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

    Can you believe I don't think we've read any of these! They look like a fab collection though. Also there's so many different names for grandma's and grandpas. Thanks for linking up with us at #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...

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 ...

Currently in July 2025

Image
It's the first Wednesday of the month and time for the currently link up with Jenn. In July we're talking about what we're currently loving, savoring, celebrating, remembering, and trying.  Loving:  Linen! Linen and gauze are my two favorite summer fabrics but this summer in particular I have so many linen pieces I am just LOVING. I got these aqua linen pants in my stitch fix box and I wear them pretty much any time they are clean. I love the color!    I also found these adorable linen blend harem pants on the Old Navy site as I was trying to order another pair of wide leg black linen pants (since mine have a tiny pinhole starting on the leg) and I just love the style so much. I thought the tie around the ankle would drive me nuts like joggers do but they never rode up on my leg once all day.   I haven't had a pair of tan linen pants in years since I'm pretty picky about them; I don't like them lined but I don't want to them to be see through either but I f...

What I Read in June & Share Your Shelf #15

Image
It's the first Thursday of the month and time for Share Your Shelf with  Marilyn,   Jennifer,   Tanya,  and I. This post and link up are dedicated solely to books and book reviews and it's one I look so forward to each and every month. I am always looking for new and more book ideas. I came home from Acadia to find that 8 of the books I had requested through our local library came in all at once; I struggled to get them read as well as the Netgalley books I had downloaded, the 3 books I bought on vacation, and the myriad books I already had lying around the house. Obviously, I couldn't read them ALL but I think I did a pretty decent job chipping steadily away at the pile. I managed to read 14 books in all this month and I enjoyed so many of them so much. You know it's a good month when I couldn't possibly pick a favorite!    1. Palazzo by Danielle Steel- - I am determined to read the books I have stuffed in every drawer of my nightstand and I started with...

Cards and Scrapbook Pages I Made in June 2025

Image
 The only cards I made this month were for Father's day. I think they turned out pretty good and the dads seemed to like them too.   I worked a bit more on our family's scrapbooking pages. I managed to get the Vincent Van Gogh pages finished, Ian's graduation, and the two older boys' birthdays.  This is actually from Ian's birthday in 2024! That page was missing from his scrapbook so I reprinted the photos.  Linking up with:
