajamas. And utilize Ebates {cha-ching}.
It just worked out better. There was NO WAY I was about to take S out into the crazy...and I feared she'd get the best of Hubs if we left her overnight.
95% of my Christmas shopping DONE. I laugh in the face of full-priced items.


A second first birthday party for the crazy girl for my side of the family to attend. Done!
She's so special to all of them. I love that she'll grow up knowing that.

Christmas lights installed to the front of our house by the ever-talented Hubs. {Almost} Done! 

Now...
I'm kinda in an "aftershock" mode coming off of a week away. It's a legit feeling, right? I just spent a week at a place where I was able to relax, drink lots of coffee {uninterrupted}, watch Christmas movies without the hubby's complaints, and have a couple of doting grandparents and an aunt to chase after S. Bliss.
But now...it's back to the real deal. Paying the bills, cleaning the house, putting up the Christmas decorations. And the tree. Ugh, the tree. I love to decorate it, but it might be a challenge this year. So, no real tree for us! Not with our little whirlwind baby running around and her path of destruction :)

What's been on your mind this past week? Did you experience any post-Turkey Day blues?
Link up anything that's been on your mind. Let it out sista!

{Oh and a thing about Ebates...I've already made $50 just by doing my normal thing and shopping online. If you're interested in getting paid to shop {duh?!}, click here.}
