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!

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!

Do stop and visit our Featured Blogger!
Blogging has turned into a wonderful gift of friendship across the highways and byways of life. I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know so many bloggers for the past 20+ years! Yes, 20 plus years. From my days here at Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household. But also with a blog I wrote years and years ago, called Mom's Sunday Café. These friendships and associations offer creative inspiration, delicious food to try, as well as crafts to enjoy. The next step in sharing was a way to say thank you with this fun weekly feature. Each featured blogger will be my guest for two SSPS link-up posts, if you were unable to stop and say hello last week, I invite you to visit this week!
Our Featured Blog/Blogger for the next two weeks is:
Life As Kim.
Kim writes about life, her life, life with the family, and life in her English village. She tells the story of life, and all it's variations, changes, and future happenings with a smile in her heart and in her tone! She is a joy to visit and read it all, and well, to put it bluntly, learn about Life As Kim! I run into Kim and her great sense of humor weekly in a blog sharing group as well as various random visits on my own.
Here are parts from her about page: (but you should totally go and read the whole thing!
Hello there. I'm Kim. I have been blogging since late 2012 and was previously known as Northumberland Mam! We moved from Northumberland to Scunthorpe in the summer of 2019 and started a new life so I thought I had to change the name of my blog too. It made sense.
I'm a stay at home mam. We live in a large village just outside of Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire.
I Love: Bon Jovi, wine, chocolate, my pj's, Chinese food, Twitter, all of the Soaps, sleeping in & shopping online.
I hate. liars, being cold, people who think they're better than they are, not getting enough sleep, housework, rain and broccoli!
Becky is my eldest daughter. She's 21 and works in a care home as a care assistant, it's a job that she loves and I am so proud of her.
Ellie is my 'Little Chicken'. She's 16 years old! Sometimes she likes to think she is older than she is. She's totally deaf in her right ear and has selective hearing in her left one. She is studying electrical engineering at college and is loving it!
Stu. He's my fella. What a man he is. He goes out to work. helps with the housework, cooks, helps with the kids, gets on with my friends, kills spiders & pours my wine.
Seriously, go visit Kim and put a smile on your face! And tell her Melynda sent you!

In cased you missed them, I would like to share these favorite posts from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household.
Now, Let's celebrate these bloggers!
Hold the phone!
I am not at home, actually I am out of country on a cruise with my extended family, woot woot! All three generations of us!
So sorry, but I must confess, I have been having some fun and there will be no features today.
I will however have double features for SSPS #432!
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.
As promised there will be double features for SSPS #432!
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.
And yes, double features for SSPS #432!
A total surprise, you never know what this pick will be!
Which will mean 2 Random Picks also!
Before you go to enjoy SSPS #431, if you were featured, we invite you to share this banner on your blog post, and offer thanks for sharing with us, here at the Senior Salon Pit Stop! You make it fun and successful!
