    What a great and do-able list! I am posting mine tomorrow. I always steal some ideas from others' lists, too! My list is not a set in stone thing and I can change and add!

    I just wrote my list yesterday and will share tomorrow. You have a really good list and Glacier sounds like a great trip! I limited myself to 20 things, but summer is the easiest one to write and I definitely could have made it longer. Enjoy your day!

      I just started that last year and we really enjoyed them all so much.. particularly the pickles which I don't normally like or eat. But I liked that my homemade ones were much crisper.

    These all look really good, especially going to Glacier Lake. I haven’t done my wrap up yet. I’m just a little behind!

    I look forward to your "report" on Glacier National Park! That was going to be one of our last assignments as NPS volunteers, unfortunately we had to cancel. And I have not been there (even though we lived in MT for 3 years, LOL!) yet. #MMBC

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 ...

Weigh- In Wednesdays; The Last One!

Image
After rejoining Weight Watchers, I knew I wanted to reinstate my Weigh- In Wednesdays posts and it was great for keeping me motivated and focused. But I haven't used Weight Watchers at all in the past 2 months and earlier this month I gave up access to their app. I figured why pay for it if I wasn't using it?  I feel pretty confident that I know what I need to do to keep the weight off and I am definitely still focused on healthy living and nutrition but I think it's time to say good-bye to this link up so today will be my last Weigh-in Wednesday for the foreseeable future.   I did gain quite a few pounds on our Maine trip but I was not at all surprised; eating fried foods and ice cream daily will do that. Even if we did bike 24 miles, hike for upwards of 5 miles, and put on lots and lots of steps walking.  That said we returned home and I went back to healthy eating.  Fruit yogurt and granola with chia seeds for breakfast   Or eggs with veggies and my...

Talking About it Tuesdays #75

Image
We had some really beautiful weather last week (and some rain too) but it was finally hot and sunny and felt like summer was well on its way. We went strawberry picking and made some homemade jam. We had a quiet weekend with the older two boys working both days. My husband's only real request for father's day was some delicious homemade strawberry shortcake with our freshly picked strawberries and I was happy to comply! How was your week/weekend?  It's time for another link party and boy did we have some really fabulous posts linked up with us last week. I love that I can always find a little bit of everything at this party and can't wait to see what you share this week.    The link with the most views from last week's party:   Tuesday Talk by My Joyful Life      A few that caught my eye: Red, White, and Blue Blondies Recipe by Crystal & Co.   Book Review: The Kite Runner by Sun-Sea-Soil-Sky      Amsterdam-Part 2, Zandvoort by...

10 Most Popular Posts of All Time

Image
Each year near the end of December/ beginning of January I share the top 10 posts of the year but this year, in particular, I have noticed some much older posts that are still bringing in lots of pageviews and thought it would be fun to look back and see a top 10 list of all time.  I started my blog in June of 2012 and while so many of my first posts were long blocky, chunky rambles without any real photos of us and our family I just can't bring myself to delete any of them as I really do enjoy looking back and seeing how my blog has change and grown over time. Not surprisingly all my top 10 posts are from more recent years.  I love to look at what is popular and try to figure out WHY each post is so popular. Most of the time I can't but I love to speculate anyway.  10. Our 2022 Disney/Universal Trip Day 1 & 2 has almost 2000 views. Who doesn't love Disney and the Magic Kingdom? 😊 9. My Would You rather; Fall Edition had well over 3,000 pageview. I do, however, thi...
