Thinking Out Loud Thursday - May 2, 2019

Welcome to Thinking Out Loud Thursday!  Hope you link up below and share what's on your mind today.

With April behind us, I'm thinking out loud today about all the Amazon purchases I made last month.  I always love these kinds of posts when I see them on other blogs!  I won't get into everything I purchased (I just realized how much I buy from Amazon!), but here are a few highlights ~


We celebrated a friend's birthday and as part of her gift I purchased these Fast Beauty Co. masks - one to brighten under the eyes, one for your lips and one for your neck.  These would make great Mother's Day gifts!

Fast Beauty Co. Lip Service! 1 Smoothing Biocellulose Lip Mask With Argan & Hibiscus

My next purchase was for a wedding I'm working on.  I decided to make some wax seals with their initial.  Instead of purchasing the standard wax sticks, I decided to give these sticks that go in your glue gun a try.  So much easier!  There are several colors of wax to choose from.  We went with gold.  So fancy!

Lost Roses, by Martha Hall Kelly, hit the bookshelves in April and my copy was delivered by Amazon as soon as it was off the presses.  There will be a full book review on the blog in a few days, but I'll just say this now:  If you haven't started reading this book, DEFINITELY add it to your list!

Our niece was having a baby sprinkle to welcome their second little boy and I just couldn't show up without a little something for their first son.  This Big Brother t-shirt was the perfect thing!  From the look on the recipient's face, I think it was a hit.

Had to have the new CD set, HONK, that came out from the Rolling Stones!  Each CD is a definitely color and all the songs are fabulous!  This one is going to be getting a lot of play time.

Four pairs of earrings arrived just in time to celebrate Spring!  These would be great to split up and use for four different gifts.

Five on Friday - April 26, 2019

Happy Friday friends!  Where did this week go?!?  After having a glorious three day weekend and celebrating Easter, this week has gone by in a flash and, unfortunately, the blog kind of took a back seat.  I did have time to pull together my five for this week!  Here it is ~

1.  Stuffed Puffs
Get ready to take your s'mores to a whole new level this year -- these new chocolate stuffed marshmallows are hitting the shelves at Walmart.  Can you imagine the chocolate part of your s'more treat being just as gooey as the marshmallow part - OMG!!!  Even if you just want to snack on them, the chocolate surprise center would be pretty delicious.  They are definitely on my shopping list for the weekend.

2.  Rolling Stones New Box Set
Today's the day -- the Rolling Stones is releasing a brand-new Best Of compilation album call Honk.  It features their biggest hits from every Rolling Stones album from 1971 to 2016.  Who else would love to add these vinyls to their collection?  Jammin' to tunes like "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" and "Start Me Up" is always a good time!  Want the collection for yourself?  Click HERE to check it out.

3. Sangria from Aldi's
If you haven't been in an Aldi's lately, I'll give you a good reason to go.  Sangria.  They have big bottles of Sangria in both red and white for only $5.99!  I've tried both and they're good guys.  Add some fruit and you have a summertime cocktail ready to serve.  I'm headed back there this weekend to restock.

4. Avengers Endgame
Just in case you haven't heard, Avengers Endgame opens today.  Good luck getting a ticket though because presale tickets have been crazy!  It opened in China two days before us here and crushed sales!  It's expected to get close to or surpass the $258 million opening of "Infinity War".  That is a crazy amount of money!  Here's the movie synopsis from Fandango ~
Adrift in space with no food or water, Tony Stark sends a message to Pepper Potts as his oxygen supply starts to dwindle. Meanwhile, the remaining Avengers -- Thor, Black Widow, Captain America and Bruce Banner -- must figure out a way to bring back their vanquished allies for an epic showdown with Thanos -- the evil demigod who decimated the planet and the universe.

Five on Friday - April 19, 2019

Happy Good Friday!  I'm enjoying a day off work and I hope you are too.  With a little luck, I'll be able to get through my to-do list and then still have a few days to enjoy the Easter holiday.  Before all that, here's my five for today ~

1.  Breakthrough
Have you seen the previews for Breakthrough?  We've probably seen the trailer 20 times and I've gotten tears in my eyes every single time.  This is a true story that actually happened in St. Louis.  I remember when the story was unfolding and I'm curious to see how they portray it in a movie.  Here's the synopsis from Fandango ~
BREAKTHROUGH is based on the inspirational true story of one mother's unfaltering love in the face of impossible odds. When Joyce Smith's adopted son John falls through an icy Missouri lake, all hope seems lost. But as John lies lifeless, Joyce refuses to give up. Her steadfast belief inspires those around her to continue to pray for John's recovery, even in the face of every case history and scientific prediction. From producer DeVon Franklin (Miracles from Heaven) and adapted for the screen by Grant Nieporte (Seven Pounds) from Joyce Smith's own book, BREAKTHROUGH is an enthralling reminder that faith and love can create a mountain of hope, and sometimes even a miracle.

2.  Homecoming:  A Film by Beyonce
Are you a Beyonce fan?  Is so, you're going to want to see this.  On Wednesday, Netflix began showing a movie titled Homecoming: A Film by Beyonce.  It's a documentary made up from a mixture of footage from the actual Coachella performance and video-diary-style footage of everything that went on behind the scenes.  She also released a surprise live album sharing the same name.  You can grab the album HERE.  I'll definitely be watching the movie this weekend!

3.  Philadelphia Dips
Having company coming over this weekend but no time to make an appetizer?  Try one of these three Philadelphia dips!  There are three flavors to choose from:  Jalapeno Cheddar, Buffalo State with Celery, and Southwest Style Black Bean and Corn.  They are made with real vegetables and are deliciously rich and creamy.

4.  Wicker Earrings
It seems like everywhere I look, the spring thing is wicker earrings.  Amazon has this set of 4 for only $10.99!!  With Prime, the shipping is free.  That's a heck of a deal!  Click HERE to check them out.  

5.  A little humor.....

                   

Hope you have a wonderful Easter!  We're looking forward to spending some time with family and having a bit of time at home to wipe out a few projects.  We'll also be in front of the television Saturday night cheering for the St. Louis Blues!  See you next week.
