Flashback Friday #6

I totally dropped the ball and forgot to get the Flashback Friday post up!  I wish I could say I have a good reason, like life has been crazy, but it hasn’t.  It’s just the normal stuff.  I’m still not feeling 100% yet, so I’ll blame it on that.  I’ve been feeling better but still not great. 
Anyway, YAY for Friday!  I love Fridays, even though I’m a SAHM.  I hope that you’ll link up a favorite old post with us.  I know you have some great ones in your archives.  So dust one or two off, link it up and get some new love on it!

Flashback Friday #5

What’s Flashback Friday you wonder?  It’s a chance to pull out a favorite post or two from your archives and share them again!  We all have great posts from the past and we don’t want to forget them!  So link them up and get some new love on them.

Ultimate Blog Party 2014

Hi!  Welcome to Many Waters!  I’m so glad you stopped by.  I’d love to have a witty or funny post but the truth is that I struggle to write these intro posts.  Maybe it’s because in real life, in a room full of people I don’t know, I’m shy.  I tend to stick to people that I know.  I do enjoy meeting new people, just more one on one instead of in a big, overwhelming group (does anyone else find these lists of amazing blogs overwhelming?!?!)  I find it hard to talk about myself sometimes or know where to start to make small talk.  So here goes nothing:Many Waters Family Photo

Flashback Friday #4

YAY, it’s Friday!  To make it even better it’s Flashback Friday!  I hope you’ll link up a favorite old post or two with us today.  I’m so glad it’s Friday.  It’s been quite a week for us.  Our van needed work on the rear brakes, The Man & I spent the night in the ER, thinking something was wrong with my appendix (I’m fine!), the truck needed work done, the glass on our front door shattered (so thankful for safely glass!) and I know something else happened too, I just can’t remember.  I’m still catching up on sleep from my all-nighter!  I hope you had a better week than I did!

Flashback Friday #3

I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately and a Flashback Friday fits in nicely with my mood.  Munchkin seems so big these days and she’s growing so fast.  It’s just hitting me that my baby really isn’t a baby anymore.  She’s been a sickie girl and super snuggly.  I’m already sad about her outgrowing Mama snuggles.  I hope it’s not anytime soon!

What is Flashback Friday you ask?  It’s a bi-weekly blog hop where you can link up your favorite old posts that you love and don’t want forgotten!  I’m hosting it with some of my favorite bloggers and a super cool co host.  Before we move on to this week, let’s take care of some old business!  It was really hard to pick my favorites from last time.  I really loved Vanessa’s post about how it’s ok to miss your man when he’s away on Hearts on Guard.  Away is away and it leaves a hole.  My other favorite was Goodbye Cafe by WeeMason Man’s Mom on Adventures of a Wee Manson Man & His Family.  With my mom’s house recently being sold, it was good to read that I’m not the only who has a hard time saying goodbye sometimes.

Flashback Friday #2

Welcome to our second Flashback Friday!  I was thrilled that we had 40 entries.  Thank you so much!  I loved reading all the posts.   It was hard to pick my favorites but somehow I managed.  My favorites from the first Flashback Friday are:

Bloody Mary's Count As Salad {Co-Host}

Welcome to Bloody Marys Count as a Salad # 31



Bloody Marys Count as a Salad

What's with the name?  We named it Bloody Mary’s Count as a Salad, because anything goes in this hop! Need to vent? Go for it! Need to say something snarky? DO IT!  Or do you just want to share your blog and/or a specific post?  We'd love to read it!  Anything you want to share, we want to see it!

And introducing a social aspect of the hop!  Each week we will feature a different social media linkup.  This week is Pinterest!  Link up your blog in the first linkup and your Pinterest URL in the second linkup! 

Of course, there are a few rules, we aren't going for hop chaos here!

  1. Follow your hosts and each weeks special guest co-host.
  2. Link up your blog or specific blog post.  Whatever you’d like to share is ok with us!
  3. Visit 3-4 other blogs and say hello!  Try to be nice and follow those who follow you.  And don’t forget to say hi to your hosts if you are new!
  4. Grab the link up button and put it in your side bar, in your post, or put our link on your link up party page.
  5. Not mandatory, but we’d love to have you share our hop with others.  Tweet it, post about it, or share it on Facebook.  We’ll love you forever if you do… And it might help you grab a co-host spot next week.

Feature Friday

Earlier this week I co-hosted the Countdown in Style hop with Brittnei & April.  It was so much fun! 

The most clicked on post was Losing My Social Media Sanity!! by Tameka.  It’s funny and very true, you should go check it out if you haven’t already.

There were so many great posts that it was hard to pick my favorites!  Here they are:

How cute is this Granny Square Owl Pillow made by Julie at the Sum of Their Stories?  I think I might have to learn to crochet just so I can make it! 

Tangy Sesame Chicken Wings

Michelle at A Dish of Daily Life made these Tangy Sesame wings.  Um, I’m drooling over here!  These look so yummy!

Elisabeth at God Life Happy Wife did something that some people might call crazy…she’s now living in an RV traveling with her husband!  I think it sounds great actually!  I would do the same thing. 

I hope you’ll link up with Countdown in Style this Sunday.  Maybe you’ll be featured next!

Tuesday Top Ten

Welcome to Tuesday Top Ten!  This week we’re sharing ten facts about us.  I’ve gone several new followers recently so a lot of these will be new for them.  If you’ve been a reader for awhile, you might already know these…but maybe I can surprise you too!

10.  I’m an only child.  Growing up it was lonely sometimes but I was never upset that I didn’t have siblings.  As a result, I’m really good at entertaining myself.  Alone time is heavenly to me!

9. I have a cousin, T, that is three years older than I am and she’s like my sister.  I know it’s not the same but I am so thankful that we have a great relationship now (there were a few rocky points growing up.) 

8.  I grew up in New England.

7. I went to college in New York.Many Waters Ho Hoan Kiem

6. After college I moved to China for a year.

5. After living in China for a year, I moved to northern Viet Nam and lived there for two years. 

4. I’m married to a man who worked in a metal can that was made to be submerged underwater.  You have to be kinda crazy to work on/in a submarine and also kinda crazy to marry someone who does it. 

3.  After trying to get pregnant for two years, The Man and I started getting help for infertility. I had an HSG and did one Clomid cycle. After the one medicated cycle we had an unmedicated one.  That’s when we got pregnant.

2.  Munchkin is 15 months old and I thank God for her everyday. 

1. I have baby fever again.  I think a sibling would be good for Munchkin!

Next week, it's only fitting that we talk candy. Your Top 10 favorite candy.

Tuesday Top Ten


I am a girl who loves lists. And I know I'm not the only one!

So I found a couple of friends to work with me on an idea I had, and now we have the Tuesday Top 10!


Here is how it's going to work:
Each week we will give you a topic and the following week you will share your Top 10 on that topic. Easy peasy, right?

Because it's officially Fall, it only makes sense that we kick off Fall with a Top 10 list!

Tuesday Top 10 #1:

Your favorite things about Fall

Link up right here next Tuesday, October 1st!

With your hosts:
Life as I know it,
Many Waters and
Our Funny Little Family

And feel free to grab a button and share us!
