THE CIRCLE JUNE 2014: THROWBACK THURSDAY.

thecirclejune2014
One year ago today, I was trying to think of a fun way to meet new bloggers and to have my fave readers (that's you!) meet one another, too. I wanted to create something fun and creative, and at the time, I was also participating in some fun link-ups hosted by other bloggers as well. I don't really know what I was thinking, but the idea of a link-up of my own popped in my mind. It sounded like the perfect new adventure for me and it was too exciting not to try out. So I did. And now, a year later, I'm still loving it. I love the chance to connect with my co-hosts, the chance to read your thoughts, and the chance to just connect on a deeper level with all of you!

So in honor of nostalgia and memories, and thinking about the past, I'm turning this month's Circle topic into a Throwback Thursday of sorts. We can share old photos and then add some links to some of our favorite past posts. It's an easy and fun prompt and the perfect way to look back on all that God's done in our lives. Here's to flashbacks, my friends! I cannot wait to read your posts.

So here's my Throwback post of sorts. A few old photos (a bonus for all of you who throw in more than one old photo!) and a short list of some of my fave posts, too. Let's just say that time has been on my good side in terms of hair and fashion, haha. Enjoy (I think?):

Blogging lessons learned.
+ The story behind the blog name.
+ Sugar therapy.
+ Everyday moments.
+ Before and after.
+ 250 words.
+ On kin and communion.
+ A desire to simplify. 
+ An ISFJ.
When life's not moving.
+ Overcoming over-thinking.

So what are your favorite posts that you've written? And have you ever participated in a Throwback Thursday before? I'll admit that I've never done so on Instagram before, but I'm thinking now's the time. And it's also about time for me to check out all of your Throwback posts. Here's to fun old photos and great reads!

Oh, and if you're social media savvy, grab a button and feel free to use the hashtag #thecirclelinkup, too!


p.s. I know there's no co-host for this month's topic and know that you're probably a little disappointed to only see this girl's face in the post. But that just means that you're going to have to click on all these links to see who else is sharing some old fun photos, okay? Happy blog-hopping!

    1. I should probably say that I went through and picked some of my favorite photos--there are definitely some not-so-cute photos of little Kiki, haha. And I can't wait to read your post! It was a last-minute theme decision (so very little notice, whoops!) but I'm loving it so far, too. :)

  3. One year!!! You hit the jackpot with this linkup. I look forward to finding out what your theme will be each month. :)

    This theme is going to be so fun! I love all the pics you shared! And I'll click through your fav posts a little later on today.

    1. Honestly, I cannot hardly believe it's been a year! I'll admit, that there were months when I was feeling run down by this link-up, but then I was reminded of how much I enjoy it and how much I've learned from and about other bloggers, too. I'm excited to see where it will take me and what themes are created, too! :)

      And I hope you join in with this topic! I love looking through old photos and reading old posts and am excited to read everyone's posts.

    1. P.S. I had trouble getting your button into my post, but I made sure to link back to you in the opening :)

    2. Thank YOU for joining in, Natalie! I love that I get a chance to meet followers and fellow bloggers and am so glad you introduced yourself! :) Hooray for linking up!

      Also, I just tried using the button and it seems to work for me. Did you copy/paste the entire HTML and put it right into the HTML of your post? Is it just now showing up or something? I'd love to help!

  6. Fun linkup! I'll have to join in next time. I'm glad to have a link of old posts of yours to check out since I'm rather new here :) does each month have a new topic?

    1. Yes, you should! The more the merrier! The Circle's topics do change each month and the co-host changes, too (this month didn't have a co-host because of scheduling conflicts). I'd love to have you co-host sometime!

      And I love looking through old posts of mine and of other bloggers--especially some of my fave bloggers. :)

    1. Throwback posts are some of my fave, now so I'm glad you liked it! I think it's a great way to get to know someone and it's also a great (and easy, haha) post to create, too. It also gave me an extra excuse to go through those old albums, too!

  8. So, I'm totally late to this party. But, if I can find some old photos lying around, I'm totaling getting in on this. You are sooo cute! And so is your family! I love all of the photos. This is such a great idea. I love me some throwbacks! I don't always do them on instagram, but they are totally fun to look at. :)
