Prime Purchases in April 2025

 It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases. I didn't buy all that much this month; just 2 orders!  My biggest purchases were Evan's textbooks for next year (which I'll share later in the spring when I show what he's studying for his senior year). I did order a few things for the rest of the family and bought a couple of "just for fun" stuff for me.


My husband loves these click belts but his old one was all worn out so he asked me to get him another one.
 

I bought some of these large command hooks for Alec's dorm room for next year. 

I was told we were out of these probiotics. 


 I bought myself this National Parks color by number book and this National Parks word search book. 


And finally I bought myself these earrings-- I LOVE them!

    My fella is the same with belts, he has found one he loves and he just keeps replacing it.
    That colouring book looks fantastic and the earrings are so pretty.

      I think all 5 of us own one of those click belts in one form or another.

    Fun earrings! I'm always on the lookout for some new bright ones. I have a friend at church who finds the greatest earrings from Amazon! I don't know how she finds them, but I haven't had much luck yet.

    You got some great buys. We use those same command hooks in our bathroom for our towels.

      Oh good; that's exactly what he needs them for and I was hoping they'd work well for that.

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...

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 ...

Highlights and Favorites Each Day in April

Image
 Oh April... you were mostly a very stressful month with all sorts of not so fun problems (from Alec's struggles to get the classes he needs/any dorm room at all for next semester to a state tax audit to assorted family health and housing problems [none of the 5 of us living in the house but close family none the less]). Throw in some not so fun weather, like snow, and I was ready to throw in the towel completely by the 15th. That said most of these stressors were small and manageable and there really was some good to be found in every day even if I did have to dig a little deeper for it than normal. It sure did go out with a bang though! 1. So thankful for our generator; we needed it to cook dinner along with the grill. Up at nearly 2:30 am with my mind whirling about anything and everything, Evan found out his class was canceled after driving to school but we made the best of it and went hiking instead (after he picked me up). We lost power all afternoon from a downed tree and I ...

Talking About It Tuesdays # 68

Image
Happy Tuesday and welcome back to another Talking About it Tuesday party! I arrived home last night from a quick trip to Kentucky where I met up with some blogging buddies. Sometimes I still think it doesn't feel real that I've made actual friends through blogging. I got to meet a few more ladies this time around and experience a few new things too. It was a great way to recharge my batteries and I'm hitting the ground running today as we have another busy week in store.  I was pretty proud of myself that I managed to visit everyone's posts last week before I left and found so many great ideas. With Mother's day fast approaching in the US and graduation season nearly here I'm already on the hunt for gift ideas, are you? The link with the most views from last week's party: Five Day Post Op by My Seventies Split    A few that caught my eye: How to Make a Graduation Money Lei 2 Easy Ways by Press Print Party Beyond Vinyl/ Discovering the Charm of Cup Wraps for ...

What I Read in April & Share Your Shelf #13

Image
 Marilyn,   Jennifer,   Tanya,  and I are so happy to be hosting this monthly link up (that goes live on the first Thursday of every month) dedicated solely to books and book reviews. Through this link up I've gotten lots of great ideas on what books to read next! This seems to have been a month of books written in verse and a whole lot of middle grade/ young adult fiction at that but wow did I read some really powerful stories. I had no idea I would enjoy stories written in verse so much (in fact I often assumed I wouldn't like them and went out of my way NOT to read them).  I also lucked out that so many new books I've been anxiously waiting for came in at our local library and I've been reading up a storm.  1. All the Blues in the Sky by Renee Watson-- Sage's 13 birthday will forever be remembered as the day her best friend died. Dealing with loss and grief and anger and sadness, Sage tries to navigate this new world without her friend. With the help of ...
