Good morning, lovies!!  So,  you may have seen this floating around social medial lately – Golden Girls  costumes. As a HUGE (like, ridiculously huge) fan…I’m NOT impressed. I get it. They are popular right now and newbie  fans  are making them  bigger.  But these  aren’t even really costumes. They are just outfits they modeled after similar (sort  of) outfits that the Golden Girls wore.  I think they are pretty lame and horrible, honestly.  Plus,  they are just regular clothes circa  the ’80s  – nothing really  stands out and  screams,  “Golden Girls.”

You can find them at Target – although they are selling out really quickly. They might  come back into stock.

What big Halloween costume trends are you seeing this year?

Do you love movies but don’t want to pay for Amazon Prime or Netflix?  I (Sarah) have three great websites to tell you about, that let you watch movies free with advertising. The advertising is minimal compared to television commercials.
 
The first choice is Vudu and they have movies separated into categories. It’s easy to find what you are looking for.
80s movies, full seasons of television shows, and even children’s movies make up their selection.

The second place is YouTube. The selection is smaller than Vudu’s, and it’s harder to find what you are looking for. The ads are pretty minimum (no worse than television).

 
IMDB is the third choice, they have a pretty good selection of free movies and television shows that are supported by advertising. Includes television shows from Gilligan’s Island to Heroes, the Bachelor to Tiny House Nation, and many more. There is also a small selection of IMDB exclusive works.
 
How do you watch movies for free?

I (Jeni) LOVE coffee and LOVE to bake.  Obviously.  My friend, Laurie, surprised me last week with a “just because” gift in the mail.  It was this awesome “I just want to drink coffee and bake things” t-shirt!  It’s just $19.99 and fits true to size  (which is rare when you buy online, right?!)

Dog lovers will seriously fall for these adorable Dog Socks! The 4-pack is $14.99.  I (Sarah) know a lot of people that would adore these socks! I’m not even a dog owner or lover, and I think they are pretty cute! The paws on the bottom really got me 🙂

Guess what? The McDonald’s McRib is coming back on October 7th!  Yep – and that cult following is seriously rejoicing! Of course, they don’t tell you how long it’s going to be on the menu….  but it’s definitely coming back!! Did you know there’s even a website dedicated to McRib sightings?!

What’s your favorite fast food item?

These are AMAZING!  They are Rocking Monster Toys, and come in three types:  ghost,  octopus, and shark.  They are all super safe and well-balanced, made for kids 3-4 feet tall.  These are certainly more unique than the classic rocking horse, that’s for sure!

Do your kids have ride-on toys?

Um…YES!  Taco Tuesday gets amped up with this Taco Tuesday Book!  It has over 50 recipes to make your Taco Tuesday better and different every week.  mmmmmmmm!  It’s a  great way to discover unique taco recipes for sure! Now I (Sarah) want some tacos. 

What are your favorite tacos?

Because…. it does! ????  This coffee makes me poop is an awesome mug for any coffee lover with a silly sense of humor!

Do you have mug that’s perfect for you?

Well, I (Jeni) just got a 14! Is that pretty high….or low?  Who knows.  I just know what I like and what I don’t! ????

What number did you get?

Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast… oh my gosh.  This sounds absolutely amazing!  I (Sarah) am making this for dinner tonight with a side of bacon and orange juice.  Because breakfast for dinner is ALWAYS fun!  I can’t wait to see how mine turn out….probably not like the picture ????

Do you ever have breakfast for dinner?

    I saw those Golden Girl costumes yesterday and was pretty sure I want to be Blanche for Halloween. 🙂 The toilet paper meme would be true at our house too!

  2. OMG, YES! I’m going to walk around ALL October just telling people stories about my life back in Saint Olaf. I love this so much!

  3. My husband will be excited about the McRib returning. I never liked it though.

    Those Golden Girls costumes are fun. I keep trying to get into the show and I never do.

  4. I’d love to see some Golden Girls trick-or-treaters on my street. Thanks for the free streaming recommendations. I’ll have to check them out!

  5. I have never had a McRib. I am not sure why. I lover that Rocking Monster Toy. It is perfect for my Grandson. I have been obsessed with Tacos lately so I need that cookbook.

  6. The Golden Girls costume looks like a lot of fun. I have to check with my friends to see if we can dress up as them, this year.

  7. Okay I’m cracking up at that mug and those Golden girls costumes. Wait the McRib is back? I know some guys who can’t wait for that.

  8. I really love watching movies. Thank you for sharing these two wonderful websites where I could watch them. Youtube is already given. And that Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast looks really mouthwatering!

    I am thinking about nixing cable since it is just so expensive! I just checked out Vudu and think I am going to try that. They seem to have quite a bit of classics.

  10. I love peanut butter and jelly french toast. I actually like a lot of different kinds of french toast. The mug is funny, it made me smile to day.

  11. We were invited to a Halloween party in a couple of weeks. I never would have thought about going as a Golden Girl, but I love the idea! The costumes are adorable and I bet they would be a great conversation starter! xx

  12. Once the weather cools down all I want to do is drink coffee and bake things. I think I need that shirt! Also… what is decaf??? LOL

  13. I heard about the mcrib coming back. I hear a lot of people are really excited. I have not actually tried it before. I think I’ll be giving it a try when I do see it.

  14. I would totally dress up like The Golden Girls, that’s a fun costume idea for Halloween. I hope that the weather cooperates this year though, so we can dress up and get out there all looking awesome for trick or treating with the kids.

  15. I’m not sure if it’s available everywhere, but I get 10 free movies a month from Hoopla. I just link my library card and get to check out the movies or tv shows that I want.

    The McRib… had it one time and never again. I think it’s one of those things you really like or really hate. Sadly, I’m the latter.

  16. HA! Love those costumes! It’s going to be fun if you go with your friends. Thanks for the awesome movie sites, my husband and I enjoy watching movies together. That’s perfect for our movie nights. I don’t think I’ve tried adding PB&J to my French toast! Would love to try that!

  17. Everyone in my family, except of my husband! will love those lovely Dog Socks! They are so so cute!

  18. I knew about Vudu and Youtube to watch free movies but I didn’t know IMDB had them as well. I’ll have to see what they have that I’ll like.

  19. Oh my gosh. There is just so much good stuff in this post! Can I just have it all? The shirt, those adorable socks the hilarious coffee mug??! LOL Vudu sounds great too!!

  20. My mother in law would love those dog socks! They’re absolutely adorable and would make a great stocking stuffer.

  21. I am going to have to check out some of these sites. I need to get my kids into something besides youtube gaming videos.

  22. My husband would go nuts for the McRib again! Love when it comes back!

  23. I enjoyed reading your post! And those socks are super cute. I’ve to watch so many series on Netflix and Amazon but I have no time!
