Prime Purchases in May

Oh boy did my credit card get quite a workout this month!  I ordered myself lots of new clothes on Amazon (even tried out Prime Wardrobe for several of the items) and liked so many of them so much that I decided to keep them all... and I don't feel the least bit guilty about it either!



We did need some typical household products like frontline for the cat, filter cartridges for the turtle tanks, and allergy medicine for me but then we had some more "fun" purchases too.

We just LOVE these erasable pens; my boys each pick a color and use just that one pen on all their schoolwork until it runs dry then they pick a new color.  We probably could have held off on ordering them until the fall but I knew I wanted to have them on hand just in case we decided to do some summer review work.



I ordered these conversation hearts for a fun and easy science experiment.  (Come back tomorrow and you can read all about our experiment!)


Alec wanted to make some homemade biscuits and we had no biscuit cutters so we ordered a whole set of them.  



With all the new scrapbooking supplies I was gifted I still needed some more adhesive, some fish embellishments for an aquarium page I was putting together and I ordered a few baby scrapbooks to make some gifts.





I've lost enough weight in the last year that much of my clothes are getting baggy and I'm trying to find some new styles to fit me.  I ordered a couple of cute summer dresses; I kept this short sleeved one and ordered this jean jacket to go with it for those cooler days we're having lately. Both are quite comfortable!




I also ordered a few fun shirts:

I wore this adorable one for our anniversary dinner paired with some dark jeans.  I just loved it! The sleeves are sheer so it's lightweight enough for summer too.




I like this cute summer top so much that I am ordering another one in a different color.



This shirt is so incredibly comfortable and I find the side shirring to be quite flattering.



Some capri pants:  I brought these Lee ones with us on vacation and they fit perfectly!



I just loved the little side detail on these and can not wait to wear them.



And I even bought 2 pairs of shorts (typically I HATE shorts!).  I like these Lee ones so much I'm thinking of ordering another pair in a different color.

I haven't gotten to try these Gloria Vanderbilt ones for a whole day yet as our weather hasn't been quite that warm again but I just love this pretty coral color.


How about you? Have you bought anything off of Amazon lately?

    I love those Lee pants. I always have a hard time finding pants that fit just right and do not hug the body too much. These are mostly cotton and less spandex and do the job nicely!

      I have a hard time finding pants that don't gap at the waist and the soft cotton/spandex in the back prevent that too.

      It was so comfortable too; I wore the outfit together the whole day last Friday while on a field trip and just loved it.

      Thanks; I did try but just could not get any decent selfies with lighting that didn't case me in one giant shadow. I'll keep practicing though.

    I love all the clothes that you ordered ! I bet that dress and jean jacket would look great together! Now you've got me wanting to try Prime Wardrobe! I better not - it sounds too dangerous!

      It sure can be dangerous! I love the idea of trying on clothes at home and only paying for what I keep.

      Thanks! It is so comfortable and with a side slit on both sides it's very easy to move in too.

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 ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
