Scrapbook Pages I've Been Working on

 Since I am all but finished up with all my scrapbook pages from 2020 I'm going to share them in two separate posts.  Otherwise I think there would be a crazy amount of photos to sift through.  Each of my boys had their own scrapbook and we have one big family vacation scrapbook which means I often scrap each day of our vacation 4 different times with a few repeated pictures showing up in everyone's layouts. 

In no particular order here they are!

      Thank you! I have definitely slowed down now that my kids are teens but I just love scrapbooking way too much to give it up.

    I tried to scrapbook once, but I could never narrow down the photos!! Good for you, Joanne! You have perfectly captured the moments for each category!

      I struggle with that too! So many of my boy's pages from when they were kids have flaps so I could add in even more photos.

    Wow, Joanne. These are so good. I scrapbooked for a while and made my mom one for her 60th birthday. It's such a great way to use our photos.

      It sure does.. and at least a few times I give up and say that good enough is good enough. Perfection is much too frustrating 95% of the time.

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 ...

Alec's SCAP (Senior Culinary Arts Project) Assignment and Meal

Image
We have been hearing all about Alec's SCAP assignment all year; it counts for something like 75% of their final grade but luckily it is broken down into 10 or so mini assignments throughout the year.  Yesterday he presented his meal and we were allowed to invite up to 7 family members/friends to taste it. He won't know his grade until everyone in the class has gone but I'm pretty sure he crushed it.  Our meal was delicious.  Here are the assignments the project was broken down into: 1. Pick a region and research culture, history of native ingredients, and cooking methods and write an essay about what they discovered.-- He picked GREECE! 2. Figure out what native ingredients they wanted to work with and design a menu; each menu had to have a native fruit in their dessert and a native protein for their entree.  They had to come up with a 4 course meal: bread, appetizer, main dish and dessert.  The main dish had to have a protein, vegetable, and a starch.  3. ...

Guess Who Tuns 21 This Week?

Image
 Gosh it does not seem possible to me that I'm going to have a 21 year old. It's funny how those days with little kids and exhaustion can feel so very long but then looking back it feels like they grew up so fast.  Ian turns 21 this week and I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I am old enough to have a 21 year old. I mean I don't necessarily feel young when my joints or back are hurting or I'm falling asleep at 8 or 9 at night but I still don't feel old enough to have full grown adults!  I didn't have much to write about this week so I thought I'd just have fun sharing some pictures of Ian.  Ian in the yellow and Alec in the blue (I was pregnant with Evan-- and had the morning sickness to prove it) he was ALWAYS building and playing with trucks-- my only one that seemed to care at all about trucks We always referred to him as a "little man" since he seemed so grown up for his age right from the start. Always smiling and happy but som...

Share 4 Somethings in April 2025

Image
Since the last Saturday of the month is tomorrow it's just about time for Share 4 Somethings with Jenn. As always we're sharing some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of .  Some things I've loved: We had my brother and his family over for dinner just for fun and to talk over some plans. It was so great to see everyone and we had such a delicious meal too (if I do say so myself; I went all out with homemade marinara, keto meatballs, fresh zoodles, 2 loaves of a whole wheat bread I experimented with, keto Italian dressing, brownies, etc).  The only 2 photos I thought to take! We had pasta and zoodles so I took a bit of both with my salad I also loved a couple of the hikes Evan and I tackled this month.  Some things I've learned: I've been learning a lot about Glacier National park in order to prep for a trip we're planning.  Some things that went well: We got a lot of Alec's stuff moved home though...
