Prime Purchases in April

For once I can start out my Prime Purchases posts saying I have been ordering a lot less this month!  Our orders have been pretty much all over the place this month too.

I was lucky enough to get 24 rolls of toilet paper-- my biggest and most important purchase for the month!  We were getting down to just a few rolls in the house and I could not find it anywhere.  Thankfully I have seen a few packages in stores here and there since.


I ordered a plain green t-shirt and some vinyl for a Father's day craft I have in mind.


We ordered toothpaste, toothbrushes, and vitamins for all the boys.





I also ordered all the allergy meds. we need for the coming of spring.




Alec needed new pajama pants so I ordered this pair for him to try.
 My husband needed deodorant and Alec needed more lotion. He really loves the vanilla bean Dionis lotion.


I needed some hair products; with my hair getting so long I was looking for headbands, bobby pins, and scrunchies to keep it up and out of my face.  I had long since gotten rid of all mine...




I have been ordering quite a few books for my Kindle and we've been renting movies for streaming to keep busy and I thought I'd link those up for you today too (though I rarely think of including things like that in my Prime Purchases posts).

Where'd You Go Burnadette?



Love on Beach Avenue



A Town Like Alice



The Nantucket Inn- It's part 1 in the series but I downloaded all 4 books.



The Rise of Skywalker



The Gentlemen



Bad Boys for Life



Have you been ordering anything lately?

Linking Up With: Spread the Kindness,

    Yay on the TP. I shared my Amazon Purchases today too. I really liked Where Did You Go Bernadette and we liked Bad Boys but The Gentlemen was a disappointment. You look cute! Happy Monday!

      I don't think I made it through much of the Gentlemen at all because I thought it was very disappointing and not at all my style.

      You're welcome! I am loving that Nantucket Inn series; already 1/2 way through book 2 and I just started reading them on Saturday. They remind me a lot of Elin Hilderband and Nancy Thayer's Nantucket books.

    Ahh! Toilet paper is so important. hehehe We were struggling to get any a few weeks ago but thankfully my dad had plenty that we could have thanks to him running a business.
    Great buys! I never think of buying things like toothpaste and allergy tablets from Amazon. x

      I never have before but have not been stopping at my regular stores and for some reason always forget to add them to my grocery list.

    I want to find a vitamin for Gabbie but not the gummy kind. It seems to be a hard thing to locate!

      Amazon had quite a few options that weren't gummy but I still have one that can't swallow pills very well yet. I'd like to swap them over to non-gummies soon so I have him practicing with tic tacs and other small, hard candies.

    A great idea to buy tp from Amazon. I found a large pack at Walmart the other day and it came home with me. I was shocked at the price (almost $25) not sure I've ever purchased this large of a package before, but I'm sure it'll get used LOL.
    The headband looks wonderful! I've been stealing my daughter's scrunchies recently, should probably buy a pack for myself.

      I didn't have anyone to steal them from and really needed something to keep my hair out of my eyes.

    I really want to see what you have in mind for the FAther's Day craft. I order all my hair stuff for the girls off of Amazon as well!

    Your hair looks so good with that headband - they are so "in" now! You scored some great things that I hadn't even thought of ordering like deodorant and toothpaste! So convenient!

    Our stores are finally getting toilet paper in stock. You were lucky to get it on Amazon. I love those scrunchies. Have a good week!

      I've seen a few stores that are slowly getting paper goods back in stock but others are still totally bare.

      It really does make me cringe most months! It doesn't seem like much when I order a bit here and there but it sure does add up fast.

    Wow, you got a lot of great things from Amazon Prime! I have been ordering so much more on Amazon than I have ever ordered before. I guess it is the only way we can shop for a lot of things these days, so why not also add some grocery store necessities so you can avoid going out into the madness! I am loving that cute headband and I just ordered some scrunchies for myself as well. They are much gentler on your hair than hair ties. Thanks for linking up!

    My hair is making me crazy. I was going through some old pictures today and miss my shorter hair. By the time I can get it cut, I should about be able to cut off the reminder of my old color. That will be a good thing. In the meantime, I need some of those cute scrunchies and headbands!!

      Those scrunchies and headbands are helping me maintain my sanity over my hair for sure. Though we did get notice that hairdressers are tentatively opening up at partial capacity by the end of the month (with lots of other stipulations in place to follow).

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

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 mainly through

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 boys were youn

Would You Rather; Fall Edition

I was looking for a quick and fun blog post when I stumbled upon this graphic on Pinterest.  I stopped by Life By Wyetha's blog and found so many great Would You Rather and printable game ideas for parties.  It's a really fun blog and you should definitely check it out (here!) .  With her permission, I'm using her adorable graphic for today's post.  As always, I've circled my answers and, of course, will go into even more detail below.   Other than a few football games when I was in high school, I've never even watched football so my obvious answer was movies!  I don't like scary movies though so you'll find me watching things like Runaway Bride, Stepmom, Love Story, Autumn in New York, St. Elmo's Fire, Good Will Hunting, etc.  While I love iced tea, I only drink hot tea when I'm sick.  I much prefer a mug of cocoa!  When my boys were younger we used to visit a corn maze (and a different one at that!) each fall.  We have so many near us.  They
