Talking About it Tuesday #115

We had another date night on Saturday-- who are we with 2 date nights 2 weeks in a row?! But it was wonderful and I figure with April gearing up to be so busy we should take advantage while we can. How was your weekend? Good I hope! 
 
Thanks for joining in with us this Tuesday for another Talking About it Tuesday link party.

    Date nights are always the best! We have been so busy over the past few months that we kind of let it slide. We are having a date weekend this week, heading to Disney World for a 4 night weekend. Thanks so much for hosting your link up party and have a fabulous week!

    Good move on taking the time for a second date night! And isn't is a bit fun, to view other Costco hauls?! It is always interesting, if I do say so myself.

      Thank you! I don't know that I have ever been to a Costco; we tend to have more BJ's warehouses than Costcos around here.

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 ...

What I've been Priming Lately

Image
I haven't shared a Prime Purchases post yet in 2026 so I thought I'd pull together a list to share for today's post... I am, however, skipping over Evan's dorm supplies that we've primed because I plan to write a whole separate post later on all his dorm things.  Thanks Tanya for the graphic!  Over the last 3 months we've bought:  My husband uses this body wash and it's not always easy to find. We find the 3 pack on Amazon is the best bang for our buck and then I don't have to worry about ordering any again for a long while.     I also like to stock up on batteries through Amazon. We bought this AAA pac k and this AA pack.     My husband only uses this brand and flavor of granola and again we (often) find this 6 pack is a better deal than we can find at any of our local stores.    Our sink drain stoppers were looking so awful and even running them through the dishwasher was just not getting them clean so I decided to order this ...

10 on the 10th in April, 2026

Image
 It's the 10th and time for 10 on the 10th with Marsha. This month we're back to answering some would you rather questions. These are often a little wacky and a whole lot of fun! 1. Would you rather rock a mullet or a perm?  Well this one is a piece of cake as I already rock a perm and have for as far back as I can remember.   2. Would you rather have a magic carpet or a crystal ball?  I'm not a fan of heights so I'll go with crystal ball. I'm not sure I'd really use it much but it would look pretty.  3. Would you rather be able to teleport anywhere instantly or read minds?  Teleport anywhere (think of the airline savings!).. besides knowing what it's like in my mind I have zero desire to read anyone else's.  4. Would you rather eat chocolate flavored broccoli or broccoli flavored chocolate?  Chocolate flavored broccoli for sure! I mean I like broccoli just fine the way it is but I'm pretty sure we'd eat it even more if it tasted like chocolate....

Share Your Shelf #22: What I Read in January

Image
It's time for Share Your Shelf. This post and link up are dedicated solely to books and book reviews and it's one I look so forward to each and every month. I am always looking for new and more book ideas. Dara has offered to join me as co-host and I could not be more thrilled. Talk about a prolific reader with lots to share!  I had a fabulous month of fun reading! Each book I picked up or listened to through Libby seemed better than the last. I love when that happens.  1. The Lions of Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis- - Told in 2 time lines this book focuses on a family that lived in the New York Public Library in the early 1900's. Laura Lions' husband is the superintendent of the library and while he's struggling to finish his own novel many of those they are taxed with keeping safe are going missing. Laura is headed to back to school for her journalism degree. The foray into journalism opens her eyes to a whole new world and she starts to question her role as wife and...
