Talking About It Tuesdays #12

I hope this Tuesday finds you well! We have a short week planned; Alec's school participates in SkillsUSA each year (a competition for technical high schools across the country) and this is Alec's first year NOT competing. The schools all shut down on competition days since so many teachers and students attend across all the various fields and we're all looking so forward to having an extra day to sleep in.  I know he loved his competition days so much but I will not miss those 4:45 (am) drop offs and 11:30 (pm) pick- ups.

This party will remain open until the weekend.  My hope is that everyone will share all sorts of wonderful posts: travel, recipes, how to's, crafting ideas, and more.  Anything that is family friendly is welcome; even old posts that you'd like to get some new views for.

      They were exhausting days for sure but he thrived on that competition spirit. He seems relieved not to be going this year though and I don't blame him one bit.

      We've been slowly getting out more but it's really chilly again this week...and they're saying perhaps snow this weekend. :(

    It sounds like you have an exciting and relaxing week planned ahead! Competitions like SkillsUSA can be quite demanding, so it's nice to have a break from the hectic schedule. I hope Alec enjoys the extra sleep and relaxation.

    Thank you for sharing the link with the most views from last week's party, as well as the other posts that caught your eye. It's always great to discover new content and ideas from fellow bloggers. Looking forward to seeing what everyone brings to the party this week!

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 mainly through

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

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 boys were youn

10 on the 10th... on the 8th

Image
 Since the 10th falls on a Sunday this month (and I don't blog on the weekends) I thought I'd share my 10 on the 10th a bit early. I love that it also coincides with Friday Favorites since Marsha's 10 on the 10th is often one of my favorite prompts to answer.  Rather than asking us specific questions this month, Marsha has asked us to share 10 things we like to do or eat in November. I thought I'd actually share 10 of each! Now not everything on my list is something we only like to do or eat in November-- we hike pretty much year round and you better believe that many of our favorite foods are enjoyed throughout the fall/winter season too but I'm sure you won't mind me taking a bit of a creative license with the prompt.  10 Things I like to DO in November: Hiking, of course! Though November isn't as pretty for hiking up here it's still not icy and snowy yet so we get out hiking at least once a week. Typically we need coats, gloves, and hats this time of

Friday Favorites: The Second Week of November

Image
 Look at me participating in an actual Friday Favorites! It's been ages since I've summed up our week this way but we had a pretty good and slightly unusual week that I wanted to document.  Rewinding to last Friday I headed out to brunch with my mom and step-father. We not only had a very delicious meal at Bill's Bread and Breakfast but we had a great time catching up and laughing. While this move and their intro into retirement have been pretty stressful for them they have certainly kept their sense of humor. (Sorry, no photos; we were too busy eating and visiting!) That afternoon Evan asked me if I wanted to go for a hike so we headed to Pulaski. It was a beautiful afternoon and we had a great walk but man, it was definitely NOT a favorite to see just how low the water was in the pond-- even the beaver lodge was completely dry! Typically this entire cove would be under water.  water is usually flowing right under this bridge and over the dam on the other side.  Saturday
