Talking About it Tuesdays #69

We had a 3 way tie last week for the most viewed posts so those are the features this week! I squeezed in visiting blogs that were linked up between shuttling Alec home from college, doing what felt like a million loads of laundry, cleaning the house, and hosting a birthday party. But it's nice to know that even when I can't visit everyone right away plenty of people are making sure to read each other's blogs and I love that. 




The links with the most views from last week's party:

 Life Lately April '25 by Doused in Pink
 

 
Treasure Hunting: My Estate Sale Adventure by Trifting Wonderland 
 

 The Days are Ruff... by My Seventies Split
 

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-- up to 3 posts per blog.  Anything that is family friendly is welcome; even old posts that you'd like to get some new views.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

    It's definitely been buy around here and everything seems to stress me out lately, wondering if it's partly hormones because everything gets to me.

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 ...

Prime Purchases in April 2025

Image
 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!

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 ...

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 ...
