Scrapbooking Pages Using Supplies I Have on Hand

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a craft de-stash challenge.  I knew this challenge was the perfect opportunity to motivate myself to finish scrapbooking all those photos I had on hand from this year before my batch of photos arrived from our vacation.

I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing.



Meet this month's co-hosts!

    These pages are beautiful! Scrapbooking is so much fun and I love creating these types of pages. Pinning for inspiration.

    I've always loved scrapbooking, too. This is a wonderful way to preserve some keepsakes from family adventures.

      I just know I work so much better with a deadline; I am not a procrastinator unless I'm left to myself. ;)

    I love these pages! I just started scrapbooking, so I'm always looking for inspiration and what supplies I'll need. What did you use for the letters?

      Thank you! I use my circuit to cut out my letters; but when I was just starting out I mostly stuck with stickers.

    Your scrapbook came out really nice. I bought some but never put any together. I think this is definitely something I have to start doing soon since my kids are getting bigger. I'd love for them to have their own. Thank you for linking up with us at #OMHGWW

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...

15 Family Restaurant Games

Image
When my boys were little and we'd take them out to eat I kept a small bag of toys in the car to grab on our way into any restaurant.  That way they would be entertained and a bit quieter while we enjoyed our meal. Now that the boys are older we don't keep a bag of toys handy but we do have few games we use to keep the boys occupied if they start getting bored or squirmy while we're waiting for our food or our check. While there are many phone apps, portable gaming systems and electronic games that could occupy my kids we prefer to use the time together at restaurants to connect with one another and so we tend to play games like: Hangman--   any restaurant that has paper place mats works well for this.  We take turns picking  a word and drawing our hangman stand then take turns calling out letters and seeing if we can solve the puzzle.   Tic Tac Toe-- This works best with pen on paper place mats but we have played making a grid with butter knives ...

Share Our Lives: My Favorite Cleaning Products

Image
It's the second Monday and time for Share Our Lives. The monthly link up where we share snippets of our lives. This month we're talking about our favorite cleaning products.  I took photos of cleaning products as I used them and am sharing them in no particular order.  I use Dawn dish soap as a stain remover for our laundry. It works particularly well with kitchen oil/ salad dressing stains.  I don't, however, use it on our dishes.  This (or All Free & Clear) is our usual laundry detergent.  We use this in our dishwasher. And this is what we use on our dishes when washing by hand (also what we use on our countertop and table).  I use white vinegar for so much-- I water it down to use on our floors in our refillable mop, I add 1 cup to the laundry when I want to remove odors (like with our towels). Cleans windows/glass without streaks, I mix it with salt and use it on weeds..  Baking soda is also used to boost laundry detergent. I sprinkle it in pan...

Vegetable Stir- Fry with Zoodles

Image
This is another one of those recipes where I really just tell you some of the amounts and ingredients used because, honestly, we never make it quite the same way twice! I use whatever vegetables I happen to have on hand and mix it up with different seasonings and things too. Sometimes we add in a protein like chick peas (like we did today) other times it might be diced firm tofu, it really is a very adaptable recipe and up to you.   I tend to only make these zoodle & vegetable stir-frys when Alec will be around since he and I are the only two that eat it! I don't care though because I just love it! Other than the chopping and prepping the vegetables; which I tend to do in the morning. It's a very easy recipe to throw together.   Ingredients:   Olive oil-- start with a few Tablespoons and add more as needed to keep the vegetables from sticking 1 large carrot; peeled and cut julienne 1 red pepper; seeded and sliced thin 1 large onion; chopped Large handful fresh gr...

10 on the 10th in April, 2026

Image
 It's the 10th and time for 10 on the 10th with Marsha. This month we're back to answering some would you rather questions. These are often a little wacky and a whole lot of fun! 1. Would you rather rock a mullet or a perm?  Well this one is a piece of cake as I already rock a perm and have for as far back as I can remember.   2. Would you rather have a magic carpet or a crystal ball?  I'm not a fan of heights so I'll go with crystal ball. I'm not sure I'd really use it much but it would look pretty.  3. Would you rather be able to teleport anywhere instantly or read minds?  Teleport anywhere (think of the airline savings!).. besides knowing what it's like in my mind I have zero desire to read anyone else's.  4. Would you rather eat chocolate flavored broccoli or broccoli flavored chocolate?  Chocolate flavored broccoli for sure! I mean I like broccoli just fine the way it is but I'm pretty sure we'd eat it even more if it tasted like chocolate....
