January flew with our fun giveaway! I am proud to announce that Dachelle who blogs at HideTheChocolate won. Be sure to visit her blog for great homeschooling and parenting posts!
In other #LMMLinkup news, we are saying goodbye to Leah as a host. She did a great job and will be missed, but I am hoping she will continue to link up her great posts on homeschooling and parenting each week.
Now onto our linkup. First let’s

Last Week’s Top Clicked Post!
Get Past Awkwardness of Praying with Your Spouse And Linkup
By Beth Steffaniak at MessyMarriage
Praying more with my spouse topped my resolution list this year. This post fit perfectly and Beth shared some great thoughts on this important issue. Plus, if you don’t know about her Tuesday linkup I strongly recommend it. You will meet a lot of great bloggers.
My Favorite Post of the Week
Magnetic Poetry: A Song in the Night
By Gayl Wright at Words, Photos, and Art

Gayl managed to accomplish two things with her post. She wrote a beautiful poem and introduced a great resource for those who love poetry. I highly recommend you check it out.
Now, it is time to link up to the Literacy Musing Mondays hop!

Linkup Rules:
- Include a link back or the blog hop button linked to this hop on your posts.
- Link up the urls to your posts not to your blog.
- Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
- We also want to be loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this this week! Visit the two posts before yours and at least one other blogger’s post of your choice! I want to see lots of clicks on everyone’s posts. Remember it is also nice to follow them on their social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
- Follow your hosts and co-hosts on their social media.
- Tweet about the link up too.
Linking up with great parties listed on here.
