Motivate Me Monday #208 {Block Party}

January 13, 2014 by Kaysi 9 Comments

Hello everyone!  I am SO GLAD that you are here today!!!  So I have to know, have you written 2013 instead of 2014 yet?  I’ve caught myself several times 🙂
How was your week?  The flu has hit our family and it has been rough!  It sounds like it’s going all across the country, so I hope that you are feeling better and good!  I hope that you all staying warm too!  
It's Time for a Block Party! Link up at one of these great blogs and be seen on all four! Making the World Cuter, Sumo's Sweet Stuff, Rae Gun Ramblings and Keeping it Simple

Today I am hosting this great party!  I’m Kaysi from Keeping it Simple.  
 

It’s crazy that I am already thinking about Valentine’s day, since it’s a whole month away.  I made up some Valentines for my sons this week and they were so excited to see them.  They asked me if Valentine’s Day was soon and they were quite disappointing that it’s still a month away :).   I posted a couple posts about it this past week:
10 Valentines for Boys * 9 Easy and Fun Valentine’s Decor

As always, our hosts have been very busy this week creating super cute (and yummy) things!  Here is what they have been up to!

Kitchen Aid Bowl Cover * Visiting Teaching January Message * Knit Head Wrap * Cheater Navajo Tacos
Did everyone survive the CRAZY cold temperatures of the polar vertex this week?  Here are 17 warm soup recipes from last week’s party.  Don’t they all look amazing!  These will help beat the cold!
1) Crock Pot Bean and Bacon Soup
2) Crock Pot Taco Rice Soup
3) White Chicken Chili
4) Loaded Bake Potato Soup
5) Vietnamese Pho Reccipe
6) Chunky Beefy Vegetable Soup (slow cooker)
7) Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup
8) Pumpkin Turkey Chili
9) Corn Chowder 
10) Cor Soup
11) Silky Ginger PB Soup
12) Easy Vegetable Chowder
13) Easy Cheeseburger Soup
14) Best Every Turkey Soup
15) Hearty Turkey Soup

    Thanks for hosting! I get hit with the new year twice in a year, our calendar year and then our numbering system at work. Top that off with a recent name change and check writing can be a nightmare. 😉 Just a Small Town Girl Jen
