Friday Things
1. We have all been sick this week AGAIN. Ugh. Since Joseph started preschool, it’s been approximately once a month… he always gets sick first, then the rest of us get it about 3 days later. Same thing happened this time, but this is the sickest Dominic has ever been, he’s so miserable and I feel awful for him. Joseph missed school picture day on Tuesday, womp womp. And to top it off, yesterday was my husband’s birthday, and we were all just a sick cranky bunch at home. Bummer :(
2. I’m starting to plan ahead for when the baby is born, so if you have any Easter/spring/early summer recipe requests, send them my way! :)
3. Once I find the time to start crocheting again, I really, really want to make a temperature blanket. It would be easy enough to keep up with, and the colors would probably be gorgeous!
4. This made me laugh >> When someone calls you instead of texting you back
5. Did you watch the Super Bowl? First of all, it was an awesome game just from a sports fan perspective, so thrilled the Eagles won, and hands-down, the absolute best commercial was Eli Manning recreating Dirty Dancing:
6. Also, thoughts on the half-time show? I was totally meh about it. But I’m not really a Justin Timberlake fan; his music is fine, but I don’t get the crazy hype.
7. Confession: I do not like CheezIts. I’ve never liked CheezIts, and every so often I eat them thinking that I might like them. Nope. Apparently that’s not happening. However, I LOVE homemade CheezIts!
8. The Olympics finally started! Which events do you love watching? I’m always hooked on downhill skiing, figure skating, speed skating, luge, bobsled… okay, I love so many of them!
9. I’m admittedly not a Will Smith fan, but really liked this >> Fault vs. Responsibility
10. TGIF! I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
Agree with you that the Super Bowl halftime show was pretty blah this year. Â Just disappointing. Â Really missing Katy Perry and Left Shark! Â Haha
Have been sick this week too….and now my dad has it …mom had it first…lol….
the boys look great as usual – so sad that they have been sick
looking for easy spring dinners – meats including side items – I run out of ideas of things to make for dinner
Instant Pot recipes! Especially anything I can freeze ahead of time and just pop in there. Bonus for meat and veggie IP recipes! :-)
I miss my daughter being little, but don’t miss the childhood illness. You should try cheeze it extra toasty. Makes a big difference.
Hi Barb, The germs are seriously insane! I’ve never been sick this much! Those sound delicious, I’ll try them!
I’m crocheting a temperature scarf this year – much more manageable to keep up with!
Oh how fun!! Totally going to do one at some point!
Poor Joseph…that happens when they start school but it usually gets better with time. What a bummer EVERYONE is sick!! I am looking forward to the Olympics…your favorites are same as mine. ( actualiy, I like almost everything.)
What a great Super Bowl (unless your a Patriots fan!?) I’m happy for PA….and the back up quarterback. What a great job!
I like Justin T. singing ok but I was disappointed in his half-time show. I like CHEEZEITS but only eat them occasionally.
Now those homemade cheezeIts sound great…might have to try that. Hope your all feeling better real soon!
Thanks so much Char!
Michelle, I could not stop laughing on #4…. Thanks!
Prayers that Dominc (and all) are all better SOON… ((HUGS))!
I like Cheez-Its, maybe Goldfish (LOTS of flavors now) are a good sub for you…?? I don’t dislike J.T. but have never gotten the hype…
I think every parent can relate! Kid germs pack a mighty punch! One thing that helped decrease the spread of germs for my family was to move from a communal towel (for drying hands) to the disposable Kleenex hand towels. That small change has made a big difference for my family! Hope y’all feel better soon!
Ugh, we’ve done this, too… I think it’s been a year or so, maybe longer, since we switched to them.
Not a Philadelphia fan but was proud they won. Had surgery the next day. Sorry you have all been sick.
Hi Linda, I hope you’re recovering well! We’re not Philly fans either, in general, but we were for the Super Bowl!
sorry to hear about you all continuing a cold. I had a friend who told me that ever since his daughter is in kiddy school. she continues to get sick and brings the colds to the house. I would suggest get your vitamin C and D before the cold season (like all year round). do lemonades at home etc. he finally got tired of her get sick. took her out of the school and waited for pre k. he said I am paying for a school that she constanly missing because of contant colds. Al kids get sick in the school all the time, when one gets better, another one gets sick and it just continues to make its rounds.
I felt bad for the doggy. He or she looked scared :\
Duke’s actually just relaxing (and smiling) in Dominic’s room during bedtime. No need to feel bad, he’s happy, definitely not scared! :)
Hang in there! When my son was in day care, we were sick all the time. It was so frustrating. He will hopefully grow out of it when he is school age. That happened to us. Cute picture 🙂
Thanks Kristin! I hear they grow out of it in a couple of years, so fingers crossed!
I don’t like Cheez-its either (such a weird taste), but I LOVE Cheddar Jack Cheez-its! You should try them and see if you like them. I definitely need to try homemade!
Ooooh I’ve never tried those, will pick them up!
Elderberry. It is awesome for building up immunity or for preventing a sickness from knocking you completely down.Â

He already takes it, has been for quite awhile. Apparently it doesn’t work so well on him!
Poor Joseph!!! Does he take elderberry? My daughter  takes it (started them on it at age 2) daily in a gummy and rarely gets sick. I take them too! It’s an amazing immune booster!Â
Yep, he does. Apparently he’s immune to the immunity booster, HA.
