Talking About it Tuesday #63

Wow, can you believe it's already the last week in March? This month has flown by. It was a pretty cold and windy one but we haven't really had any snow so I can't complain. We had lots of rain but that was good as all our lakes and rivers are back up to their usual spring levels and we are getting more and more days that tease of spring weather. 

We had a huge turnout for last week's party and up until Friday night we had had a 4 way tie for most viewed... so our link with the most views from last week's party won by just 1 view! I don't think it's ever been that close before. Did you have a favorite from last week's party?


 

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

Porch #173: Emotional Healing, Spiritual Growth, & Peaceful Living by Grace & Space
 

 

A few that caught my eye:

 Good For You Granola Recipe by Recipe Idea Shop


  Pistachio Layered Dessert by Kitty's Kozy Kitchen


Review: What's a (Dis)Organized Person to do? by Stray Thoughts 



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.

    Yes, time passes rapidly...and next weekend we have to change time once again. It should have been eliminated...but there seem to be more important things to think over here in Europe....
    Have a good time and all the best....and I hope it will be a nice spring

    Time is flying and I need to enjoy the moments! I am about to have another high school kid and a middle schooler! Slow it down! But I am enjoying them getting bigger and being to communicate with them better.
    Thanks for the link up party!

    It is hard to believe that March is almost over! We have not had our usual big snowfall this month, so I'm a bit worried we will have a draught filled summer. It is 70 degrees here today!

      Oh I hope not; hopefully some rain will make it your way to make up for the lost snowfall.

    I really can't believe March is almost over. It really did fly by! We didn't get snow this month and I really thought we would. It's been cold but no snow....we have about a week left so we will see what happens.

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 ...

Weigh in Wednesday: The Month We Were Fully At Home

Image
 I can't believe it's already time for another weigh-in Wednesday! I feel like I just wrote up my summary from last month.  I weighed in at 163.5 (or 6?-- I don't really remember the number after the decimal point and I'm too lazy to find my phone and look it up right now) last Thursday (when I wrote this post). This means that in the last month I was able to shed 2 lbs.  I'm pretty happy with that. I mean I always want to see those numbers go down but at the same time I really do love to eat and have not managed to give up my sweets entirely.   I do think I ate much better this month than last and a large part of that is that we've been eating at home.  I haven't really remembered to snap many photos of my dinner but I have taken quite a few photos of my breakfasts, lunches, and snacks.  salad with chicken and peaches and croutons I've moved my fruit/yogurt/granola bowl to the afternoons for the most part I made a mini Caesar salad over my regular wee...

What's Up Wednesday in March

Image
It's the last Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for What's Up Wednesday.  What We're Eating: Sunday: Pot roast, roasted potatoes, and asparagus (salmon for me) Monday: Pollock, green beans, & rice with chicken tenderloins for the boys. Tuesday: Pumpkin sausage penne with salad Wednesday: Leftover turkey with vegetable fried rice and salad Thursday: BLT grinders with chips and salad (I'll just have salad with chick peas) Friday: Basil chicken pasta with salad Saturday: Crock pot short ribs with mashed potatoes and peas (I have no idea what I'll be eating instead) What I'm Reminiscing About: We've been talking about how to handle picking Alec up from school (as weirdly his last day is on a Wednesday and he has exams Tuesday night!)... and it seems like we were just dropping him off at college yesterday! What I'm Loving: We have seen some really fabulous live performances between & Juliet and Ovo (Cirque Du Soleil) this past mo...
