Friday Frivolity Flash Mobs Style! A Linky Blog Party for All Things Fun and Funny!! Link-Up Now!

Welcome to Friday Frivolity!!

Hello Friday, and hello friends!

I'm embarrassed to realize that I have not posted ANYTHING this past week, due to my singleminded devotion to my Nanowrimo project at the moment, but there's no way I would miss Friday Frivolity with y'all! 

Also, if you're the crafting / cooking / baking / "why yes, I made that fantastic object myself" kind of person (or want to be!) be sure to come back tomorrow for all kinds of DIY deliciousness, at the Happiness is Homemade party I'm cohosting this month too. :) 

Has anybody actually participated in a flash mob? I want to SO MUCH. For some reason the topic popped into my head, and I thought I'd share some two of my favorite flash mob videos! If these don't make you smile like an idiot, you might not be human. But I still love you even if you're not human! Huge props to my non-human readers out there! Cyborgs, mutants, and literate animals, UNITE! ;P 

Props to DB's non-human readers! Cyborgs, mutants & literate animals, UNITE! :P (but humans will like these videos) https://t.co/7rwHDz4JCt

First up, check out this video of a sneak-attack dance performance in Antwerp... The fact that they are performing to a much-beloved song from The Sound of Music just makes it better. (I also really enjoyed this other video that showed just how much work went into putting all that together...)

 


For a similar, less musical but even more hilarious exploit, check out this video... an old favorite of mine that is basically icing on the cake of sheer brilliance. These "gatherings" are orchestrated yearly by a group in New York called Improv Everywhere.  I totally need to look and see if there is a Dallas chapter...  Also, in case you can't tell from the video, all these people are listening to coordinated instructions on MP3 players. And it increases in awesomeness from there.

If anyone has a favorite flash-mob video, pretty-please, do share!

We are so excited to welcome Alexandra from My Urban Family as our guest co-host for this week!  Alexandra is a wonderful lifestyle blogger and graphic designer who writes about family-centered life in Chicago.  She's had lots of great posts lately about the upcoming holidays, gift ideas for difficult people, etc, but my FIRST favorite post from her was all about 90's toys... oh nostalgia factor wedded with ebay money-making opportunities!  ;P  (Pssst, want an easy, special, homemade gift for Grandma and Grandpa without too much crazy glue and glitter everywhere??  Check out Alexandra's personalized coloring pages, converted from YOUR own photos!  Your holiday "awwww" moment is just a few crayons away!)  Go say hi and tell Alexandra you stopped by!

 Drum roll for our feature please, chosen via the number of readers' clicks! 

Our feature this week is from Women Abiding, an encouraging post entitled 4 Unusual Things I Do With My Children.  The author encourages readers to value the small, unique habits and traditions that fill your family with "everyday sparkles."  Check it out if you didn't last week! 

Time for the new stuff! 

We love funny and/or encouraging posts, free printables, giveaways, and other fun stuff to make us SMILE and start the weekend off on the right foot.
