Recipes and Lifestyle Inspiration | The Hearth & Soul Link Party

Welcome to the June 2025 Edition of the Hearth and Soul Link Party – the Birthday edition! We’re celebrating 15 years of recipes and lifestyle inspiration and our creative blogging community!

Celebrating 15 Years of The Hearth and Soul Link Party

The Hearth and Soul Link party was launched by a group of wonderful, like-minded bloggers back in early 2010. A few months later, I was invited to join the team. At the time, I was already eight years into my blogging journey – I have actually been blogging since October 2002, and I am looking forward to celebrating 23 years of blogging this autumn!

Since those early days, I have loved watching Hearth and Soul grow and evolve. Over time, we were joined by more new hosts, and the original team moved on to new adventures. Eventually, I took on hosting the party on my own and we began to welcome a broader range of content including both recipes and lifestyle inspiration. It has been such a privilege to help build this supportive, inspiring creative blogging community where writers from all over the world can share their content, ideas and creativity and we can all find inspiration. 

Whether you have been linking up for years, of are joining us for the very first time today, thank you for being part of the Hearth and Soul Community. Let’s celebrate 15 amazing years of connection, creativity and heart – and look forward to many more! 

News!!

I’ll be publishing my Summer Reading List next week! I am such a bookworm, and over the last few years, I’ve read some truly wonderful books. So for the very first time, I’m sharing a Summer Reading List—25 books that I think are perfect for summer reading and that I hope you will enjoy just as much as I did.

Want to be the first to see my new Summer Reading List? Watch this space, or sign up for the newsletter to be notified as soon as it goes live!
