Alec discovered Fennec foxes and has been obsessed with reading about them and their environment.
He's been spending quite a lot of time reading about deserts and desert animals.  Here are some of our favorite books:

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 ...

Prime Purchases in January & February

Image
 We decided not to renew our Amazon Prime membership in December so I haven't been ordering nearly as much from Amazon these past two month. I do, however, wait until I have a large list so I can take advantage of free shipping. My intention had been to try and not buy anything from them this year but it seems like I'm still placing orders at least once or twice a month... mostly because I can't find the same stuff in stores locally.  A lot of these organic food choices are cheaper in bulk through amazon and since I am the only one that eats them, they should last me quite a long time!  If anyone has any suggestions on where else to look for cheaper organic products I've love some ideas! I did place an order with Vitacost, and looked into Azure (which doesn't have drop off locations near us). Our nearest Trader Joes is 45 minutes away as is the nearest Whole Foods which were my next thoughts...  Raw organic cashews   Organic hemp seeds Basil seeds Raw organic pi...

Currently in March 2025

Image
It's the first Wednesday of the month and time for Currently with Jennifer. This month we'll be talking about the things we're currently loving, craving, pinning, planning, and appreciating Loving:  I have so many great things I'm loving this month. I am loving how Evan's room turned out (he picked such a great color!). I LOVED seeing the otters playing in the water/ice last week. Alec and I had the most fun grabbing dinner and seeing the show & Juliet in Providence (we even got comped better seats at the show since we arrived so early!). And of course I am loving having Alec home this week.  We hadn't made any reservations anywhere so we ended up at the counter for a coal fired pizza place; it was so neat watching them make the pizzas all night (and so delicious too!). I forgot to take a photo of ours but we split a Magherita-- sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil It was such a fun show! So lively and the storyline was great; we laughed a lot and the music ma...

The Books I Read in February& Share Your Shelf #11

Image
 Marilyn,   Jennifer,   Tanya,  and I are so happy to be hosting this monthly link up (that goes live on the first Thursday of every month) dedicated solely to books and book reviews. Through this link up I've gotten lots of great ideas on what books to read next! This time of the year it's so hard to pick which prompt to fit each of the books I'm reading into the 52 Book Challenge since so many of them fit in multiple spots! But I love the ease of it.  I read lots of great book this month but I'm starting to wonder about myself... I read at least 3 books that I can think of off the top of my head this month where the cast of characters was large and by the end I was having a hard time remembering who was who. I mean I definitely followed along with the main storyline and enjoyed them but I do feel like I was missing some of the side stories and details. Perhaps there are just some stories I should NOT be listening to. At least with the physical books I can glan...
