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! :-)

      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...

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 ...

Big Island of Hawaii -- Hawaii days 6 & 7: Settling in & Touring Volcanoes National Park

Image
Day 6; Monday December 23rd was the day we were leaving Maui and heading to the big island of Hawaii. Our flight with Hawaiian Airlines was around 11 and we still had to drop off our rental car and navigate the crowded airport so we left our rental early in the morning just in case.  It was a very short flight between islands but we still had to check bags, pick up our bags, drop off one rental car in Maui and pick up another in Hawaii so we treated it like any other arrival/settle in day.  my new favorite Hawaiian snack! (we tried one other brand but it wasn't as good!) Leaving Maui, I had a window seat! Already spotting the big island on the horizon. You can see huge lava fields from the plane; the ground is all black and cracked and dried looking.  After picking up bags and the rental car we headed to The Big Kahuna Beach Grill. The food was yummy and we had a pretty view too.  It rained a bit but we had to go get groceries anyway (at Wal-Mart with what seemed li...

Hello and welcome to another Talking About it Tuesday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I hadn't realized it was a 4 day weekend here for many people in the states with Martin Luther King Jr. Day yesterday until Alec and I were talking. He came home for the weekend and was debating about what day to go back to school. We celebrated his 19th birthday this weekend while he was home. The weekend flew right by though as they always seem to do. How was your weekend? It's time for another link party. We had lots of people linking up with us again last week and I just love the variety of content!  The link with the most views from last week's party: Bedroom Update- Overdue by My Seventies Split A few that caught my eye: Easy Cucumber Roll Ups Recipe by Organized Island Styling a Plaid Ruana by Chez Mireille Fashion Travel Mom Capliano Suspension Bridge Park Vancouver, Canada by Life of 2 Snowbirds This party will remain open until the weekend.  My hope is that everyone wi...

Salad Love with The Cookbook Club

Image
 Joanne Tracey over at Brookford Kitchen Diaries has started up a monthly cookbook club and the rules such as they are are loose enough that it's easy to follow along and participate.  This month we were asked to look for some sort of healthy living cookbook. I found Salad Love: Crunchy, Savory, and Filling Meals You Can Make Every Day The very beginning of the book David explains that he's not a chef or a cook or anything in the culinary field. His book came about naturally after challenging himself to come up with healthy lunches (at his desk!) for a year. He talks about how/where he stores his tools and foods in the office, why he chose to eat mostly non-processed foods, why his has more of a plant-based focus, and how we able to prepare these right at his desk.  Then the next sections gets into how he assembles his various salads. What he uses for bases, what he uses for proteins, what toppings he adds on, what dressings he's made/uses and goes over the amounts of ea...
