Prime Purchases in July

I think there was a whole two weeks where we didn't receive any Amazon packages at all! I was pretty proud of how little I ordered from them... until the end of the month came around and I ended up ordering quite a bit-- mostly pantry items and cleaning supplies with a few fun things thrown here.  Here are some of the highlights of what I ordered this month.



I bought these two pool floats for the lake; it's been so HOT!  Plus I knew we needed some fun stuff for Evan's friends to play with for his birthday party.  I decided to make it a whole tropical fruit theme in honor of this watermelon and pineapple float.




I bought a cute new beach coverup dress and ordered a few new bathing suits to try too (but they haven't come in yet).



I have so much navy in my summer wardrobe and realized I NEEDED some navy flip flops to go with them; I love this pair.  I never can resist sparkles on my shoes.



Both my old pairs of sunglasses were scratched beyond use so I bought this two pack of polarized ones.



I had some birthday money and gift cards and treated myself to this new Vera Bradley bag and matching wallet. 



I also bought two pairs of these jumpsuits that I mostly use for sleeping in; they are so soft!

    I almost ordered that cover up. But saw how long it would take. If you love yours, I may still get it. Love the floats, especially the pineapple! Have a great day!

      My cover-up came in in less than a week since it was free Prime. I do really like it; it's so comfy. I thought of you with that pineapple float!

      I find I don't actually mind being in the lake if I can be ON a float!

      I get blisters from the cheaper pairs and have found that the materials they are made out of make all the difference. I tend to be drawn to those flip flops that have a little something extra too.

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...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...

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 ...
