{ Flashback Friday an Award and A Favorite Thing }

Okay this is serious flashback friday the 80's and early 90's who remembers the kissing coolers from maybelline my favorite was candy cane and tutti fruity in the red and white swirly short containers and shaped like a heart inside! and the TF was a purple one! Loved them they smelt and tasted so yummy! I could not find one picture on the net of them!
Okay what about windbreakers with the little bag pouch you wore around your waste, banana clips, slouch socks, huge bangs, acid wash jeans and where you took the jeans folded them over and rolled them oh ya I did that too paired with a big baggy shirt, bum equipment, hyper color shirts remember those heat and cold sensitive shirts?? Cyndi lauper, Donny Osmond, new kids on the block ha ha, duran duran, glass tiger, tiffany!! Good ole days eh! What do you remember!

A couple of days ago I got tagged with a "You Make My Day" award ... by Betsy
So nice of her!! Betsy said it was for blogs who brought you inspiration and happiness and we could tag anyone else we thought was deserving. So I wanted to tag a couple of blogs that inspire me or make me smile.It's hard to do though because I love so many of them . If I could list them all I would. I love betsy's of course but she tagged me so here are few more blogs that I just love .



So first I chose Heather because I love blogs that make me laugh, have spunk, ideas and are uplifting and have a little of everything.

Heather is so one of those people if you haven't checked her out already do -- she is beautiful, has two cute kids, a great husband. She finds time to do everything! She is inspirational she has recipes, takes great pictures, serves others all the time. Is crafty, scrappy and shares her love of the Gospel all the time mostly by being the example she is to everybody. Love her blog!
-----------------------------------

My next pick for a fun blog is Holly she always has fun ideas for projects or quotes like me I obviously love quotes~! But she is real and writes things that are fun or make you think and I love things that make me think. She has fun polls sometimes and we have things in common adoption, cowboy husbands etc. She is scrappy and talented and has some great recipes and fun project ideas too. I just really love getting to know her through her blog and our emails!


This is to hard to choose so I'm going to quit there. I love all your blogs you all make my day. I love the way some of you write, love the real life, real opinions, fun everyday projects and talents you all have and share! Love the new people I've met that I already feel like I know to name a few! Love that I've found old friends and can keep updated. Love that we all have similar feelings about life and that we are all different and are all going through our own life trials, but all share some of the same thoughts, feelings and life adventures its fun to share together and have a fun new way to interact and get encouragement from others! I Love blogging !

{A favorite thing would have to be Rebecca's garage sale every year she sales tons of scrapbook paper, products and books and all sorts of stuff every summer she cleans it all out and has a sale. Today was the day and I just got back from there and got about 50 pages for about four bucks!! Can't beat that I look forward to it every year for my paper fix for the year. She is so cute and fun check her website out and her photography is awesome! Defiantly a favorite thing! She did our family pics last year and we are still working on rescheduling this years!}


Well hope everybody has a hot great weekend ! MAKE IT AN AWESOME ONE!!!

We have a BBQ, some canoeing, some shopping, and a birthday party to go to, so it should be another fun filled summer weekend and ready for a big week ahead grade one orientation, play dates, VTing,

Does anybody have great fun summer ideas? fun kid food ideas or things to do besides the obvious?

I love Heather's blog, too! That's actually how I found your blog! :) And I visited Holly's blog today. She seems very sweet and her little girl reminds me of Lauren!

Have a great weekend. Sounds like you've got lots of fun stuff planned!

If you go to kraftcanada.com there are lots of really great food ideas. And if you go to crayola.com or fun.familyeducation.com they have a ton of really great kids summer activities. I hope that helps.

Oh MAN! DO I ever remember the 80's! I will have to post a pic of me in the PRIME of that era on my blog for you to see. LOL!

Love the flash back.

I too LOVE Heather and Holly's blogs. I found them through yours. So fun, eh? Love how small this world is connected, just through our precious little gray boxes on our desks.

Check out these ideas and sites for some awesome and simple summer fun.

I remember all the things you listed...My daughter is having an 80s nightclub 13th birthday party and I love researching it. Brings back lots of memories. I got tickled thinking about rolled jeans and "floppy" socks.

I remember pegging my pants and wearing 2 different colors of slouch socks on each foot. Oh and don't forget parachute pants and side ponytails! LOL!! Gotta love the 80's!

Lynette Martin is the new president, with Lorelei Leishman as 1st, Diane Duce as 2nd and Jenny Kunkel as secretary. And may I comment that it feels sooooo good!! I don't have to worry about a thing except getting the kids to church on Sunday. I can watch a movie with Mike Saturday night instead of hiding out in the computer room. lol.
