Whether your summer has been stormy, dry with record breaking heat or July doesn’t mean summer in your neck of the woods, I hope that each of you enjoyed celebrating our freedom on Independence Day. Here is another batch of blog spotlights to give you an excuse to stay in the a/c!

Join Sarah’s young family and their life in the Marines in her blog The Adventures of the Christensens.  She shares lots of family photos, product reviews and recipes like Sunshine Baked Eggs.

Here is peek at a Thankful Thursday post:

“It’s Thursday and time to share what I’m thankful for. Over the last few weeks I was given two very kind surprise gifts….I’m thankful for all of the kind people in my life and for all of the little unexpected surprises that make life fun!!”

If couponing is your thing be sure to check out Lipstick, Uniforms and Bare Feet. This military wife shares great coupon deals and other tips for your household.

“I just recently join[ed] a site called Recycle Bank and I wanted to let everyone know about it.  Going green is easier than I thought and this site encourages you and gives you points to win coupons and other free items.”

As we know too well, staying connected with our husbands while they are deployed is hard. And that’s putting it lightly. Packed with family pictures and experiences of a lifetime this mom-of-three uses her blog, Organized Chaos, to stay in touch. Her most recent accomplishment was completing a Triathlon.

“Sunday I completed the triathlon. Sunday was about so much more than a race. It was about more than crossing a finish line. It represented a journey. It was symbolic of hurdles overcome. It provided a sense of completion.” Read the rest here.

As always, be sure to let these ladies know that you stopped by for a visit with an encouraging comment.
