Talking About it Tuesdays #101

 ** This will be our last link up of the year! I'm taking the next two Tuesdays off as part of my holiday break but will be back on January 6th with a new link up for the New Year. I will, however, keep the party open until Jan 3rd for anyone that wants to continue sharing! So you can disregard the 3 posts only rule this time.**  

 
 

The link with the most views from last week's party:
 
Simple Holiday Kitchen Decor Ideas by Thrifting Wonderland
 

A few that caught my eye:

Brown Color Combos: Teal by Within a World of My Own
 

 
 
Pot Roast Soup by Recipes Simple
 

 
 

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!

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...

15 Family Restaurant Games

Image
When my boys were little and we'd take them out to eat I kept a small bag of toys in the car to grab on our way into any restaurant.  That way they would be entertained and a bit quieter while we enjoyed our meal. Now that the boys are older we don't keep a bag of toys handy but we do have few games we use to keep the boys occupied if they start getting bored or squirmy while we're waiting for our food or our check. While there are many phone apps, portable gaming systems and electronic games that could occupy my kids we prefer to use the time together at restaurants to connect with one another and so we tend to play games like: Hangman--   any restaurant that has paper place mats works well for this.  We take turns picking  a word and drawing our hangman stand then take turns calling out letters and seeing if we can solve the puzzle.   Tic Tac Toe-- This works best with pen on paper place mats but we have played making a grid with butter knives ...

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 ...

Favorites & Highlights from December; One Sentence a Day

Image
 We had a lovely, if cold, December. Our Christmas was very quiet and low-key and despite my reluctance to celebrate this year we had lots of fun with family.... but I'm already starting to petition for a trip away for next Christmas.   1. So thankful for some great books from the library.  Gym, spent my day doing laundry, working on my painting, and reading. 10,169 steps.   2. So thankful the snow in the forecast was just rain today!  Evan and I headed to Nichol's for a shadow day in the rain, it was fun and informative, then I spent my afternoon running errands. 7,802 steps.  another library pick up!  3. So thankful I talked myself into going for a walk after lunch that turned into a mini hike.  Gym, then I spent my morning in the kitchen cooking up so many things; it was beautiful out so I squeezed in a walk after lunch and then worked on the blog until dinner. 10,521 steps.   homemade granola bars whole wheat everything bag...

10 on the 10th; January 2026

Image
 Yay! Marsha's brought her 10 on the 10th back and I loved this month's prompt! Some months she asks us 10 questions and some month she just gives us a prompt. Both are fun to answer.    Oh I just knew this prompt was going to be so easy! Without listing crazy things I'd never do, I actually have had quite a few goals and things to do on my mind for years that I keep pushing off and pushing off because I really don't want to do them so here are 10 things I probably won't do this year (that I really probably should). Most relate to our house which is now 22 years old... 1. Repaint the baseboards/trim & doors (or any room of the house at that)-- our white trim and doors are really showing their age and use but the thought of actually getting down and repainting them is daunting so it's a task I keep putting off. 2. Remodeling the master bath (or any other room in the house for that matter)-- my husband and I have talked about a master bath remodel for years a...
