Week 37

Welcome to Week 37 of Mmm Mondays, where we turn Monday woes into Monday whoas!

Last week had 10 posts with some meditation, a delicious dinner, and some snapshots. There was also a hand-tastic tale, some fun under the sun, and a chance to find serenity. You can see all those yummy posts and more here.

Mmm Mondays runs each week from Friday at Noon MDT (UTC-7) until the following Tuesday at 6pm. Over those four days, you’re welcome to post anything that makes you say Mmm, whether fun, foody or flirty. Image only posts are certainly welcome too.

If you’ve never joined us before, please take a few moments to read the rules, grab a badge, then add your Mmm below using the linky tool. Don’t forget to promote your work and this meme using #mmmMondays or #mmmMondaysmeme on social media.

No blog of your own? Simply send me (MrsK) a message at lifeofakinkywife@gmail.com, via twitter, or using the on-site submission form. I will add your post ASAP.

While you’re here, please take a moment to red one or two, or more other posts. Please like or comment if someone makes you say Mmm, and I encourage sharing. For any posts you may miss, you’ll find them on Monday when I share them on Twitter. Don’t forget to follow, so you never miss a week.
