It’s Friday, so let’s get this blog party started!
Today everybody is sharing something that they’re hooked on (in a G-rated sort of way!).
What am I hooked on? My new niece Emma! Isn’t she beautiful? My fabulous sister-in-law Shelley drove down from Pennsylvania today and I finally got to meet little Emma, who is 7 weeks old.
She’s just about the sweetest thing you ever saw. Emma let me hold her for ages without crying and humored all of my silly baby talk, even grinning at my funny faces. As you can see by this photo, I quickly decided that I was going to keep her and not give her back (but Shelley insisted on taking Emma home with her in the end, spoiling all my fun).
They just left and I’m missing her already. At least I took about 100 photos to look at until I see her again.
Now it’s your turn. What are you hooked on?
If you don’t have a blog, you can tell us what you’re hooked on in the comments. If you do have a blog and wrote a post for the party, then add the permalink to it in the space provided below. Just be sure to link back to this party post so your readers can come and join in the fun!
(The permalink is the specific address for your post, not your main blog address–click on the title of your post to get it.)
I can’t wait to see what you all have to show us!

I cheated a little and am re-purposing a post I did yesterday about Twitter, but it is really what I am hooked on right now
Well, I’m following Robyn and re-purposed a post I did the other day!!! I am sooooooo hooked….
What a fun idea!
What a beautiful baby! Lucky auntie you are.
I had to link to my molding…I’m always hooked (obsessed) on that!
Done! What a cute baby! I love that whole newborn phase. Congrats, Auntie!
Hi Julia,
This is a great idea. I linked my Show and Tell Friday post to you…it fits here too!
Good luck with Mr. Linky….seems to be working just fine!
Oh…adorable baby! I can see why you are hooked on her!
Isn’t Twitter great! Robyn and I seem to keep finding the same things at the same time. She follows me around the Web and then I follow her. We both started blogging at the same time so we are tag-team bloggers. Thanks for the great blog you have here Julia.
I’m the IT Tech in my family and all around geek. If you need some tech help you can always ask me on Twitter or leave me a message on my blog. I also create banners and tweak blog designs. Robyn is also great at tech support.
One of my sons just came home from Iraq this week so my blog post shows a great pic of the homecoming.
Thanks Julia – all hooked in – so appreciate your efforts to make our Fridays fun

What a fun idea! I fell asleep knowing exactly what I wanted to include, which is so embarrassing:
FAUCETS?
Shelley looks like such a happy mom, and baby does, too!
Aw, your niece is so sweet!!!
I wrote about being hooked on white pumpkins…although I am also hooked on the word, “Festoon” and of course, Joe the Plumber
ha!
Hope the party is great and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!

hello again – I have just done the current nine – one (me) and I have to say … what a great, varied and amazing collection of bloggers … a real tribute to you Julia for the diversity of readers you attract…
My best to all who particpated and the who came by for a read – cheers le
Gorgeous photo! I will join the party as soon as my site comes back to life. I have my post ready to go but can’t get to my admin panel! The horror!
Okay… I posted.
) I may be outing myself today. As a little wacky. But I embrace my wacky self! lol
This is a great idea. No time to get a post up today, but I will definitely jump in one of these weeks. Fun!
Julia, I had so much fun posting about my obsession! It was so cathartic to admit it to the world! Thanks for the therapy!!
Hey Julia, I love this new Hooked On Friday idea! I doubt I get around to it today as I’m preparing for a trip tomorrow but I’ll be back as this sounds like so much fun!
I meant to comment on you and accidentally hit the submit button before I was finished. What a precious picture of the three of you! You are all gorgeous and your sweet little niece is so darling! So glad you had such an enjoyable time, thanks for sharing!
Blessings – Debbie
Great idea Julia!
I can see why you’re hooked on your sweet niece Emma!
Have a wonderful weekend.
I’m HOOKED on Twitter and obviously Halloween:-)
I am following a family on Twitter traveling the world. It’s so neat to be able to communicate back to this mother while she and her family are on their adventure! Go to my site and check them out. Pretty amazing, wish I had the guts to quit everything to follow a dream.
Beautiful baby girl! Someone has baby fever;-)
Hio Laura!
I also added your link to a post I wrote yesterday about awiting my grandson’s birth, and some nice bloggers I ordered baby things from! Everyone knows how excited I am to become a grandma so I’m hooked on that
)
I would have liked to have to have been part of the open house tour but I’ll be at the baby shower next week. Hopefully the next time I can participate!
Thanks, Pat
Great photo, Julia! She is adorable!
OHHH so cute!!!
What a great picture of the three of you! I love babies…
How adorable is that baby?? She’s gorgeous!
super sweet baby!
I’m a total hooked on skinny latte’s girl
The baby is too cute. I love to see what others are obsessed with, mine’s not nearly as unique as some, but seems to always occupy my time.
What a pretty, sweet baby!
I’m hooked on coffee, that’s a given. I’m also hooked on Skinny Cow ice cream cookie bars. I’m also hooked on accessories from a local shop called Signed, Sealed, Delivered (Rogers, Arkansas) and Pottery Barn. I’m also hooked on changing every room in my house before Christmas! So much so that I’m taking a Staycation next week to paint. Now, that’s sad!
Again, sweet baby!
Hooked on Mr. Perfect! I posted on him today
Love your blog;)
I’m a little late in the game but this is fun!
Hi Julia
Emma is absolutely precious. I just love babies
My post is kinda boring, but I really am in love with my new dishes LOL

Hey Julia ~ Great party and I’m soooo hooked and soooo {Linked}. Congrats….sweet Emma is precious and the smile on your face says it all.
Fun on a Friday…thank you!
Smiles ~ Ramona
I am so hooked on sweet ice tea it’s not even funny!!! Can’t get enough of that stuff!!
I found your blog by way of Carrie over at Carrie’s Little World. I plan to be back!!
What a fun Friday idea! ~ Robyn
Now that is a neat picture. Awesome– babies are the greatest.
Okay, I came back fixed it! Let’s try it again! ~ Robyn
Hi, Julia! I promise to come back later and read your blog…it looks like fun. I just wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog (during the Halloween Party that Kimba hosted) and thank you for the nice comment. I couldn’t get your blog to load up before and that’s why I’m so late.
Annabelle
Added my addiction to the list! *Ü*
Hi Julia,
It’s nice to meet you and your blog, it’s great reading/viewing. I love all the homes, but I love houses, so it’s ‘right up my alley’ so to speak. I’ll make sure to come back again, and again, and again……….
Thank you so much for sharing.
‘D’
Well, I said I’d be back, but I didn’t think it would be this soon.
I dont’ know how you have time to follow up on all the commets you receive, so I wanted to say thanks for stopping by my blog.
I also wanted to make a comment on the baby and your visit with her and her mother. You wrote that they came down from Pa., I wondered where in Pa., since we moved from there and all my children/grandchildren are all still living there. I love the name Emma one of my dear friends has a granddaughter, Emma, also. I often wonder where some of the names we hear from celebs. these days are coming from, Lisa Presley being the lastes one.
Enough chatter…..
‘D’
As I’m hooked on so many different things these days, it’s too bad that I don’t have a blog to post to every Friday. One of them is a long-standing obsession with the BeautyBuzz.com message board. I must go check it out several times a day and my purse can only hold out so much on all the things that so many people love that I begin to covet.
This is great fun! Thanks for hosting the party. I’ve been a blog READER, but am now taking the big leap into blog writing myself. Fun stuff!
I’m hooked on learning how to do this whole BLOG thing. I began about three weeks ago & there is just so much I don’t know (talk about being at the beginning of the learning curve).
Hello Julia …. well good things come from good people … and your Friday hookup delivered me a gem in Emily … great timing for me on a personal level to ‘meet’ Emily and read her remodeled life stories – my thanks to you for being the conduit – cheers le
Hi! I’m brand spanking new to your blog-world, but I LOVE decorating homes. I’m currently remodeling my home and we’re in the bedroom right now. As we’re hanging drywall I’m rather hooked on bedding. So many choices. What a great blog-page (more like the Disney Land of Blogging for those who love to decorate). I could be lost here for days!!
I’m hooked on home dec sewing! I’ve lusted over luscious fabrics for years, and found many ways to incorporate them into my home. I savor each and every stitch and long for more projects. Looking at new and different window treatments in decorating mags is probably my greatest time user-upper!
Isn’t this fun! And what a sweet baby girl! She’s adorable.
Hi Julia!
Better late than never, I always say! I added my link…hope it’s not too late!

I am hooked on renovating my newer home into a home with soul , with character , I am trying to create my dream home on a beer budget while doing it all myself , learning as I go and tackling anything when it comes to home improvement , I am also obsessed with trying to get my decorating business off the ground , that is my dream to work full time transforming other people’s homes as I have my own , each house is a blank canvas and I am itching to make my mark.
Chris
Totally hooked on house blogs right now!
I’m a little late, but I posted away! Great idea!
