Friday Things
1. Ahhh, this face!! I just want to cuddle and kiss it all day long.
2. Speaking of babies, there are at least three different commercials running right now that include a screaming baby. WHY?? I’m convinced that the people who wrote these commercials do NOT have children. When one of them comes on, my husband and I immediately check the baby monitor only to realize that it’s the television. We cringe and shake our fists at the TV every.single.time. Ugh.
3. THIS >> 37 Things You’ll Only Understand if You Went to College in the 90’s. I’m so glad that I got to experience high school and college without an ounce of social media (and barely a cell phone!).
4. I recently started following the National Geographic Instagram account (@natgeo) and I’m in awe of pretty much every picture. So many gorgeous images!
5. These 14 Smart Tips for Freezing Summer Produce will totally come in handy over the next few weeks.
6. Totally craving fried mac n’ cheese pops!
7. Do you any of you use those little add-on lenses for your smartphone? I’m totally intrigued by the three for sale over on Brit + Co. Worth it if you take tons of pictures with your phone?
8. This DIY cookie basket is genius – fold up a paper plate to transport cookies or muffins to a friend. So much better than plastic bags or containers that people need to return.
9. Love this reading challenge – I’m often paralyzed with indecision when it comes to picking out a new book to read. Such fun ideas for selecting new books!
10. TGIF! These two are like little toy soldiers when they’re ready for dinner!
Great site! Got your info from Joseph’s grandpa. Baby is awesome!
What a handsome boy! Hey, you should have gone to high school and college in the 60’s and 70’s. NO cell phones and internet and some people in rural areas still had party lines where you shared your phone line with other people. Wouldn’t trade it for anything!
Joseph is so adorable! I would hug and kiss him all day long too! Duke and Einstein are such handsome doggies…they are really amazing and so well behaved. I will have to check out the fresh produce freezing techniques – I just did some corn in the freezer and hope I did it right
Your household is soooo photgenic!!! Joseph, Duke and Einstein are all so cute. Love the paper plate packing ideas!
All your boys are adorable!
I’ve been doing that book challenge this year! I have about 8 books left out of 52 total (50 prompts, but one is a trilogy). It has definitely challenged me to branch out. It has also kept me motivated to read. I have read 55 books so far this year!
Ooh, thanks for the Nat Geo tip. I’m following them on Instagram now too!
natgeo travel on instagram – lovely too
Joseph is so cute! He’s growing so fast. Love seeing pictures of him. Every night I get that serious dog look too—but from a little Chihuahua/Yorkie! I love your Goldens..they have such great personalities. Love to see Friday Things to see what they’re doing.
What a wonderful way tobegin and end “Friday Things”….
Joseph an absolutely adorable lil’ guy and
the puppies, Duke & Einstein, real canine cuties!
Made my day…thanks!!!❤️?
My, how he’s grown! You have an adorable family, Michelle, and that means Duke and Einstein! Joseph looks like he’s a good baby, always smiling and happy and full of curiosity. Bless your little family.
YES to the screaming baby commercials!! When my son was a little younger everything from tv commercials to movies would make me jump for the monitor.
Love, love the photos! Adorable baby! Love the Golden photos; every Friday I’m excited to see the photos of Einstein and Duke!
Oh my goodness!! All 3 of those sweet darling faces are so serious this week! I can’t help but laugh a little seeing the seriousness of all 3 :D I have seen so many cool basket ideas from paper plates for baked goodies. LOVE it! You’ve inspired me; I’m going to have to make one or two and send off some goodies to my daughter who went back to college this past weekend. You know, I miss the personal hand-written notes, cards, & letters of years-not-so-long-ago. And actual pictures . . . there’s nothing quite like sitting down with a scrapbook and lingering over the stories told through actual paper photos. There’s something about the anticipation of opening up a letter received in the mail that just can’t be captured through social media and texting. Have a great weekend!
The macro lens is definitely worth it. I got a kit with 5 lenses from Photojojo (same price as the B&C one), and the macro is the one I use again and again.
Well, I’d be cuddling and kissing him too!! He is adorable. We just have a two month grandson and I hate to put him down. :-) Since you like to read and cook I was over at “Not Without Salt” and a book was mentioned that sounds fantastic. It is called Stir by Jessica Fechtor. It sound like a very inspirational book and something I really want to get into. Anyway — thank you for sharing – I love the paper baskets. Buona giornata! A dopo.
