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.

    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

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: How I Stay Connected with My Spouse

Image
This month for Share Our lives we're talking about staying connected. I decided to focus on how my husband and I have stayed connected all these years. We began dating at 16 which means we've been together more than 30 years!   From the time my boys were very young I was very aware of the fact that my marriage was meant to be my lifelong relationship and while I'd obviously have a relationship with my boys for their whole lives as well (I hoped!) I knew it was my job to raise them to leave. The whole point of parenthood is to send our kids out into the world so while I wanted a strong relationship with all 4 of my guys I never lost sight of the fact that for me, my most important relationship was that with my husband.    Basically, it all boils down to I've never stopped dating my husband.     a date night outfit   We made sure to schedule date nights as often as we could. Something that is so easy now that used to take weeks of planning (and hopi...

Share Our Lives: My Frequent Grocery Store Buys

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 some of our most frequent grocery store buys.  I don't know why but I find I am rather fascinated by what people buy at the grocery store. I tend to check out the carts of those around me as we shop too.  I've noticed our groceries change every few years. I remember when the boys were little I'd buy 3 gallons of milk a week! I had big milk drinkers. Even my husband would order milk to drink when we went out to restaurants...  now weirdly no one really ever drinks it so I don't buy any!     But since this is all about the things we DO buy and those things that we buy frequently I thought I'd share those things that seem to ALWAYS be on my list now. Mostly we shop the perimeter of the store: Fruit:  Berries of all kinds-- 2 containers of strawberries,  1 container each of: raspberries, blackberries, and bluebe...

North Carolina Trip: Highs & Lows

Image
Evan and I headed to North Carolina for 4 days from Saturday February 21st until Tuesday February 24th... or so we thought. It was just a"quick trip" to see family... but a blizzard hit at home and we could not find a flight back home to the airport I had parked at until very, very late Friday February 27th and we arrived home at 2 am on February 28th.  Evan had been asking to go down "one last time" to see his cousins before he starts college in the fall and we were able to make that happen. My sister, her husband, and her two teen/young adult sons had just moved in January and live much closer to my mom now so we figured this was the perfect time to go. I only had to pay for flights and my mom offered to chauffeur us around for the weekend plus got their spare bedrooms set up for us to stay with them. I thought this would be a cheap trip as well but added airfare costs, much longer parking at the airport, and filling our days with things to do added up quickly.  W...

21 Pilots The Clancy Tour Breach 2025

Image
Last Tuesday, September 30th, Evan and I had tickets to see 21 Pilots in concert in Hartford Ct. The show was at an indoor/outdoor venue called the Xfinity Center (not to be confused with the other indoor/outdoor Xfinitiy Center in Massachusetts). We had never been to the Xfinity Center and had no idea what to expect. Reviews online were not favorable but we really enjoyed it. I'll liberally sprinkle photos in around all the details, feel free to skip them and just look- most of the details are for me to remember anyway!  I wore comfy clothes with large pockets so I didn't need to bring a bag with me. I carried just my phone (with my credit card tucked inside), keys, and ear plugs. We were surprised to find ourselves so close to the stage! We got an email a few days prior outlining what time the parking lots and various things opened including the doors and decided to switch up our plans a lot. Originally we were going to arrive around 6 for the 8 o'clock show but the parki...
