Simple Lives Thursday, #54

Thank you so much to everyone that attended our first twitter chat.  We had so much fun that we are talking about making this a regular event.  We’re not sure yet… once a month, once every other month?  We also talked about a time that works best for everyone and it seems it might be best to hold it later in the evening when families have settled in for the night.

What are your thoughts?  Tell us, what would you like to see.  Once a month, once every other month?  What time works best for you and your family?

Please leave a reply in the comments below.  That really helps us out!

Back to the hop.  I can’t wait to see what you share this week.

It’s Simple Lives Thursday! My favorite day of the week where you share your tips and recipes for living a simple life. Whichever blog that you choose to link up your post, it will show up on all 5 sites! As a reminder, this blog hop is a way to share with many people your posts on what you are doing to live a simple life. Whether that’s gardening, raising urban chickens, homeschooling, sewing, making your own deodorant, or cleaning supplies… we want to know about it! If you’re into homeopathy, ways to save $ by conserving energy or other ways to live frugally… we want to know about it! If you bike, cook real food, homestead or farm… we want to know about it!
