Books About Grandparents

There are so many great children's books out there and though my boys are starting to get a bit too old for many of the picture books I have so many fond memories of reading to them.

    Grandpa Bud is a picture book that I enjoyed as a child, and my kids love it too.

    Oh my goodness, I never knew there were so many books about grandparents. Some of them look very interesting. Thank you Mother of 3 for sharing this post at the #WednesdayAIM #LinkUp #BlogParty. I shared it on social media.

    I think I'm still amazed that I am a grandmother! That was always somebody else, somebody much older then me, but now it is me! lol. And it is the most wonderful love I've ever experienced toward my precious granddaughter.

    Thanks for sharing all these great books about grandparents! :-)

    Lots of lovely books here. My kids doesn't have their Thai grands here with them. So this is such a nice reminder of them. Thank you for linking up with us on #FabFridayPost

      Mine are quickly getting there! They'll allow me to read picture books about science, history and geography but even with those I have to be careful they're not to young looking.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Louisville, Kentuckey Girls' Trip days 3 & 4

Image
 Sunday morning we had a later start to our day, deciding to meet Amy at Biscuit Belly at 10:30. I ordered sweet tea, a fruit/yogurt/granola bowl, and some Bonuts (donuts made from biscuit dough) that came with bourbon cream cheese frosting.   From there we took two cars to head out shopping; stopping at 2 different stores.  After shopping we stopped at BoomBozz to get some appetizers to share then Amy headed home while the rest of us piled into Maria's car and headed out sightseeing in downtown Louisville. We stopped by a park to look at all the bridges. Then headed to the Louisville Slugger Museum to see the giant bat.   From there we headed back to the rental and hung out until it was time for Tanya to go to the airport. Maria and I drove her while Amy hung out back at the house with Marilyn and Jenn. After Maria and I got back we all just hung out snacking, talking, and laughing until we were all ready to call it a night. In the morning Marilyn, Jenn, M...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Louisville, Kentuncky Girls Trip days 1 & 2

** Before I get into my trip recap I have been hearing from so many of my subscribers that they aren't receiving my emails. I have no idea what is going on but I've noticed that I'm not getting many emails from those blogs I subscribe to either. Things like Mailchimp, Feedly, etc. (from what I am reading and understanding) are getting blocked a lot more by email platforms and their spam filters. I did try restarting my entire email campaign last night... can you let me know if you see a difference?** Thank you!    Last year a group of bloggers and I met up in Nashville and had such a great time that we decided to make it an annual trip. Marilyn from Memphis Bridges, Jenn from My Joyful life, Tanya from The Other Side of the Road, and myself. Amy from Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa couldn't make it and Maria from Memorable Moments & Modest Missives had injured her foot right before our trip and had to back out.  This year we took our trip to Amy since she's...

Currently in May

It's the first Monday of the month and time for the currently link up with Jennifer.  This month we'll be talking about what we're currently loving, looking forward to, leaving behind, letting go of, and looking at.   Loving: Having whole family dinners now that Alec is back home. We also had a lovely belated birthday party for Ian this past weekend.  Alec has been planting seeds, we sorted through all the totes he brought home from college and already started re-packing for next year. He's back at work and settling into being home with us. Looking forward to: This is the time of year my attention turns to our yard, deck, and patio. I am looking forward to eating outside and soaking in the sunshine. I also can't wait for the flowers to start blooming-- we have some early blooms like forsythia already.  Leaving behind: I sure hope we're leaving all the ice and snow behind us for spring and summer; we did have a couple of small storms in April.  Letting go of: Al...
