TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #99 TABLE HAPPENINGS
Want some inspiration for May celebrations? Take a look at last week’s party!
Welcome to the party! I hope your holiday weekend was a blessing, no matter how you celebrated!
This week, there were some wonderful posts related to petite table-foods, centerpieces, tablescapes, and more. So this week, I’m featuring three that made me stop and sigh.
And remember…
Now, let’s take a look at our weekly household and blogging tips.
Weekly Household Tip
I love to tear apart fresh lettuce for my salads. However, what I don’t love is that lettuce, left in the vegetable drawer, can go bad before I get to it.
My solution? Separate the lettuce leaves, clean and dry them, and then put them in a gallon size zip lock bag. Now add a piece of paper towel in the bag and, the best tip… Put a straw in the bag, close the bag with the straw sticking out, and then suck the air out of the bag. Instant vacuum seal without the appliance! (I also put just one little puff of air back into the bag before removing the straw and sealing the bag.) My lettuce lasts ‘forever’. 😉
Weekly Blogging Tip
If your Pinterest traffic seems to have slowed down as of late, don’t be discouraged. Pinterest often has algorithm updates that are hard to keep up with.
Try switching things up. Create some new ‘fresh’ pins for your content. Use a different photo, add a new title overlay, and/or use some updated keywords on the overlay. And remember, pin 80% of your content, and 20% of others (we all want to spread the love)!
Now, let’s get to the features!

Julie,
I love the lettuce tip, I think I knew that a long time ago, but I sure appreciate the reminder! Hope you are doing well!
Always happy to see you hear, Jennifer! And, you’re welcome!
Thanks so much Julie! I love the MOM charcuterie board, what a cute and brilliant idea! Have a great week ahead~
It’s great, isn’t it? Love your watercolor post you share this week!
Julie, I can still see my mom using a straw to suck the air out of plastic bags! Oh, my, fun memories!
That charcuterie board is wonderful!
Have a good one,
RR
🙂 Well, this was something I learned AFTER the kids were gone, so they don’t have memories of my doing that! LOL! I might just be a little happy they don’t! Less embarrassing things to share about me!
Thanks for hosting Julie! I know I’ve said this so many times but I absolutely love your blogging tips. I have learned so much from them and I just want to let you know how much they are appreciated. Have a great week!
Oh, I’m so glad they are helpful, Denise! Always love seeing you here!
Hi Julie! Hope you had a great Mother’s Day. Love the party and have a wonderful week ahead. XO- MaryJo
Mother’s Day was wonderful… for the first time in seven years, I had my whole family with me! #blessed Hope yours was blessed, too! Hugs!
Oh, I just love the tips and tricks you always give on here, Julie! I will have to try the lettuce trick. I do wrap my lettuce in a paper towel when I get home and it helps make it last, but I have never tried your way!
Also, the blogging tips are priceless! Thanks for always sharing these tips!
I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day and continue to have an awesome week ahead!
Many hugs,
Tee
