Happy Monday everyone and Welcome to our first Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop of 2014! Hope everyone has had an amazing start to their new year! I still can’t believe that it’s already the year 2014! It feels as if last year came and went with the blink of an eye. Well, here is to an amazing start to our year!
A Thoughtful Spot is a place for you to share your amazing family friendly posts, arts & crafts, educational ideas, recipes, and anything fun you can think of! This Blog Hop is inspired by the one and only Winnie the Pooh character in the classic A.A. Milne children storybooks. Brought to you each week by Enchanted Homeschooling Mom, Something 2 Offer, Ironic Adventures, Me and Marie Learning, Montessori Nature, and ABC Creative Learning.
We do hope that you will visit our neck of the magical woods every week and take a quick rest by the tree on the tree stump while you read everyone’s blog posts that they have so thoughtfully shared with all of us. The posts are presented below in no particular order except that the number one bee always gets here first because it is powered by the most “clicks.”
Here are some of my favorites from last weeks link up! Make sure to stop by and check them out 🙂

Here at the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop we know how hard everyone works to make the holidays special for their families. As we work hard for our families sometimes we tend to forget about a little time for ourselves here and there. To help make those times we can steal ourselves away for a few quiet moments we would like to offer everyone the opportunity to win a $30 gift certificate to Bath and Body Works. Hopefully you can pamper yourself a little or make that quick quiet moment that much more relaxing after make the holidays special for your loved ones.
The winner will be randomly picked by Rafflecopter and will be notified by Enchanted Homeschooling Mom via email and posted here. This giveaway is open to all people ages 18 and over with an active USA address for delivery (United States Domestic and APO/FPO/DPO as designated by the USPS) of the prize. This giveaway is in no way associated with Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or any other entity unless otherwise specified.
