Talking About It Tuesdays #12

I hope this Tuesday finds you well! We have a short week planned; Alec's school participates in SkillsUSA each year (a competition for technical high schools across the country) and this is Alec's first year NOT competing. The schools all shut down on competition days since so many teachers and students attend across all the various fields and we're all looking so forward to having an extra day to sleep in.  I know he loved his competition days so much but I will not miss those 4:45 (am) drop offs and 11:30 (pm) pick- ups.

This party will remain open until the weekend.  My hope is that everyone will share all sorts of wonderful posts: travel, recipes, how to's, crafting ideas, and more.  Anything that is family friendly is welcome; even old posts that you'd like to get some new views for.

    I really want to make those eggs! I would eat most of them, though! I didn't know about this link up - love it! How often will you have it?

      They were exhausting days for sure but he thrived on that competition spirit. He seems relieved not to be going this year though and I don't blame him one bit.

      We've been slowly getting out more but it's really chilly again this week...and they're saying perhaps snow this weekend. :(

      Our spring break isn't until mid-April.. so we still have nearly a whole month to go!

    It sounds like you have an exciting and relaxing week planned ahead! Competitions like SkillsUSA can be quite demanding, so it's nice to have a break from the hectic schedule. I hope Alec enjoys the extra sleep and relaxation.

    Thank you for sharing the link with the most views from last week's party, as well as the other posts that caught your eye. It's always great to discover new content and ideas from fellow bloggers. Looking forward to seeing what everyone brings to the party this week!

Prime Purchases I Made in March

Image
 Happy April Fool's day to you! It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases with Tanya.  I was doing so well with my Amazon purchases right up until the end of the month when we decided to host Easter dinner at our house and I felt like I "needed" so much not having any Easter decorations at all.  I bought a few new cardigans for this "in between" season and really love this cable knit one so much it's all I can do to keep myself from buying a second one! I also like this gray one.. . but I find myself wishing I had bought it a different color since it's not very "spring" feeling.  Evan needed some new hiking shoes and we really wanted something waterproof this year but our local shoe stores didn't have anything that worked so we turned to Amazon and he found this pair that he really likes.  I've been working on lots of scrapbook pages and I needed to buy some more of these adhesive refills and Cricut cutting

Friday Favorites: Girls Trip to Nashville Days 1 & 2

Image
By far my favorite part of the week was my girl's trip to the Nashville/Franklin area of Tennessee!  Last Friday I landed in Nashville, Tennessee around 3 pm after an easy morning commute and flight (made so easy because I had no car and my mom drove me to the airport dropping me off curbside). I was meeting up with some blogging friends in real life:  Marilyn from Memphis Bridges,   Jennifer from Overflowing with Thankfulness,  and Tanya from The Other Side of the Road.   By the time I had even picked up my bags I had gotten a text from Marilyn and Jennifer that they were parking the car.  We met up in baggage claim and they had made the cutest welcome sigh for both me and Tanya.  We had a few minutes before meeting up with Tanya and then headed to our rental house in Franklin.  It was adorable and in a lovely little quiet area.  Tanya brought a cute little gift bag of goodies for each of us; seriously these ladies are just the sweetest and I am so, so glad I decided to fly off

Day in the Life: Friday Favorites

Image
 I decided to document last Friday for today's Friday Favorites post. I hardly ever document a day in the life anymore now that my boys are grown and mostly on their own. But I knew we had a pretty full day and thought it might be fun.  These are some of my favorite posts to read and I think I did a pretty great job remembering to document and take pictures for the whole day! 5:00 wake up and I allow myself to blog, read emails, etc. until 5:30 5:30 get up, get dressed for the gym, put away my laundry from the night before, make the bed. 5:45 head downstairs to make Alec's lunch (1/2 way though he came to the balcony to tell me he wasn't going to school since he wasn't feeling well-- he's 18 and allowed to make this call himself).  I decided to make a salad, some chicken salad, hard boil some eggs, and cut up all the fruit since we had just done groceries after dinner last night and none of that had been done yet. I emptied, reloaded, and restarted the dishwasher.
