Talking About it Tuesday #51

This will be the last Talking About it Tuesday for 2024 but I will be back with the link up on Tuesday January 7th and I hope you'll all join me then! 

Wishing you all a fabulous rest of the year and a happy and healthy New Year for you and your families as well.

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-- up to 3 posts per blog.  Anything that is family friendly is welcome; even old posts that you'd like to get some new views.

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 ...

Share Our Lives: 15 Ways I Save Time on Chores

Image
 I'm taking a break from recapping our Hawaii trip this week but will be back on Monday with daily posts from our time on the big island. Welcome to the first Share Our Lives link up of 2025! This month we're talking about how we're saving time on chores.  Over the years I have tried so many different ways to streamline the household chores/cleaning.  Now I'm not always 100% convinced that they save time but they definitely make cleaning the house seems like a more manageable job.  Some things we've tried over the years:  First and foremost stop dirt in it's tracks. We ask that people leave their shoes at the door! That cuts down on a lot of dirt coming into the house.  Ask for help!  I assigned tasks to each of the boys and rotate who had what chore monthly (something that no longer works with Ian working full time and Alec away at school but it was so nice while it lasted). Make  it easy on yourself and others.  I put stickers on our washe...

Talking About it Tuesday #53

Image
What on.... how?... I can't believe we are nearly 1/2 through January already! I'm not complaining though. I often feel like January, February, and even March can drag right on by. But I am trying to plan some fun things to look forward to every few weeks and enjoy this cozy season at home. I loved reading all the yearly reviews and intentions and goals and seeing so much hope and gratitude. I enjoyed last week's party so much and can't wait to see what you have to share with us today.  The link with the most views from last week's party: 2024- Year End Review A few that caught my eye: Green Check Skirt by Curated by Jennifer Ham & Potatoes Au Gratin by Homemade on a Weeknight A Distant View of Cassiebawn Castle Mountbatten in County Sligo by Image-in- ing 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-- up to 3 posts per blog.  Anything tha...

Salad Love with The Cookbook Club

Image
 Joanne Tracey over at Brookford Kitchen Diaries has started up a monthly cookbook club and the rules such as they are are loose enough that it's easy to follow along and participate.  This month we were asked to look for some sort of healthy living cookbook. I found Salad Love: Crunchy, Savory, and Filling Meals You Can Make Every Day The very beginning of the book David explains that he's not a chef or a cook or anything in the culinary field. His book came about naturally after challenging himself to come up with healthy lunches (at his desk!) for a year. He talks about how/where he stores his tools and foods in the office, why he chose to eat mostly non-processed foods, why his has more of a plant-based focus, and how we able to prepare these right at his desk.  Then the next sections gets into how he assembles his various salads. What he uses for bases, what he uses for proteins, what toppings he adds on, what dressings he's made/uses and goes over the amounts of ea...
