Friday Things
1. These boys love their cars and bikes! Summer is going to be fun; I can’t believe that Joseph is already done with school next week, it seems like he just started! And only one more year of preschool then off to kindergarten, gahhhhh.
2. Dominic is SUPER excited to start school in the fall. He’s gotten really into now that he does Joseph’s drop off and pick up with me nearly every time. I think he’s going to have a blast :)
3. This little lady got her own ride and she is hysterical in this little buggy. She LOVES to ride in it and sits in there, looks around, and waves as she rides along. She pretty much reminds me of the queen, lol.
4. I bought these Living Raw truffles at Whole Foods last weekend and OMG they are so much better than I anticipated. Super rich and totally squashes my sweets cravings!
5. I recently saw a link to Annie’s Caring Crochet Kit Club – it’s $25/month you receive a kit every 4 weeks with the yarn, materials and pattern for a new project, as well as the option to donate it to a specific charity. Some of them can be sent to cancer patients, babies and children, the elderly, etc. Each month you find out about the cause or charity and you can choose to donate the piece, or keep it. I LOVE this idea, and when I have more free time, I am totally going to do it!
6. Totally craving a homemade burger with classic burger sauce right now.
7. Do you use the Todoist app? I just downloaded and am excited to give it a whirl. Any tips for making the most of it?
8. Speaking of apps, does anyone use the Day One app? It looks to be a digital journal where you can capture notes, videos, audio recordings, and photos for each day. I LOVE this idea! I could never get into scrapbooking, but THIS I think I can do!
9. Are you watching Game of Thrones? This last season has totally captivated me and last week was OMG. Who has predictions for how this whole thing ends on Sunday?!
10. TGIF! I hope you have a snuggly weekend!
Just wanted to let you know that I saw you mention Cook Once, Eat All Week last Friday; I saw the rave reviews and I just HAD to get it! Hope it arrives soon.
Also I hated GOT :(
I love Day One! I use it as a daily journal. Love that I can update on my Mac, iPad, iPhone and there is even an app for the Apple Watch.Â
I have a few knit and crochet patterns that can be used for charity or gifts. Â One is a watch cap and scarf from Seaman’s Church Institute. They can be returned to Seaman’s Church Institute to be given to sailors at Christmas. Â I give them to a local homeless shelter to be given to residents. Â I have a blanket pattern that is like the ubiquitous dishcloth only with any kind of yarn and appropriate needle size. Â Best for baby blankets and lap robes, though one person has made a bedspread. Â I also have a granny square pattern that is meant to be a bedspread, but I’ve used it for smaller afghans. Â I look for my favorite yarn to go on sale (sometimes at Annie’s Attic) and then buy copius quantities. Â Knitting or crocheting justifies TV watching. Â :-)
Have used Day One for years and absolutely love it. Â It’s excellent as you can have many different kinds of journals within the app (ie. Morning Pages, Food Journal, Exercise Journal, etc.). Â Plus you can also use it on your phone, iPad, Apple Watch, etc.
I love Day One!  I’ve been using it for almost a year now and it’s great.  Easy to add photos or video and  so far glitch free!
