NATIONAL PEPPERMINT PATTY DAY & PHOTO ALBUMS

YAY! It's another excuse to celebrate chocolate because it's National Peppermint Patty Day!


Do you remember visiting a friend from back in the day, and all of a sudden she pulled out a zillion albums with pictures of people you didn't know?  
Seriously, it seemed like there were 300 pictures of strangers or relatives you'd never met, versus 50 pictures of your friend.

And what about those baby pictures? Every time you thought the album was finished and you could get a breather, 2 more appeared from out of nowhere to provide an overload of cuteness.  It seemed like I sat on that couch for hours. 


Today, everyone shows off pictures by pulling out their phones and scrolling through for your viewing pleasure, and it's still just as hard to walk away. (lol)

Do you enjoy trying products for free and offering honest reviews? Here's a great site to try.

If you're looking for a fun movie that's hilarious, check out the Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix. Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore are adorable as a married couple with some unexplainable food problems.

  2. Happy Peppermint Patty Day! I'm not a huge fan of those, believe it or not. I love chocolate and I lot mint, but not together. ;)

    Have a great weekend, Ro! =)

  3. I love peppermint patties! I love photo albums and always enjoyed looking at them and putting together but with everything digital I haven't done one in years. I realized not to long ago that I was seriously overthinking the whole thing so I'm just going to order a bunch of prints and a plain old photo album and just put one together!

    1. I've convinced myself that they are low fat. (lol) I still have my photo albums too as well as disposable cameras. I love having those precious memories.

  4. I love peppermint patties. I inherited all of my mom and dads photo albums. I started when I was 12 with my dad's because he didn't want the box of pictures. I now have about 30 photo albums and I still order prints because I like the albums and I scrapbook.

    1. That's good that you've kept all those albums, Mary. Like you, I still enjoy photo albums and still even use disposable cameras. I bet you have some great pictures of many events. Hugs...

  5. Happy Peppermint Patty Day. Yum.
    I had an aunt who lugged her albums around when she went visiting:)
    Thanks for info on the movie. I've seen it advertised, but had no idea what it was about. The title threw me.
    Have a great weekend and enjoy the Peppermint Patties:)

    1. Girl, if you need to unwind for a minute, this show will definitely help you to do so. Add on a glass of wine and a cheeseburger and you're set! Hugs...

  8. I miss photo albums, not because I pushed them onto my friends, lol... but because it was great way to organize your pictures into a story... I haven't done that with Valentina, it's too bad, I know it saves space but you never get around to organizing the ones on our phones... Have a great week Ro xox

    1. I still have a few, but no one is trying to look at them these days. (lol) They prefer looking on a phone. I like looking back and turning the actual pages. Hugs...
