We have noticed that quite a few blogs are not linking back to one of the Simple Lives Thursday host blogs (see guideline #2, below). If this is you, please realize that this prevents us from choosing you as a featured blog. Thank you for linking back to us!
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 4 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!
Your Hosts (for the time being, due to hosts taking breaks)
- Wardeh from GNOWFGLINS
- Alicia from Culinary Bliss
- Me!
Please read and follow the Simple Lives Thursday bloghop rules
1. If linking real, traditional and simple recipes, please make sure all ingredients used are whole. Such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes, meats, even sugar. In order to keep the integrity of “nourishing” food, we will delete any recipes that utilize processed, boxed foods. We are definitely not going to be ingredient policeman, however, please note that this is a hop hosted by advocates of the real, local and sustainable food movements.
2. Please link your posts back to one of the hosting blogs. This is a common blog hop courtesy. This link helps build the Simple Lives Thursday community by sending your readers to all of the other participants posts. We all end up sharing and learning from each other.
3. No giveaway away or otherwise primarily advertising oriented posts. Keep your topics to fit our simple living theme of “consume less, produce more.” We will delete posts that don’t fit.

Oh geez… Thursday always rolls around too early…
I know, right?! I feel the same way too right now. There’s always so much to do during the Spring time!
I’m with you two – the weeks just go by faster and faster as I get older. Aye.
Hello darlings!
this week I’ve linked 2 posts. One mine, one a seasonal guest post!
1. the finale (part 3 of 3) as to Why 3 Ways Are Always a Good Idea: Scratch Gnocchi in a green, grassy, super Spring sauce. Mmmmm grassy gnocchi 😉
2. Stacy @ Seattle Seedling has stopped by and offered us her rhubarb oatmeal – breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? Snacks? I’ll take it!
As always, thank you for hosting us!
Good morning to you!
So this week Haydn and I blog a recipe from another blog or cookbook – I chose to do that but not. Instead I asked “where does inspiration come from?”…. a few hours later I had to then reflect, “where did all the rum go?”… oops! Summer-ish Strawberry Mojitos baby!
Thanks for hosting! Today I’m sharing my Get Started on Your Path to Well Being – For Those Suffering from Fibromyalgia post. I hope this is helpful to all those who suffer!
