Prime Purchases in September

 I was going so well not buying much of anything from Amazon... right up until the last week or so and then it seemed like I was buying ALL the things!

I needed more lotion and this is my favorite.



I wanted to try some new hair products and bought this foaming mousse and this shampoo/ conditioner set. 




I had a few pairs of these lounge pants that I bought years ago and they were getting threadbare so I bought 3 more pairs-- one gray, one black, and one brown.


I bought a new fall (ish!) colored case and pop socket for my phone. 



We needed some new lunch size glass storage containers and Evan and I needed a smaller backpack cooler for hiking since it's just the two of us now and we pack very little.  



I bought myself some workout tops; I tend to either have long sleeved or sleeveless so I bought this 2 pack of shirts. 

 


I also wanted another cute plaid shirt and picked this cute bright pink one.





I saw this off the shoulder red sweater and just had to have it.




I went looking for some cute fall themed earrings and found this set; the size took a bit of getting used to for me but I love how lightweight they are.

    The lounge pants looks nice- not skintight like leggings but they have less shlumpy of a look than sweatpants. I will check those out!

      Yes! I love that they aren't super tight but I don't feel like a total bum in them either. I often use them for lounging around after hiking.

    I can go months without buying anything from Amazon then will end up buying things every week for a little while.
    What great buys. Those lounge pants look so comfy and that plaid shirt is so pretty, I love the colour.

      Yes! That definitely seems to happen to us (though it's more like weeks and not usually months).

      Oh I know; my mom is always looking for petite sizes in lounge/workout wear too and it's so hard to find.

    Darling earrings. I have to wear very light ones because my piercings have stretched. Guess that happens after 50 years!! Love the way you look in pink. So pretty. Have a tab open to check out the glass containers. We need to move away from plastic.

      Thank you so much! We made the switch to glass a few years ago and really like those glass containers.

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

Throwing a Fabulous 70th Birthday Party at the Last Minute

Image
 I threw a 70th birthday party for my mom at rather the last minute.  Mid- December or so my sister texted me that since it was my mom's 70th this year we should do something to celebrate.  My husband and I were leaving on our cruise the weekend of her actual birthday so I offered to host something New Year's Eve. That gave me about 2 or so weeks to prepare (thankfully I was all set for Christmas!).  I immediately hopped on Amazon and found some cute and pretty rose gold 70th birthday themed decorations and sent out some e-vites.  Between my sister, my step-father, and I we all agreed it was best to keep the guest list to just family.  So I settled to working on the menu.  We have lots of new food allergies in our family that I tried to work around while also keeping some of my mom's favorites in mind.  We settled on: smoked spiral ham and some plain smoked chicken (that my husband offered to cook on the smoker) a baked potato bar with bacon, cheese, chives, sour cream, and

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
