Finer Things Friday: Introducing Making Memories Monday, a Reason to Celebrate Monday!
Tuesday is for gratitude; Wednesday is for sharing ideas that work; Thursday is for training children, discussing books, or giving thanks; and Friday, as if Friday needs something more, is for sharing in the finer things, but what about Monday?! Monday is for meal planning?!
Alright, meal planning is important. We do eat better when I actually get around to meal planning for a given week (which isn’t all that often)… but honestly, I don’t get all that excited about meal planning… in truth, I dread it… almost as much as I dread Mondays! And, I KNOW I’m not alone in my disregard for Mondays! Know how I know? Because I actually conducted a poll on Facebook… and while one person did in fact say Mondays were her favorite day of the week (because her kids headed back to school), overall, Mondays were by far the least favorite day of the week!
So, I started to think… Mondays need something different: Mondays need something that gives me a reason to look forward to the end of the weekend and the start of the new week. Mondays need something to make me smile, or giggle, or laugh out loud! But what, you ask? Well… what I decided Mondays need is A NEW WEEKLY BLOG CARNIVAL! Mondays need Making Memories Monday! And so, starting this Monday, April 19, 2010, Adventures in McQuill-land will host Making Memories Monday… and thanks to Char at Delight Designs, we even have our very own banner to mark the occasion! See?! Isn’t it Fantastic?!
Now, Jennifer, you may be thinking, what exactly is Making Memories Monday? Well, I’m so glad you asked. Making Memories Monday is your chance to share a memory from the past, a story from the present, or your efforts to fill your children, your grandchildren, or yourself with happy memories for the future. Come on, I know you have a memory or two worth sharing! You know, those beautiful memories that when they come to mind, you can’t help but smile… NO MATTER WHAT! Well, on Mondays, we could all use a few of those smiles… so please join us!
It’s easy. Here’s what you do. I’ll try to have the Making Memories Monday MckLinky up and running by 10pm each Sunday night. You write your post, scan your photos, and link back to Adventures in McQuill-land so that your readers can find us and join in, too. Then hop over to Adventures in McQuill-land, link up with MckLinky, and take a minute or two or five to share in the memories of others. Don’t have a blog? Feel free to join in the fun of sharing a few of your memories in the comment section of the Making Memories Monday post!
Remember:
- Please leave a link back to Adventures in McQuill-land on your Making Memories Monday post!
- Add your name to MckLinky at Adventures in McQuill-land and enter a 2-3 word subject to give blog hoppers an idea of what we’ll find at your post. Like this: Jennifer (playing dress-up).
- AND… Please be sure to link to your individual Making Memories Monday post, not your home page. This makes it easier for blog hoppers to find your shared memory!
Memories that make you smile… even on a dreary Monday…
now that’s a Finer Thing!
Hope to see you at Making Memories Monday:
Come share an old memory or two
and create a few new ones together!
