Talking About it Tuesdays #33

 I can't believe this week marks the middle of August already. I really feel like this month is just flying by! We had a very rainy week last week which meant I was able to get quite a bit done around the house and read a few more books too. Have you read anything good lately?

It's Tuesday and time for another link up! I love seeing what everyone is sharing each week and love the struggle to pick out just a few posts to feature. It really is the hardest part of hosting since there are so many wonderful ideas shared each week. Thank you all for making this party such a success! 



The link with the most views from last week's party: 

Nesting From Our Tiny Nest



A few that caught my eye:

Salmon Caprese by Kitty's Kozy Kitchen


DIY Handmade Soap: How to Make Your Own Natural Bars by Krafty Planner


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.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

    Sorry about the weather being less than ideal for outdoor activities but sometimes it´s nice to be forced to do things indoors like read and craft :). Our weather has been lovely- not super hot, not humid just great temperatures with cloudless cerulean blue skies- and I have been trying to enjoy it. Thanks for the link up each week!

    August is flying by, isn’t it? Yesterday, I could tell Fall is on the horizon, although I couldn’t really pinpoint what had changed.

      Every now and then (this past week or so) it feels a bit more like fall than summer here too!

    I think the book I’ve enjoyed most recently, is Kismet by Amina Akhtar. And yes, August does seem to be going so fast!

    This month really is flying by! Though, truthfully, I'm hoping our final winter in Fairbanks flies by, as well.

    That salmon looks so good! Maybe I should try that with one of our fresh-caught fillets!

    Thanks so much for hosting this party, Joanne! I don't like salmon, but I think chicken breasts would work just as well. Have a fabulous rest of the week!

      Good luck keeping it up! I find the key is to schedule my next appointment right when I'm getting my haircut then even if that exact day and time doesn't work out I'm calling her to reschedule and not to try and remember to call TO schedule.

    I think I need a week of rain to slow things down. This week was fairly busy, tomorrow will be very busy, and then I think that things will slow down for a little bit over the weekend!

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

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

Dorm Move In & Alec's Dorm Photos

Image
 Alec and I loaded up the car Wednesday morning. I was literally unable to sleep the night before thinking there was no way we were going to fit all his stuff ( see yesterday's post! ) into my car. But first try we got it all to fit! There wasn't really any room to spare but that's okay, we all fit and so did everything he wanted to bring with him.  Since Alec is in the honors program he got to move in 2 days before the rest of the school (on Thursday).. which meant we didn't hear a whole lot from the school on what to expect for move in day. We were told to be there anywhere between 10 am and 7 pm so we decided to shoot for the 10 am and give ourselves plenty of time. His roommate wouldn't be moving in until Saturday and Alec will have a full day of activities and meetings today (on Friday).  We did label everything with Alec's name, dorm name, and room # just in case and printed out a parking pass (again, just in case)-- none of which we needed to do but were
