Welcome and thank you for visiting Farmhouse Friday 443. I know you have lots of other things you could be doing. Sometimes I feel guilty scrolling through Instagram or sitting down to read a book or magazine. But not this weekend – it’s all about me! LOL.
You aren’t going to believe this, but it’s true! I woke up this morning with the biggest grin on my face. I was having a dream where my oldest and I were chatting about one of his friends. During the story he was telling me, I said, “That’s awesome.” Then he said – actually you’re awesome.
I know it was a dream because that would never come out of his mouth. On a rare occasion, he’s said I love you, too but that’s it. Anyway, the dream has already made my weekend. Ha! I guess I’m craving attention from my kids, or maybe someone needs to step up with words of affirmation around here, since that is my main love language. 🙂
Enough about my adult kids and me. What are your plans? Please let me know in the comments!
On May 25th, those of us in the U.S. are to remember, honor, and express gratitude for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. So the theme this week will be the colors red, white, and/or blue. Even our friends outside the U.S. can post something in any of those colors. It will be one big, beautiful link party!
Our theme last week was Mothers. Thank you for giving me lots of inspo for the features. I loved it!
FARMHOUSE FRIDAY 443
Want to make mom something she will treasure over and over again? Try a handmade candle inside a piece of vintage porcelain. You can find the DIY at Masterpieces of My Life. You still have time to make one, and you might as well make one for yourself.
Laurie and Laura over at Our Grand Lives shared an easy activity to do with the littles for a fun gift for mom. You’ll want to see the photos and check out the details so you can make some too. They are so handy! And full of love.
Sometimes moms don’t get the day off, but want to have fun anyway. Well, Sam has a fun cactus craft for the kids. Find the details and other ideas at Simple Everyday Mom. And don’t forget to pin it!
Libbie at A Life Unfolding has a great idea for celebrating mom and not getting stuck in the kitchen! I love this idea! Pop over so you can see for yourself how to create a beautiful Mother’s Day brunch!
Remember, for a chance to be featured, this week, you’ll want to post the theme, which is anything red, white, and/or blue in honor of Memorial Day coming up!

Cindy,
Great dream but a Mom of sons knows that is usually not reality…I am lucky in that my one son will actually post on FB about how he feels and wrote a beautiful piece for my Birthday about me…I printed it out and framed it…
Happy Mother’s Day!

Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful party!! I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into it along with visiting all the links!! I hope you are having a great week!!

I’m still hanging on to it. And I totally forgot to tell him yesterday! I was having so much fun just having all of the kids around that it didn’t dawn on me. Oh well, there’s always my birthday. 😉 Thank you Michelle. I think you are awesome too!
Happy Mother’s Day, Cindy! Thank you for the feature this week, and I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s Red, White, and Blue inspiration. 🙂

Me too! You are so welcome Libbie. I loved your yummy looking and beautiful post. ANd we all could use some “easy” in our lives. Hope you have a wonderful week. Thank you for linking up.
Happy Belated Mom’s Day! “They will rise up and call you blessed”…yep, that’s a dream;) Actually, my big kiddos write very nice notes in the cards they give me…if they remember to get a card:( I took a nap in the hammock & then enjoyed supper at home with the kids. Then they indulged me and looked through my trailer full of old junky furniture:) Yes, hooray for the r, w, and blue!

Aww, that sounds like an amazing day and your kids sound awesome!
Is it sad that your quote/verse reminded me of my favorite Christmas movie The Bishop’s Wife before Prov. 31?! LOL.
And I’m already excited to see all the patriotic ideas this week! Have a great week my friend.
