    Last year (in 2019) when we visited friends on our summer vacation, my friend and I kept joking about trying to get the "1,000 piece puzzle shot." I would say that some of these are DEFINITELY 1,000 piece puzzle shots! They're beautiful and you captured the colours so well.

    Beautiful photos! I agree with Natasha about the puzzle, and there are several that would also be gorgeous on canvas!

    We did have a beautiful fall this year, didn't we? The lake photos are gorgeous. Loved seeing the leaves turning in your neck of the woods. Thanks for sharing.

      Oh I am so jealous; we now have bare twigs and branches. Fall is just too fleeting.

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...

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...

Talking About it Tuesday #110

Image
Well, after another canceled flight, several flight delays, and switching airlines Evan and I finally arrived home Saturday morning at 2 am. I don't think I have ever been so happy to be back from a trip before. I am just so thankful that we had family to fall back on because I can not imagine what our trip would have been like or what it would have cost if we hadn't had them to stay with! I used the weekend to try and get caught up on all the things-- laundry, groceries, blogging, etc.        Most Popular Posts from Last Week:    Spring Decorating Ideas: Transform Your Home by Thrifting Wonderland   Some Others that Caught My Eye:     Lemon Cupcakes with Blueberry Buttercream by Recipes Simple   A Bare Tree and Broccoli Stamping by Ellibelle's Corner    Blue-tiful Spring: Light Blue Outfit Ideas You'll Love & Link up by I Do De Claire   This party will remain open until the weekend.  My hope is that everyon...

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...
