Encouraging Hearts and Home-- One more week!

There is only one week left until Thanksgiving here in the United States and I can not wait! I just love Thanksgiving; it is my favorite holiday (which I wrote all about here).  Which means I most likely won't be blogging next week but don't worry! The link party is all set to post and I'll be sure to catch up with all who visit before our party on December 5th.

And Now, for This Week's Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop!

Was my very own Ornament Exchange Link Party




A few of my favorite:

Rae Dunn Inspired Christmas Signs by Kippi at Home (they'd go perfectly with my Rae Dunn inspired ornaments!)



101 Stocking Stuffers for Teens/Tweens by Lamberts Lately (I am really stumped with ideas on what to get my kids this year!)

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 ...

What I Read in April & Share Your Shelf #13

Image
 Marilyn,   Jennifer,   Tanya,  and I are so happy to be hosting this monthly link up (that goes live on the first Thursday of every month) dedicated solely to books and book reviews. Through this link up I've gotten lots of great ideas on what books to read next! This seems to have been a month of books written in verse and a whole lot of middle grade/ young adult fiction at that but wow did I read some really powerful stories. I had no idea I would enjoy stories written in verse so much (in fact I often assumed I wouldn't like them and went out of my way NOT to read them).  I also lucked out that so many new books I've been anxiously waiting for came in at our local library and I've been reading up a storm.  1. All the Blues in the Sky by Renee Watson-- Sage's 13 birthday will forever be remembered as the day her best friend died. Dealing with loss and grief and anger and sadness, Sage tries to navigate this new world without her friend. With the help of ...

Talking About It Tuesdays # 68

Image
Happy Tuesday and welcome back to another Talking About it Tuesday party! I arrived home last night from a quick trip to Kentucky where I met up with some blogging buddies. Sometimes I still think it doesn't feel real that I've made actual friends through blogging. I got to meet a few more ladies this time around and experience a few new things too. It was a great way to recharge my batteries and I'm hitting the ground running today as we have another busy week in store.  I was pretty proud of myself that I managed to visit everyone's posts last week before I left and found so many great ideas. With Mother's day fast approaching in the US and graduation season nearly here I'm already on the hunt for gift ideas, are you? The link with the most views from last week's party: Five Day Post Op by My Seventies Split    A few that caught my eye: How to Make a Graduation Money Lei 2 Easy Ways by Press Print Party Beyond Vinyl/ Discovering the Charm of Cup Wraps for ...

This month for Share Our lives we're sharing how we enjoy spending our free time and what creative outlets we use to have a bit of fun. With all older teens and young adults in the house I have lots and lots of free time.  I have so many creative outlets that I'm not sure I could even remember them all.    My top 5 include: card making   scrapbooking   painting:     I also love to put together puzzles:       I spend a lot of my free time reading (I even listen to audiobooks while making cards, scrapbooking or putting together puzzles).    I hope you'll join us next month when we all share how we celebrate/spend our birthdays!
