The Hearth and Soul Hop Link Party
It’s time once again for the Hearth and Soul Hop Link Party! We invite you to share all family-friendly posts as well as, of course, food from the hearth to feed your soul.

It’s been another busy week at our house but we’ve managed to find a bit of time for relaxation with some walks among the bluebells, which are now in full bloom in the woods near our home.

I hope you have managed to fit in a bit of Time Out as well!

Earlier today, I shared a deliciously easy spring dessert.

Easy No Bake Orange Cheesecake on http://www.apriljharris.com

My last minute Easy No Bake Orange Cheesecake is a rich yet light and refreshing dessert perfect for entertaining.

Planning our recent anniversary celebrations meant that I discovered a lot of hints and tips for lots of different ways of  celebrating your best anniversary ever. Whether you prefer a simple celebration for just the two of you or a big party with friends, I’ve got ideas for you!

Hints and Tips for Your Best Anniversary Ever

I’ve shared them, along with some behind the scenes photographs from our own recent celebration, in this post.

Today I’m featuring (from top left clockwise):Hearth and Soul Hop Featured Posts April 18th

    Hi April–Bluebells, cheesecake, and celebration tips–how wonderful! This week I’ve linked up a roundup of some fantastic gluten-free animal cracker recipes for National Animal Crackers Day and a much loved dinner in our house, Taco Popover Supper. 🙂

    Have a wonderful week! It is so beautiful and green here … and finally warm!

    Thanks for the party April! I love your Blue Bells. We have Blue Bonnets here and they are also in bloom. They aren’t the same flower but they are close. I wonder if they are in the same family? Have a great week!

      I was wondering that too! Blue Bonnets do look very similar – although not identical – to bluebells. I’ll have to do some research and find out! Wishing you a great week as well!

    Oh, I wish I has bluebells blooming in my yard. They are gorgeous! I love spring flowers — they are so welcome after all of the greyness of winter!

    Hi April, orange cheesecake is tempting, I love the orange flavour in cakes.

    Last week I missed the party because my new post was not ready.

    Thanks for hosting dear,

    April, how I’d love to walk among the bluebells, then come in for a cup of tea and slice of your no-bake cheesecake!
