Talking About it Tuesday #54

Hello and welcome to another Talking About it Tuesday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I hadn't realized it was a 4 day weekend here for many people in the states with Martin Luther King Jr. Day yesterday until Alec and I were talking. He came home for the weekend and was debating about what day to go back to school. We celebrated his 19th birthday this weekend while he was home. The weekend flew right by though as they always seem to do. How was your weekend?

It's time for another link party. We had lots of people linking up with us again last week and I just love the variety of content! 




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

Bedroom Update- Overdue by My Seventies Split



A few that caught my eye:

Easy Cucumber Roll Ups Recipe by Organized Island


Styling a Plaid Ruana by Chez Mireille Fashion Travel Mom


Capliano Suspension Bridge Park Vancouver, Canada by Life of 2 Snowbirds


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.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

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 ...

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...

Weigh- In Wednesday: My Favorite Protein Packed Fruit Dip

Image
After rejoining Weight Watchers, I knew I wanted to reinstate my Weigh- In Wednesdays posts. On the third Wednesday of every month I'll have a new post/party up for everyone to share workout tips, weight loss thoughts and ideas, and healthy recipes to fuel us on our journey to better health.  Just before leaving for vacation I did a quick weigh- in and found I was down a couple of pounds weighing in around 165. I thought for sure I was going to gain those 3 lbs. back while on vacation but I didn't!  In fact, the day we returned home I weighed in to find I was at the exact same weight right down to the 10th of a pound. I was quite pleasantly surprised by that and it has spurned me on to keep working out 5 days a week.  I rarely snack anymore during the day but if I do I try to make sure it's something filling and somewhat healthy. One of my friends mentioned making a fruit dip that combines non-fat Greek yogurt and peanut butter or peanut butter powder.  I happened to...

Winter Blues with Ageless Style

Image
It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month I picked  "Winter Blues" for  our ageless style group.  While it was very open to interpretation, I picked it knowing I had lots and lots of shades of blue I could use to pull together a stylish outfit.  I finally settled on using this navy and white striped sweater I had gotten in my last Stitch Fix box. It paired perfectly with a pair of navy pants I already had in my closet.  I just love the detailing on the back!  Amy ~ Amy’s Creative Pursuits Blog  |  Instagram  |  Pinterest  |  Facebook  | Bo ~ Bo's Bodacious Blog Blog  /  Instagram  / Pinterest  /  Bloglovin' Jennifer ~ Overflowing with Thankfulness  Blog / Instagram / Pinterest Joanne ~ My Slice of Life Blog / Instagram/ Pinterest/ Facebook Jodie ~ Jodie’s Touch of Style Blog  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  | Marsha~ Mars...
