Talking About it Tuesday #65

I hope the first week of April has been treating you well! I did get around to clicking on and pinning each post from last week's link up but I might not have commented on anywhere near as many as I normally would have. I had just a touch of a stomach bug I was fighting off last week and got a bit behind on my blogging/hosting duties. But I did my best and I'm back to feeling 100% so that's all that really matters.

I enjoyed seeing all the spring and Easter foods and crafts as well as everyone's travel and lifestyle posts. We had a few new "faces" linked up with us too and I always love seeing that. As usual it was so hard to pick just a few favorites!  



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

The San Fransisco Flower Market by Adventures in Weseland
 

 

A few that caught my eye:

Easter Village Hutch & More in the Dining Room by Debbie- Dabble Blog

Vintage Style Easter Bunny Dish DIY by Exquisitely Unremarkable
 

Mediterranean Beef, A Slow Cooker Recipe by Scratch Made Food for Hungry People


 

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!

    So many of the features you choose each week catch my eye, as well, Joanne! Glad to read that you are feeling better - stomach bugs are no fun but somehow I always feel better afterward. I hope that's the case for you! Thanks, as always, for the 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...

Daily Highlights and Favorites from January: 2023

Image
 We had a lovely start to our year and, for the most part, enjoyed the weather too.  Even those times we got snow it usually rained within 24 hours and was all gone!  1. It was beautiful out so by 9:30 Evan, myself, and my husband were already hitting the trails.  We hiked around Leadmine for an hour then headed home for lunch where I then spent my afternoon reading, blogging, and crafting.  2. Knowing it was our last day of winter break we all enjoyed another lazy day at home. I spent my morning making cards and then whipped up a chicken pot pie for dinner and we watched the final episode of Friends.  My favorite card of the day (I shared ALL my January cards in this post ) 3. With everyone back to work and in school, Evan and I settled down to work on his schooling then we cleaned the whole upstairs and I ran a few errands right after lunch-- picking up Alec's book at the library, buying bread at the grocery store, etc. It poured all day-- again; I'm gett...

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 Four Somethings in May

Image
 Can you believe it's already the last weekend of the month? Here in the states we have a long Memorial day weekend and my husband and I took off to Acadia, Maine for the long weekend; we have always made it a priority to get away just the two of us for a little weekend here and there whenever we have that extra money in our budget and I can not wait to hit the trails.   Loved: I have loved the warming up of our weather! I got to wear many of my "summer" clothes, our garden is loving the extra sun and warmth too as everything is finally starting to bloom, and best of all I got to ear breakfast on the deck a few times!! Read:  I had another great reading month (though I did have one book that made my DNF list) and I had a little lull now and then where I didn't feel like reading, but somehow I still managed to read and listen to another 10 books and have started 3 more that I'll add onto June's wrap up post. Learned: that solar panels produce power even on clou...

February's 10 on the 10th

Image
 I am so excited about this month's 10 on the 10th questions.  Marsha came up with some great ones and look how pretty these graphics are to!   Since each question is broken into two parts it's almost like answering 20 of them but I promise to try and keep my answers pretty short and sweet (if I can!) and add in a few pictures too.  1. Tell us about a color you love to wear. Now, tell us about a color you wouldn't wear for a million dollars! Blue! I love wearing blue in all it's shades... but I absolutely can not stand wearing orange or a bright yellow (though I'm sure I'd reconsider if an actual million dollars were at stake!).  2. Share a food you loved when you were a little kid, but now you wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.   Not so much a single food but growing up we used to eat at fast food places often-- McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc... and I honestly can not remember the last time we have ever eaten at any fast food place.*  Eve...
