Photos of the Week: November 27th

 I was so focused on Thanksgiving and getting our house decorated for Christmas on Friday that I forgot all about this challenge until late last night.  Not wanting to skip one of these I Spy challenges I decided to cull through my photos of the week and see what I could come up with! 


– festivities-- Getting ready for the festivities this week with a floral centerpiece. 



– food-- We made our favorite chocolate chip pecan pie this week




– free-- Hiking is the best form of free entertainment. 



– fortune-- I pulled together the perfect Thanksgiving outfit without spending a fortune! 



– your choice

      I have! (though the photos are awful and was my whole point in snapping a few this week-- just so I could update it!). https://www.myslicesoflife.com/2017/12/chocolate-chip-pecan-pie-recipe.html

    Hello! I'm visiting from "Inspire Me Mondays". I made a pecan pie for Thanksgiving as well but no chocolate chips. Yours sounds very yummy and I'm sure I'd love it! Perhaps, when you get a chance you'll swing by for some music. Have a boogietastic day.

    I'm always impressed with your photos, and even more so with these, as they were "pulled together." They don't look that way! I love your flowers and the view of your lake is always amazing.

    Super photos---I know it's hard to blog when you are busy with company/holiday---I sometimes forget to take photos---all mine have family in them for the weekend---but that IS what it is all about. Darn that pie looks delicious and lethal...lol. Sandi

      I am the exact opposite! I have zero photos taken with our family in it this weekend. I tend to snap photos before everyone arrives but then just don't think to pick up my camera while everyone is gathered together.

    That pecan pie looks delicious (I've never tasted pecan pie - it's not really an Aussie dish) but I'd be tempted to try yours. And the photo of your deck still brings me a twinge of envy. :)

      It is very sweet but very good. I like the crunch of pecans on just about anything.

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
