70's Playlist


I am a child of the 70's

I was born in the 60's
1966 to be exact!

Music has always been & always will be a major influence in my life
It is always playing in my mind
I can think of a song to fit most situations or events in my life
There is always a soundtrack playing for me!

Here are some that remind me of my childhood-


Maxine Nightingale




Jackson 5 
Check out Bill Cosby in this clip, nice du
Love the Jackson 5 outfits, stylin'
Kinda sad to think of how MJ's life changed so dramatically


Elton John & Ki Ki Dee




Bay City Rollers



The Carpenters...my first concert, yeah, that's right!



James Taylor


And of course, the Beatles
Let It Be
(don't just ignore the foreign writing, this is a great version of the song)

This is a recipe I found on
It is Mongolian Beef
It is delicious
Everyone in my family eats it
Winning

I serve it over brown rice & broccoli or asian style veggies
Love

Pinterest


This is my latest obsession
It is crazy
It's like a virtual bulletin board for all things you love, want to create, dream about, eat, read, & laugh at!


It is a black hole time sucker
don't tell me I didn't warn you!


Have fun & happy pinning!

Teach Me How To Dougie

So I was having a pity party today
really nothing earth shattering
just really nothing at all

I sent an email to all my girls for moral support

In my list of complaints I listed that I was upset
that I didn't know how to Dougie
(this really isn't something to be upset about,
I was trying to be funny &
make fun of the list of nothingness that I was upset about)

to my surprise all my besties did not know what it meant

to dougie

so if my peeps don't know what it means
to dougie

then it is my obligation to show the
very small list of followers of
BellaSky Readers
what it means
to dougie!

So here is how the whole
Dougie thing happened in my world

This song started playing on the radio


at minute marker 0:44 ish is when bruno mentions

"...turn on MTV so they can teach me how to Dougie..."

Dougie?
I asked

what's that

I want MTV to teach me too


So then I found this


and this



And that's how learning how to Dougie became a life mission for me

And now you are all informed

you're welcome!

"Vintage" Canisters


A gift from my aunt & uncle

These A-DOR-A-BLE

mushroom canisters



Can they be any more 70's????

So there is a story as to why these are now sitting in my kitchen

Growing up, we lived right next door to my aunt & uncle
These canisters sat in her kitchen for years
they were such a part of the backdrop of my childhood years
where we spent hours with her cooking, painting our nails, chatting and just being loved

Fast forward 30+ years
These precious treasures from my past were passed on to me!
My Aunt came to visit and gave them to me
"Honey, they have been sitting in my basement for years.
I knew you loved them so I wanted you to have them!"

They have a special place in my heart & now they have a special place in my kitchen

I {heart} them so much
I love you Aunt J!

Also, do you not love my curio cabinet?
It is a flea market find!
it is made from salvaged window frames!
{love}
