What I've Been Priming

I'm actually a bit stunned by how much I have to share here today.  I figured that with our holiday shopping well and truly behind us that I wouldn't have been buying all that much on Amazon but I was wrong.

Between birthdays, our upcoming vacation, and getting the house organized I've been on Amazon a LOT!



Clothing:

This fuzzy 1/2 zip pullover has been so comfy and warm!


My husband tried to buy me this top for Christmas but the package got lost in the mail so when they refunded us our money I bought another one.  It's a much lighter weight than I thought but I do enjoy it.



I needed a new bathing suit for our vacation and I loved my old one so much I decided to order it again in a size smaller.



I also went a bit outside of my comfort zone and tried this 2-piece suit; I like it and I kept it but I'm still not sure I'll actually have the nerve to wear it out of the house.


I'm hoping for some warm weather in Florida and ordered myself this cute little skirt to wear.



Household/beauty items:

I ordered three of these bottles of lotion; one Caramel Pumpkin Spice, one Warm Apple Pie, & one vanilla bean.



I ordered these plastic baskets and these cloth bins for our new pantry organization and I've begun lining ALL our shelves with these wonderful liners.



I bought this kitchen sink caddy to hold all our soaps.



I also purchased this wire cage to hold the wet sponge and get it off our counter.



While I was fixing up the kitchen I also purchased this large utensil crock.



Lastly we purchased this rolling kitchen cart for Alec and all his baking supplies.

      Isn't it the best? A blogger mailed me a small sample size of their butterscotch lotion one year as a fun valentine trade and I just fell in love with their lotions and was thrilled to find it on Amazon.

    I have really been wanting a fuzzy teddy bear sweater. And I love the swimsuits that you chose. So pretty.

    Girl you look so good! That suit is super cute. And I don't now if you ever use self tanner or get a quick spray tan but it definitely makes me feel so much more self confident when I have a little color. The halter style is my favorite.

      I'm pretty sure I'll at least wear it a few times. We do have a private pool with the house we're renting in Florida. I'm sure as I become more confident I don't be so weirded out by it but I never even really wore two pieces when I was younger either.

    Flying into Ontario Airport in California on Sunday to pick up our RV to continue our Snowbird adventure I saw a huge line of Prime jets and a very large ramp area dedicated to Amazon's distribution system. It was so massive it was alarming. - Margy

      Yeah, we toured an Amazon warehouse this past fall and could not get over the size and scope of it all... let alone how many orders they fulfill!

    I think you'll have no problem wearing that skirt here in FL - tomorrow it will be 85 degrees! I added those baskets to my cart - I need to check the measurements of my pantry shelves but I need something, I keep losing things in there. Your bathing suits are so pretty and you better wear that 2 piece - you'll look fantastic!

      Oh I am so jealous! We should have been on the plane this afternoon and there tomorrow! But we'll be going in May now so I know I can break out all the flip flops, skirts, and even that 2-piece. :)

    That gray top is so different and very flattering. No wonder your husband ordered it for you for Christmas. Glad you reordered it when his gift didn't arrive. Love both bathing suits, too. I would like to feel comfortable in a two piece but I think that ship has sailed. Even with one pieces, I feel like I need a little short skirt (or a long one would be better) to hide the cellulite on the tops of my legs. Ugh.

    I got a new soap caddie for my kitchen, too. This week has been all about recycling. I have never been the recycler my girls are but want to up my game. Did you get anything new to make recycling easier for the 52 weeks of organizing and decluttering challenge?

      I hate to admit it but we don't recycle. We don't have any sort of trash pick up where we live so it all just goes in one giant dumpster. My husband has been working with the company that picks up our trash on several recycling plants so I know our trash gets sorted once it's there but that's about it.

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 ...
