15th Linky Party Anniversary this month! It was a cold and snowy night in 2011 that I decided I needed to learn something new and started a blog. A couple of months later Busy Monday was first published. And now here we are!!! Today the features include a post, written in Dutch and translated by google to English, on a library subscription in today’s world. (I was surprised to learn subscriptions are the norm in much of the world while free in the US). It is about changes in the way we take in information in the modern era. Definitely a change in the last 15 years! The comments from other places are equally interesting. Topics covered in Busy Monday include yummy to practical, kids to retirement, glamor to survival and more. I love it all and this has been truly a JOY! As we start a new year online with the goal of many more — Thank you all for your support, for sharing your awesome view of the universe from your corner of the world!

Wow, happy anniversary! What a sweet story. 🙂 It’s fun to hear where other bloggers “came from.” I have 2 blogs, and I started one in March 2020… about recipes you can make with pantry ingredients. My other blog is 16+ years old and came from a passion for photos, journaling, and scrapbooking. I love how we can each find our niche in the blogging world. 🙂 Thank you for hosting this lovely link party!
