Cards and Scrapbook Pages I Made in June 2025

 The only cards I made this month were for Father's day. I think they turned out pretty good and the dads seemed to like them too. 





 I worked a bit more on our family's scrapbooking pages. I managed to get the Vincent Van Gogh pages finished, Ian's graduation, and the two older boys' birthdays. 






This is actually from Ian's birthday in 2024! That page was missing from his scrapbook so I reprinted the photos.

    You were productive! Do you work at the dining room table or in your craft room?

      In my craftroom corner of my bedroom. I do have plans to make a whole real craftroom as soon as one of the boys moves out-- not that I'm rushing them or anything!

    Those Van Gogh pages are gorgeous!! Mike is always surprised when he gets a home made card. He really likes them, but I doubt he understands how much work goes into them.

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...

Share 4 Somethings in June 2025

Image
Since the last Saturday of the month is tomorrow it's just about time for Share 4 Somethings with Jenn. As always we're sharing some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of .  Some things I've loved:  I LOVED our trip to Maine! Acadia is just so beautiful and we had such perfect weather too.   I've LOVED having my brother and his family so close this month; they moved into the campground near our house this summer and it's fun spotting them randomly on our road. I LOVED getting to spent the afternoon in Newport with Dara (Not in Jersey blog) and her family. They are the sweetest, nicest people!    I LOVED the last minute date night my husband and I planned this past weekend. We got dressed and headed to Foxwoods to try one of their steak houses. We walked around, did a little shopping, and enjoyed a delicious ice cream treat before heading home.   they end the meal with a complimentary cotton candy (...

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 ...

What's Up Wednesday in June

Image
It's the last Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for What's Up Wednesday. I can't believe our first month of summer is already ending!  What We're Eating:  lots of salads and fresh veggies... and lots of ice cream too. Life is all about balance, right?   What I'm Reminiscing About:  Nothing at the moment!  What I'm Loving:  Our "new" front walk that Ian re-did for us. Based on how well water runs off it when it rains I don't think we'll have much problems with ice this winter. Now we're just waiting on the grass to grow.     What We've Been Up To:  We started our month off in Maine at Acadia National Park.      We did lots of hiking around home too.     I went to Newport to meet up with Dara ( Not in Jersey blog) and her family. We had such a wonderful afternoon together.       Alec, my mother in law, and I went to check out a local art fair     My husband and I had a lovely date...

Monthly Musings Summer Vacation Edition

Image
 It's the last Thursday of the month and time for Monthly Musings with Patty and Holly. I already had a post set for today ( this delicious chicken pesto sandwich recipe ) but when I saw this months questions were all about vacations I couldn't resist joining in!   1. We have a very late summer trip (AFTER Labor day) planned to Glacier National Park. It's just me and my husband. We did take Alec to Acadia in spring/early June but neither of the other two boys seemed interested in any trips this year.  2. When it's just my husband and I we don't have much post-vacation laundry and since we each do our own we're normally caught up by the next day. If all 5 of us are going on vacation we rent an airB&B/VRBO so we have a washer and dryer and just wash as we go.  3. Well, we've only been on a handful of summer vacations since we always took vacations in the off season; we live on a lake so summer is our favorite season at home plus with homeschooling and that...
