March 2020 was definitely a topsy-turvy month to say the least!  The vast majority of people are living restricted and facing uncertainty.  So many are dealing with illness, whether battling it personally or on the front line helping those infected.  Yet even in times like these we can find things for which to be grateful.  So, yes, I’m still posting my monthly favorites in which I focus on people and things that have brought me joy throughout the month.  Today is April 1st (uh-oh…April Fool’s Day), so it’s time to look back at March.

This is a very different Memory Lane Monday post.  It consists of a succession of memories, starting from a few years ago up to very recently.  Together the memories tell the story of our family’s situation today.  Ready? Read more

Holy cow!  We’re already one week into March, and I haven’t even posted my February Favorites yet!  Now that Old Man Winter has made his exit, the days are passing more quickly again.  I need to highlight my favorites from last month before it’s time to look back on THIS month! Read more

 

I usually post my Memory Lane Monday post on the third Monday of the month, but last Monday I worked in the vegetable garden all day.  The weather was gorgeous, and I needed to get my sugar snap peas planted.  By the time I was done, I was too pooped and achy to focus on writing my post.  A memory was on my mind that day that I wanted to write about, though, so I just saved it until this Monday.  I think it’s kind of a fun one, too!

The second Wednesday of the month means it’s time for Let’s Look!  One of my blogging goals this year is to participate each month with Erika and Shay in their Let’s Look link-up.  This one is forcing me to step a little outside my comfort zone.  We’re looking at my winter wardrobe. Read more

Today I’m participating in a new-to-me linkup offered by Leslie at onceuponatimehappilyeverafter!  It’s called 10 on the 10th.  On the 10th of every month, she will provide a prompt to which we will respond by listing 10 things that answer the prompt.  There was no prompt for January, so this is the first one for 2020.  And with Valentine’s Day coming up later this week, Leslie couldn’t have chosen a better prompt to begin with: 10 Lovable Things About Your Significant Other/BFF!  So do you want to know what I find lovable about Big Eagle?

February is FINALLY here!  YAY!  I know January really does have 31 days just like six of the other months.  So why does it always SEEM so much longer?  To me it seems two weeks longer than all the other months.  Perhaps because there is so much activity in the months just before it, what with the preparations and celebrations of the holidays.  Then the celebrations abruptly end, and it’s just the long winter stretching ahead of you.  But we have made it to February, and I’m ready to look BACK at January and my favorite things from the first month of 2020.

On the third Monday of each month, I do a Memory Lane Monday post.   Yes, I know we already have TBT and FBF, but I like the sound of Memory Lane Monday.  Plus today happens to be Monday and I had a memory today that I wanted to share, so there you go.  So let’s step it up, and head down Memory Lane… Read more

We are practically to the middle of January already, and I haven’t yet done my last quarterly book talk for 2019.  So here it is!  I also looked back and reflected a bit on my year of reading, so I’ll end this post with a little recap of that. Read more

This guy is like, “Yeah, I’m ready…let’s look!” 🤣

Last year I participated in one of Erika and Shay‘s “Let’s Look” link-ups, and it was fun!  If you missed it, you can check it out here.  One of my blogging goals this year is to participate regularly in this monthly link-up.  It’s held every second Wednesday of the month, and it let’s everyone take a little peek into different parts of each other’s lives.  So it fits perfectly with the theme of “allthelittlebits”.  The year is kicking off with a look at our bedside tables, so let’s look!
