Hello, lovely friends! Welcome to this week’s Karins Kottage Linky Party. Each week, I am continually amazed at the creativity flowing from all of you. From stunning recipes and decor ideas to fabulous tablescapes and more, the ingenuity and beauty you bring to this community is simply inspiring. I’m thrilled to highlight four incredible bloggers who have caught my eye this week. Let’s celebrate their talents!

Summer Fun at the Kottage
Here at the Kottage, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the summer activities with my grandkids. From pool days to creative playtime, keeping a 5 and 3-year-old busy is a full-time job! My youngest daughter, her hubby, and their two girls are living with us right now, and it’s a joy to have the house filled with their laughter.
Father’s Day Dinner
We had an awesome Father’s day dinner in our backyard with my sister and brother in law. My hubby grilled steak and tuna. It was deeelish!
Exciting News and Latest Posts
I’m thrilled to share that I am one of six finalists for the Perfect Porch contest in American Farmhouse Style Magazine! This is a dream come true, and I would be incredibly grateful if you could cast your vote for me here.
Also, don’t miss my latest recipe: scrumptious leftover pork tacos. They are quick, easy, and absolutely delicious! Get the recipe here.
Thank you for being part of this wonderful community. Your creativity and support mean the world to me. Until next week, happy blogging and stay creative!
Thank you for the feature, Karin!
You aren’t kidding when you say having your two granddaughters – 5 and 3 – being a full-time job! Whew, I had just one 3 yr old yesterday and was SO tired with her non-stop play. Your Father’s Day celebration looked so good! And I just voted for your porch. I hope you win!
My garden has been updated for the year, only watering at this point in these high temp days to keep everything alive!
Happy summer solstice!
