Prime Purchases from October 2025

 It's the first Thursday of the month and time for Prime Purchases with Jill and Andrea.  I had another month where I bought quite a bit on Amazon. Evan has my car 3-4 days a week now to get to and from work so I often resort to ordering online. 


 Evan and I decided to add Graphic Novels into his short story study so I ordered a few to get us started (he's ordered a few of his own directly from the publisher too). The 3 we started with:

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys 


 Refugee: the Graphic Novel by Alan Gratz 


 The Librarian of Auschwitz: The Graphic Novel by Antonio Iturbe 


He's already read and enjoyed them all and I'm starting to think I'm going to broke keeping this up! I will be looking for more graphic novels through our library.

Evan needed more socks so we ordered these.


 

He also needed another pair of gloves for sleeping so ordered another set of these. 


 I made a cookie cake for my husband's birthday but I didn't have a cookie cake pan. My whole family insisted I needed one so I could make them a lot more often. I ordered this 11" round.

 

I bought this mug for a gift. I love it so much I just might have to buy one for myself!


 I needed some more of these envelopes and my adhesive refills



 I ordered more of my favorite deodorant and these colorful loofahs 



I bought these wide leg yoga pants and this scallop edge cardigan

    I love the cardigan! So cute!! I can see how you'd need to buy envelopes for all the cards you make.

    It makes sense to order online when you don't have your car as much. Great buys! I love that cardigan, so cute!

    What would we do without online ordering. So convenient. Love that butterfly mug. Thanks for linking up with us!

    People need to consider boycotting Amazon. They have said recently they will fire up to 500,000 employees and replace them with AI. They have already fired thousands, putting many people in poverty during an already difficult economy. Amazon is a cut throat predatory corporation with no regard for the well being of the Americans who contributed to their present success.

    The graphic novels look interesting. I think my granddaughter might enjoy them.

    You found some good things. Isn't the scalloped cardigan nice quality? I wore mine last night to dinner! I wore my yoga pants this week and remembered how much I love them, too. They are just good basics.

    Oh cute cardigan! I saw that on Amazon the other day and put it in my cart. I didn't buy it because I wasn't sure, but it looks great so I'm going to click buy! Thanks!

    Such great buys! Love the cardigan! Our public library has lots of graphic novels in their young adult department and probably regular department too.

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 ...

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...

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...

Immersive Monet Experience

Image
 I had such high expectations for the Immersive Monet exhibit because we loved the Van Gogh one so much and I love Monet's art work even more. Alec and I went this past weekend and we spent a good 2 hours inside.  It was in the same building and space that housed the Van Gogh exhibit so we expected a similar set up.     We read about Monet's life and works and home. We watched a short computer animated video about the start of the impressionist movement and Monet's role in it.  Then we stepped into a room that was set up to look like Monet's art studio/salon. There were reproductions of his art all around, little handwritten notes/thoughts sprinkled throughout and even a little window where you could look out onto a scene from Monet's garden complete with bridges, hanging plants, and koi pond.  From there we stepped out into Monet's garden. Now these next two photos look awful but I promise you in real life it wasn't nearly so blue or hazy in there... ...
