Books My Boys Read in September

I wasn't sure that my boys would have much time for reading in September since we officially started back to school.   While they are required to reach each day they rarely read more than what I require.  Often by the time we're done our family read aloud and the books we read for science, geography, or history they don't have much inclination to read anything else.




So I was really surprised by just how long our list was this month!

    That's a lot of books! My youngest kids love Rick Riorden books.

      I was impressed; I really didn't feel like they had done a lot of reading. I am pretty sure we have read every book Rick Riorden has ever written. They just love his works.

    That's quite a selection! I'll have to see if the library has the Flat Stanley one, my daughter would have fun with that!

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...

Prime Purchases in June

Image
 It's the first Monday of the month and time to link up with Andrea and Jill for Prime Purchases. I bought all of 6 items this month.    Our washing machine shredded our comforter so I bought this new one for our bed.   We haven't been able to find my husband's favorite granola in any of our stores (no he doesn't like my homemade granola!) so we bought him this case of 6.    I use these freeze dried strawberries in my homemade granola bars and can't seem to find them locally so I bought this 2 pack; hoping they'll last a couple of months.     Our yard is covered in ant mounts this summer so I bought a couple bags of this diatomaceous Earth natural insect killer.     I was looking for a yellow top to go with a pair of printed shorts I own and ordered quite a few; I kept these two tops even though they don't actually go with the shorts at all...I just really liked them! This yellow one is so cute with the lace detail...

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 ...

Talking About it Tuesdays #78

Image
Another Tuesday, another link party! We had a lovely long weekend here in the states celebrating the 4th of July. And today my mom and I are headed out on our annual day of birthday shopping/lunch together. It's a tradition we started when my boys were young. My mother in law would watch the boys so my mom and I could have a day just us two and we've kept it going all these years. Truth be told I think both of us look more forward to the company, lunch (and dessert-- it is a birthday celebration, after all) than we do to the actual trying on of clothes/ shopping portion of it but we usually get some pretty amazing deals this time of year.   We had lots of great posts linked up at last week's party and I had a tough time picking just a few to feature. I try to always feature a good variety to appeal to a wide range of audience. I feel pretty confident that anyone can find some great posts to read. I can't wait to see what you all link up today!       The link wit...

Favorites and Highlights One Sentence A Day in June 2025

Image
We had such a fun June and it feels like the month just flew by! We did manage to pack a whole lot of fun into our month though.  1.  So thankful Ian took it upon himself to fix our front walk! A windy cold day but Ian worked on the front walk anyway and Evan and I headed out for hike. 11,449 steps.  in all honesty I covered up this shirt with a hooded sweatshirt in no time I set up my chair for the summer and had to try it out; if only for a moment 2. So thankful for a wonderful first day of vacation.  Alec, my husband and I headed to Southwest Harbor Maine stopping in both Kittery and Freeport Maine along the way. 9,961 steps.    3. So thankful for perfect biking weather (and the invention of ebikes).  After a delicious breakfast at our B&B we headed into Bar Harbor to pick up our ebike rentals for the day so we could explore Acadia's carriage roads and then the town before heading back to our B&B to rest and get dinner. 20,003 steps. ...
