Encouraging Hearts and Home: Family Traditions and Activity Ideas

I just shared some of our family traditions on the blog this week.  As my boys have grown our traditions have changed but I am always on the lookout for some new and fun ideas.  A few posts caught my eye from last week's party that were all centered on family traditions and activities.  I hope you like them too!

      I have been eating far too much sugar lately. I blame all these delicious recipes everywhere.

Let's Look at... My Favorite Amazon Purchases for Summer Living

Image
 The 2nd Wednesday of the month means it's time for Let's Look At... last month we were checking out our medicine cabinets and this month we're looking at some of our favorite Amazon purchases.  I decided that since I've already shared my favorite purchases of 2021 (here) and my favorite purchases of 2022 (here) that for today's post I'd concentrate on our favorite purchases for summer living.  We live right on a lake so I spend a lot of time outside in the sun.  A couple of years ago I bought some new floats for the lake and I just LOVE this pineapple and watermelon float.  They are HUGE and best of all they've lasted us a few summers now.  My favorite place to be in the summer is sitting on this chair on our patio reading a book.  Speaking of reading-- I am loving my kindle paperwhite and can't wait to use it by the lake and the pool knowing it's waterproof and can hold so many books it's the only thing I'll need to bring on vacation

Books the Boys Read in February

Image
My boys were all sick with the flu this month and we lost more than a week of school waiting for everyone to feel healthy again.  They were unable to read when they were so under the weather and that makes our list  a little bit shorter than usual this month. That said we did read and listen to some really great books! Magnus Chase Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan - In this final and thrilling book of the Magus Chase series Magnus is sailing to stop Loki from starting Ragnarok. Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan-- Alec has started re- listening to all of the Percy Jackson books again while he colors in his room.  He loves this series so much and in book 2 Percy is sailing through the Bermuda triangle on a mission to save his best friend Grover. Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan-- In the 3rd book of the series Percy and his friends head out on a mission to find the missing goddess Artemis. Ms. Joni is a Phony by Dan Gut

Prime Purchases in February

 I do so well cutting back on my Amazon purchases this month and I am rather proud of myself!  I did buy quite a few books for Evan's schooling next year but I'll have a full post of what we're using for his 10th grade curriculum in another month or two when we're ready to wrap up this year.  I ordered some bathing suits, shoes, and tops for myself-- and returned them ALL!  They were cute and there was nothing wrong with the material but they just weren't my style. I'll share them on here though in case you do think they look like something you'd like.  Easily my 2 favorite purchases this past month were this necklace and these adorable heart earrings (though I did have to exchange the first pair I got since they were broken).  After all the scrapbooking pages I made last month my Cricut mats were no longer sticky so I bought another set and some more adhesive refills too so I'm ready to dig into our Universal trip this month and start on those pages
