Welcome! The Senior Salon Pit Stop is now open!
We invite you to come and take a look at all the wonderful recipes, craft and upcycling ideas in today's line up. Along with thrifting treasures, photography and a wonderful assortment of family friendly articles being shared. I can guarantee that, you will be pleasantly surprised, with all the good stuff you are about to find…so I invite you to come and take a look. And while you are here to visit, I hope you have brought along some ideas of your own to share with all of us as well!
This is one link-up that includes great informational posts for everyone to enjoy, as well as a welcoming platform for bloggers to share their latest content. And with so many family friendly posts being shared, I know you will find something new to inspire you, teach you or simply entertain you!
Personally I am always looking for a new recipe to enjoy or another do-it-yourself project or household idea. And let's not forget all things outdoors-y for some family time together! I can hardly wait to see what you brought to share with us all, for this week's SSPS.
Part of the fun, is seeing what's new!
But make no mistake, we also encourage you to share an older post needing a bit of love and attention! Because a great idea never really goes out of style, it only needs to be shared, once again.
Please share and support by SSPS linking your own unlimited family-friendly posts and then engaging with others through thoughtful comments. We enjoy supporting other bloggers by welcoming a wide variety of content, all family-friendly niches are encouraged.
Please note that any content not aligned with our family-friendly guidelines will be removed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a positive and respectful community for all to enjoy.
Take a moment and meet a new blogger this week!
It is always interesting as well as informative to see what everyone is up to and what they have been creating and working on. Please remember to visit one post for each post that you share, before you leave the link-up.Your visit will definitely make someone’s day brighter and isn’t that the best part of any link-up, or blog hop gathering? To get to know one another? So let’s get started by meeting the crew!
And if you are a blogger, we would love to have you join us as a crew member…
I do have one small favor to ask, after linking please drop a comment telling me your posting/link-up numbers so that I can come and visit your posts and say hello. Thank you for being such a valuable part of SSPS!

I am showcasing Our Grand Lives! Laurie and crew offer some of the best ideas for time with family and more importantly fun times with our littles! It is safe to say, that, for many of us, time with our children and our grandchildren aka our littles are some of the happiest times ever! So thank you Our Grand Lives! We look forward to the next adventure!
Below are my featured posts, from last week's Senior Salon Pit Stop!
Why stop with three? Here are the three five recipes and three five topics that caught my eye from last week's SSPS! I invite you to stop by each post and take a look. All featured posts will be shared to our the SSPS features board, when they contain a pin-able image. Thank you one and all for being a part of SSPS!
Recipe and Food Features:
As a food blogger it is no surprise that I start with food! Healthy delicious food is my daily goal. For myself and for my family. I love getting ideas and recipes from the many posts shared with SSPS! It is always fun, to try new ideas in the kitchen! And nothing keeps family and friends around the table as much as good times and good food shared by all.
Easy Oatmeal cookies, sweet potato fries, cottage cheese pancakes, naturally colored strawberry frosting, and Philly cheesesteak pasta!

Cottage Cheese Pancakes. @yummihaus
One Skillet Philly Cheesesteak Pasta. @recipeideashop
Information and Topics Features:
I also enjoy finding ideas beyond food and recipes to share. Aren't we all trying to enjoy life as much as is possible? Often with limited open time for everything? Even busy, we can learn something new along the way. Like a new craft for our own enjoyment. I hope these ideas will fuel a new passion and sense of creativity in us all.
Come and take a look at reasons to eat the rainbow, old fashioned alphabet sampler, repurposing what you already have, a monthly book link-up and adorable newspaper charcuterie cups!
