I have a lot of posts to share from this week, but there was so much goodness this week! Enjoy!
Why I Want to Subscribe to Your Blog and Why I Hope You’ll Subscribe to Mine from Chatting at the Sky
I just love Emily’s post about community in the blogging world, and how important community is to a blogger. (And if you want to subscribe to my blog via Bloglovin’ I’d love that. And I’d love to subscribe to yours, too! Leave the link in the comments and I’ll do it!)
Skinny Easter Egg Cake Balls from Skinny Taste
If you have some extra time in the next few hours, these Easter egg cake balls from Skinny Taste look delicious and they’re certainly adorable!
The Joy of Playing With Your Kids from Life in the Green House
I loved the post my friend Jennifer wrote for our Build ‘Em Up series. Our kids are just waiting for that perfect opportunity to open up to us, and the conversations can be so sweet.
A Relationship from Tales of the Trees
My friend Megan is a beautiful writer and this one is a re-post, but it’s worth the read. Loving Jesus isn’t about “religion.” It’s about “relationship.”
DIY Gold Dot Vase from Hi Sugarplum
A super easy, super cute gold polka dot vase idea. I love gold polka dots!
Great Neighborhood Homes from House of Turquoise
This may be my favorite house ever. Or at least for this week. I think I pinned nearly every image in this post. And it kind of reminds me of the layout of our future house. It’s so open and bright!
Easter Egg Coupons from The Larson Lingo
This is just so cute! They’re little printables to put inside Easter eggs for “coupons” for various things that may apply to your family. So adorable!
What Would You Look Like? by Beth Moore
I absolutely love this post. It touched my heart in a big way and I love how much grace Miss Moore shows us all when she encourages us by telling us that there is no right or wrong way to love Jesus, as long as we’re loving him. Our story doesn’t have to involve giving up everything and moving to another country to be a missionary. We can touch lives right where we are.
Sunday Morning Madness from Glamorous Life of a Housewife
Our family is often hit by the Sunday morning madness that sweet Whitney describes here. And I just love the beautiful way her heart was touched on a Sunday that got off to a bad start.
The Pharisee in Me from Kelly’s Korner
Kelly wrote a gorgeous, honest post about our natural, human tendencies and the way we should strive to be.
The Football Party from The Thomas Family Days
My sweet friend, Michelle, hosted the most adorable party for her little boy. Michelle is so creative and she does every single little project with SO much love. She enjoys being creative, but that never ever takes away from the fun she has with her kids and her joy in celebrating them!
52 Shades of Shay: Makeup from The Shull Family
I am absolutely loving the name of Shay Shull’s new weekly series to feature different parts of her life. 52 Shades of Shay. So cute! This week she showed us her makeup stash!
Hey Erin ~ I’ve followed along with you for a while now via google reader…now I’m making the switch to bloglovin 🙂 Love reading all your posts about your sweet family. I’d love for you to check me out over at Glitter and Golf Balls!

I’m switching to Bloglovin kicking and screaming 😉 But I’m sure I’ll get used to it. My blog is here http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/4962039
I loved those posts by Beth Moore and Larson Lingo, too. And thanks for the link to the Chatting at the Sky post, that was so sweet and encouraging!
I’ve read your blog for awhile now and I just love watching your family grow! I have a blog, but don’t post as often as I probably should. I’d love for you to check it out! 🙂

Hi Erin, I just found your blog this week when I linked up for the build ’em up series. I’ve already enjoyed it so much already! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter! 🙂 http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/3258903/meagans-musings/follow

I am a newbie blogger but come follow me!
Have I told you how much I love this series? I really do- especially reading different blogs that I normally would not know about!
I’m so glad! I am always “starring” things that I want to remember to go back and read again.
Hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter, Erin! I love these posts where you share what you’ve enjoyed reading – some of these have been favorites of mine this week too (particularly Kelly’s post – loved it!) But some of these are blogs who I’ve never visited before, so this is a great way for me to find some new reads. Thanks for sharing:)
I followed you via bloglovin’. Here’s the link to mine if you’d like to follow back:

I love this series that you do – it is always fun to read what someone considers to be the best of recent blog posts. There is so much out there to read so you’ve introduced me to some great people!
I’ve been a longtime follower of your blog, and I’d love it if you followed me!
Thanks so much for including my dot vases in your great round-up, Erin!! Glad you had a fabulous Easter!
Love your weekly Reads posts 🙂

Yay! Thank you so much for linking to me :). I’m so glad you’re into 52 Shades of Shay! XOXO
Hi Erin! I love your blog…it was one of the few to “make the cut” when I decided I was spending too much time on the internet and deleted 90% of the blogs from my Google reader! Still trying to figure out this bloglovin’ thing, but I’d love for you to follow my blog at http://www.courtandstewart.typepad.com.
