Friday links to love (and a couple blog-related items)

Whoa...Friday, already? I feel like I just gathered together links for last week's post. However, I am not one to complain about a weekend, so here we are! This weekend should be a great one- Hank is recording with one of his bands, family is in town, and Adie and I have a bit of a movie night planned. I'm feeling really inspired, and that "spring" feeling is all around- everything feels like it's renewing itself, including me!

And speaking of things being fresh and new, there are going to be some tiny changes coming to this little blog of mine. A couple new, super exciting projects/features (one this month, one next month as Slice of and Mama Said wind down), and also a change in how I do ads. This month I will be doing the final "large" giveaway, and in the future focusing on one to two separate ones, both from me and from sponsors. This month I'll be introducing that concept into the mix, with an additional two giveaways in the next couple of weeks- one fashion related, one food related this time! This change also allows me to put my sponsor money back into my blog and do my own giveaways in the future. I NEVER want this blog to be all about ads or prizes, and I just don't like doing my own in addition to a whole huge one from my amazing sponsors- I've done it before but it really gets too cluttered. So if you're someone who is interested in hosting a giveaway here, I'm absolutely open to the idea, but I do have a waiting list so please get in contact with me asap if you'd like to work with Sometimes Sweet in that capacity. I LOVE treating my readers to fun things so feel free to email me.

And while we are on the topic of blog-related items, please check out my "Blogs I Love" page. I'm STILL updating it, but I have the bulk of it done so definitely check out each of them- they're all very inspiring and wonderful. Don't forget to check out all my new sponsors in my sidebar too!

Also- on Monday I'll be publishing a post about how-to plan a meet up in YOUR area, written by Kelsey, Chelsea and myself...so keep you eyes peeled!

And in the meantime, here are some links to check out-

Lauren's roundup of little baby shoes is too cute! I have started getting into buying tiny shoes for Henry and it's kind of addictive.

Okay. I am obsessed with organization and obsessed with this freebie! Thank you, thank you!
