All the Feels in March

It's the last Monday of the month and time to link up with X-tremely V at The Feels.  Each month the same questions are asked and the catch is that all our questions have to be answered based on the current month!



I don't have to tell you that this has been a crazy month and has felt like it was 10 times longer than a regular month.  So much so that I found it nearly impossible to even remember the beginning of March!


Favorite meal this month-- Our traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner that I only ever make for St. Patrick's day.



Favorite Movie/ TV Show/ Book--

Movie: Forever My Girl-- It was like a chick lit romance novel come to life that I found on Amazon.


Tv Show: Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist; I wasn't so sure about this show at first since people around her just randomly burst into song but I really do love it!



Book: I read 11 pretty good books this month (see my full list here!) and while it's always hard to pick a favorite I'd have to say Regretting You by Colleen Hoover was my favorite.



Favorite activity-- Swapping out Ian's Flooring. While I did not enjoy the actual act of doing this job I love how it looks and seeing the huge grin on his face when it was done made it all worth it.

I didn't get a before picture with his carpeting but this old laminate flooring was underneath




Favorite moment-- Watching my boys cooking up a storm in the kitchen! 
Goal for April-- Keep hiking and walking and getting fresh air as often as we can. 

Anything else that made March "feel" good-- I'm not sure about feeling GOOD but hiking made these last few weeks bearable!




Linking Up With: Morning Cup of Joe, High Five for Friday,

    I saw Zoey's.....on Spotify as a soundtrack idea. I am not sure how I will like people singing in a show but I think I might try it because I need distractions. :)

    Corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes are my favorite meal.

      I thought it was pretty lame the first episode but as they developed the story line around it I found I really began to enjoy it a lot. The songs they pick are pretty good too so that helps.

    I'm going to check out that romance on Prime Video. It looks like a good distraction. Hope you are doing well and staying healthy. :)

      I saw it listed on Hulu last night too. I love that they are all bringing out more free stuff for us to watch.

    Oh, I love Zoey's!! I'm a big fan of musicals and shows that incorporate that, so it's kind of perfect for me. I think it does it really well though.

    My boys all loved to cook when they were at home too. I enjoyed seeing photos of your guys in the kitchen. By the way,. my sons are still the main cooks in each of their respective households! :)

      It will be interesting to see if they continue cooking or not.. I'm pretty sure Alec will but I don't think the other two enjoy it so much as tolerate it so they can eat.

    That floor looks amazing! And I have to agree with you on the hiking, it clears my head and gives me the energy to deal with these difficult times.

    Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist looks so cute! I remember seeing previews for it back in the fall. I may have to start watching that!

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...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...

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 ...
