Books About Grandparents

There are so many great children's books out there and though my boys are starting to get a bit too old for many of the picture books I have so many fond memories of reading to them.

    Grandpa Bud is a picture book that I enjoyed as a child, and my kids love it too.

    Oh my goodness, I never knew there were so many books about grandparents. Some of them look very interesting. Thank you Mother of 3 for sharing this post at the #WednesdayAIM #LinkUp #BlogParty. I shared it on social media.

    I think I'm still amazed that I am a grandmother! That was always somebody else, somebody much older then me, but now it is me! lol. And it is the most wonderful love I've ever experienced toward my precious granddaughter.

    Thanks for sharing all these great books about grandparents! :-)

    Lots of lovely books here. My kids doesn't have their Thai grands here with them. So this is such a nice reminder of them. Thank you for linking up with us on #FabFridayPost

    Can you believe I don't think we've read any of these! They look like a fab collection though. Also there's so many different names for grandma's and grandpas. Thanks for linking up with us at #FabFridayPost

      Mine are quickly getting there! They'll allow me to read picture books about science, history and geography but even with those I have to be careful they're not to young looking.

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...

Prime Purchases in June

Image
 It's the first Monday of the month and time to link up with Andrea and Jill for Prime Purchases. I bought all of 6 items this month.    Our washing machine shredded our comforter so I bought this new one for our bed.   We haven't been able to find my husband's favorite granola in any of our stores (no he doesn't like my homemade granola!) so we bought him this case of 6.    I use these freeze dried strawberries in my homemade granola bars and can't seem to find them locally so I bought this 2 pack; hoping they'll last a couple of months.     Our yard is covered in ant mounts this summer so I bought a couple bags of this diatomaceous Earth natural insect killer.     I was looking for a yellow top to go with a pair of printed shorts I own and ordered quite a few; I kept these two tops even though they don't actually go with the shorts at all...I just really liked them! This yellow one is so cute with the lace detail...

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 ...

Our Favorites from the 4th of July Weekend: 2025

Image
We had such perfect weather for our long 4th of July weekend and made lots of great memories too. Friday my husband was up early to smoke a couple of pork shoulders for his family's 4th of July party on the 5th. I headed to the grocery store to buy some fresh fruit then came home to cook up some new recipes. I was making a new turkey burger recipe for dinner and had some veggies from our farm box to use up so I whipped up a macaroni salad with fresh peas in it. We made a tossed salad and then I put together our lemon/blueberry ice box cake (also for the party on the 5th).  Ian was off with his great uncles for the day helping get set up and cleaned up for the family party so my husband and I went periodically to see if they wanted additional help. I spent most of my afternoon reading on the deck and/or patio.  Around 5 my family showed up to watch the lake's annual 4th of July boat parade. We all had fun watching the decorated boats go by. The guy across the cove from us has a...

Talking About it Tuesdays #78

Image
Another Tuesday, another link party! We had a lovely long weekend here in the states celebrating the 4th of July. And today my mom and I are headed out on our annual day of birthday shopping/lunch together. It's a tradition we started when my boys were young. My mother in law would watch the boys so my mom and I could have a day just us two and we've kept it going all these years. Truth be told I think both of us look more forward to the company, lunch (and dessert-- it is a birthday celebration, after all) than we do to the actual trying on of clothes/ shopping portion of it but we usually get some pretty amazing deals this time of year.   We had lots of great posts linked up at last week's party and I had a tough time picking just a few to feature. I try to always feature a good variety to appeal to a wide range of audience. I feel pretty confident that anyone can find some great posts to read. I can't wait to see what you all link up today!       The link wit...
