It’s Best of the Welcome party time! A hug and warm welcome if this is your first time joining us!
Happy Friday and welcome from your BOTW weekend hosts! It’s hard to wrap our heads around the fact that another major hurricane is heading toward the US – let’s keep everyone in the southeastern states in our thoughts and prayers this weekend, and of course, everyone impacted by Hurricane Harvey. It has been hard for me to focus on all that’s happening in the world this week, as I’ve been coping with a major challenge in my house – bats! Last weekend, my wonderful neighbors noticed (a lot) of bats flying out of my house at dusk. The exclusion and total house sealing is happening today. I’ve been in full-on freak out mode for five days and am absolutely sleep deprived!
I would love if you could please follow each of our fabulous hosts in some way.

Hi Lisa – You hit the nail right on the head about the past year…it sounds like a Lifetime movie (and not a good one!) I’m keeping my sense of humor, though! ? Thanks for sharing with us last week at BOTW and hope to see you at the party tonight!
Thank you for hosting. I would love for you to party with me at #WonderfulWednesday, #ThursdayFavoriteThings, or #OverTheMoon (Sunday). Enjoy your week!
Bats? Crazyness! Glad you are getting it taken care of! Thanks so much for hosting!
Hi Laurie – Thanks so much for sharing with us last week at Best of the Weekend. At least the bats are gone now…though my friends are telling me they visited here because I love Halloween so much, :). Hope to see you at the party tonight, and have a fantastic Friday!
