Talking About it Tuesday #57

We've had a very wet and snowy week that started with a small storm last Sunday night into Monday, another nearly all day on Thursday, and now one this past Sunday too. Tonight, tomorrow, Thursday, and Saturday all have possible snow showers in the forecast as well.  So I'm pretty sure it will be another week spent mostly at home. How about you?

One good thing about our weather is that I have plenty of time to read ALL the blog posts linked up with us each week. I've tried quite a few new recipes too so thank you for the inspiration! Speaking of all the blogs linked up with us-- this past week we had a tie for "most viewed" so I only picked two others to feature. 




The link with the most views from last week's party: It's a tie!

A Brand New Month by My Seventies Split






A few that caught my eye:

Finding Joy in January by Is This Mutton?



Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday-- February Challenge by Ellibelle's Corner



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!

    It seems everyone is getting snow except Wisconsin. We still have barely any snow on the ground.

      Wow; that is really unusual. Though I have definitely noticed that we get much less snow now than when either myself or even my boys were young.

    Thank you for selecting my Valentine's card as one that caught your eye :)
    We barely had any snow yet this year, there was never the need for shoveling, although we did have a couple occasions of freezing rain and a few days of frigid weather. We're expecting snow tomorrow though that might require shoveling. The older I get the more I dislike the winter months!! I am ready for spring!

    We are getting a lot of snowy and messy weather this week too and even a couple of days of warmer weather and rain! This winter is getting to overstay its welcome, if you ask me!

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 ...

Valentine's Day Care Package

Image
 I shipped another package off to Alec. This time I added some homemade cookies! I found this cute tin at Target and knew it would be perfect for mailing some cookies. I cooked up 2 recipes and filled the tin up.  I gathered all the materials I bought to send with it: his favorite Pepperidge Farm cookies, some almonds, some lotion, some cute Valentine window clings, a coloring book and a Van Gogh themed bookmark.  I stamped up some fun Valentine hearts on the tissue paper and enclosed a card too.  Linking up with: Spread the Kindness,

Winter Collection 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 at either Delia Smith's Winter Collection or Summer Collection and since it is firmly winter here I picked her winter collection.  It was a pretty cookbook but I do wish there had been more photos of the recipes included.  We settled on trying the authentic Ragu Bolognese. We did have to make a couple of modification based on what I could find in the store (plus our own personal taste made chicken livers a no go).  First off we halved the recipe; not knowing if we'd like it or not I didn't want to make so much. The recipe says it makes 16 servings and I figured 8 servings would be perfect with a full box of pasta (that also happens to feed 8!).  I needn't have worried as we all really liked this (even me and I do not normally like ground beef...

Talking About it Tuesday #58

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I feel like I have spent the past week catching up with all sorts of family and friends-- I spent Wednesday afternoon on the phone for over an hour with my college bestie, then Thursday I talked with Alec for quite some time, Sunday I got a call from my mom and we got all caught up after not having talked in nearly in a month. It's been wonderful.  We had some really wonderful posts linked up with us last week and I can't wait to see what everyone shares this week.  The link with the most views from last week's party: Embracing Silence: The Beauty of Quiet Moments by Thrifting Wonderland A few that caught my eye: Peach Baked Oatmeal by Recipes Simple Get the Look for Less- Striped Sweater by Douse in Pink Fun Valentine's Day Activity by Harassed Mom 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...
