Encouraging Hearts and Home: Virtual Travels

One of the things I have always enjoyed about blogging is getting to see the world through all the different posts I read.  I have gotten to see so much of the world that I'd never get to see otherwise!  I love when people take photos of things off the beaten path too; things that are unique to their travels or their parts of world.  If we weren't on lock down and if I had enough money I would love to spend my life travelling.  How about you? Do you enjoy traveling and seeing new places?

    I really miss traveling. I was reading the news today and it seemed so discouraging with so many governors talking about an indefinite lockdown until a vaccine or treatment is available. Thank you for the party.

      I miss traveling too; even just the fun of planning a trip! I don't know what things are like near you but I do not see an indefinite lockdown working as more and more people seem to be out on the roads and out in stores every day.

    Oh how fun! I always love link ups. While it adds to my already long list of blogs I read, I still enjoy finding news blogs to read and be inspired by!

    Thank you so much for featuring our post on Carlsbad. I am so happy you enjoyed your virtual visit. I always love joining you and your family on your adventures! I guess virtual vacationing is going to be the only way we get to travel for awhile :(

      It sure does sound like virtual vacationing is going to be it for some time.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

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 mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

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 boys were youn

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 white
