Collecting Moments: Shine Blog Hop 73

Before we start this week's hop, we want to take a moment to pause and reflect on the loss of a beautiful member of our blogging community. Melissa from Wading Through Motherhood died suddenly over a week ago. She leaves behind her husband and two small children. If you're so inclined, a collection has been set up in her memory - you can donate HERE.

Melissa has shared many wonderful posts here at the SHINE Blog Hop and has been such a kind, generous, and supportive member of the blogging community. If you have a moment, please take a look this lovely post of hers:

5 Things to Teach Your Children About Love

May you SHINE on Melissa. We will miss you greatly.

On to this week's hop.... The SHINE Blog Hop is a weekly link up of family friendly posts that have been posted on different websites around the internet. You can add your links (if you’re a blogger). If you’re a non-blogger, then please feel free to visit the featured posts and/or visit any of the links that are of interest to you. Comments on this or any posts are always welcome!

We would love to connect with you on social media!

Feel free to grab one of our fancy buttons too!
