Friday Things
1. Isabelle turned 7 months old this week! This girl is getting so big… so far, she LOVES food, gobbles up all of the yogurt and purees we offer her, and is lunging like a maniac at our plates, so she’s getting some nibbles of “real” food, too. She is SO close to crawling… she gets up on all fours, pulls one knee forward, then falls on her tummy, ha! And her hair is growing like crazy… it’s so long in the front that it’s starting to fall in front of her eyes, so she’s been rocking cute little headbands to keep it out of her face :)
2. I’m not sure what’s been in the air the last few days, but Joseph and Dominic have been playing SO nicely together, it is so wonderful. Most days there is a lot of refereeing over crying because of toys being taken, he pushed me, he’s doing something I don’t like, etc. The last couple of days that has been VERY minimal; they’ve been running around together, making up games, taking turns doing things, talking nicely to each other… it makes me so, so happy.
3. Last weekend, I went down a serious rabbit hole on Ancestry.com. I decided to start a little family tree and see what I could find. It prompted me to start with my dad, which led me down his father’s ancestry line, and I was able to trace the whole way back to around 1700. It was absolutely fascinating. First of all, there were members of his family living in the same small town that I grew up in since the mid-late 1700’s. That’s nuts! That part of the family all hails from Northern Ireland and England (I knew about Ireland, but not England); I can’t wait to see what else I can find.
4. Ever since Sirius turned on their holiday stations on November 1st, I’ve been listening regularly and don’t feel the least bit bad about it! Joseph has been singing Jingle Bells all year long, so the season has finally caught up to him, ha.
5. Speaking of, I received an Amazon toy catalog in the mail this week. I was surprised, and thought it was brilliant. When I was a kid, the day that the JCPenney Christmas toy catalog showed up in the mail was nearly as exciting as Christmas itself. Nothing will beat that catalog (it was the BEST!), but I was excited to see a toy catalog in the mail (I’m so old-school!).
6. If your weekend needs cheesy potatoes, this hashbrown casserole is calling your name!
7. Question: Do you enjoy “Friday Things” every week, or would you prefer them less often with perhaps more content? Something like this or this? Thoughts?
8. Thank you to reader Janet for sending me information about Operation Gratitude – they will take your leftover Halloween candy and include it in care packages to troops serving overseas. I love this idea, and today is the last day to ship it to them. If you have any excess candy lying around, this would certainly be a great way to get it out of the house! :)
9. Have any of you binged or started watching the final season of House of Cards? I want to watch it because I feel like I’ve invested so much time into this story and I want to see how it wraps up, but I am totally not motivated because I just can’t imagine how it will be even a fraction as good without Kevin Spacey’s character. Womp womp.
10. TGIF! I hope you enjoy something you love this weekend!
PLEASE do not change Friday Things. I look forward to it each and every week.
PLEASE don’t stop Friday Things! I love them! No changing it! Well, unless you need to for you and your family.
I just read this post – I LOVE your Friday Things! Please don’t stop doing them every week. I love seeing your kids and reading what you all are up to.
I love Friday Things…even if I get to it a few days late :)
I love your Friday Things!!! It’s definitely one of my favorite posts and I hope it doesn’t go anywhere.
I LOVE the Friday Things! Please keep!
I too love your “Friday Things” post and your weekend dish too…I may read it a day or two late if I’ve had a super busy week but I do read them every week
Pleas keep Friday things, Ive been reading since before Joseph was born. I love the little updates!
i love Friday Things as it is, please don`t change it
Hi Michelle, I love your Friday Things! If possible, I would love to see a picture of your whole family, including your husband, sometime, too!
Friday things is my favorite. I look forward to it every week. Please don’t change it.
A fan.
I really look forward to Friday things each week.
Looks like almost everyone agrees with me – please keep Friday Things! I feel the other examples you showed have TOO much going on. Your posts have just enough content.
I love Friday Things!!! I look so forward to seeing pictures of your beautiful children, dogs and reading what has gone on in your life the last week. PLEASE keep it :)
I love your Friday Things just the way it is. Don’t change it. By they way, your kids are adorable.
I hope you continue to post Friday Things. I just love watching your family grow. I might not ever have grand babies of my own so I’ve kind of adopted yours. Love their little faces and bare tootsies! I share your excitement as they learn new things and succeed in life’s journey. I would miss seeing them every week. I also love your beautiful pups at the end of your blog. They are like icing on the cake! I also look forward to the recipes you find from other food bloggers. Out of all of the food bloggers, I connect with you the most. Keep up the great work!
Michelle I really enjoy your site. I live in Australia and am old but I love cooking.
I enjoy reading about your children and dogs. I think you have a winning formula so please don’ change too much.
I LOVE Friday Things – look forward to reading it every Friday. The format is fantastic and you always cover great recipes, tv show recommendations and personal updates. The photos of your children and dogs are the best.
Please don’t change it! Thank you!!!
I love your weekly Friday Things posts…don’t change them!
I love the Friday Things, please don’t change it!!! I don’t comment on it often because I’m usually reading on my phone, but I do read it faithfully every week (along with all your other wonderful posts), and I love seeing what you and your kids are into.
I love Friday Things as it is! I look forward to pictures of your kids and your goldens.
Love Friday Things!!! And the weekend post too!
Don’t change a thing! I love your Friday posts!!!
Noooo! I’m for keeping Friday Things! I live in CA and we’ve never met, and our lives are totally different (except I’ve got 3 kids and live with a husband who’s a rabid Steelers fan and hails from PA), but man, every time I read FT it feels like I’m catching up with a good friend. It’s a cup of coffee and pie on a cold afternoon. Keep it. It’s awesome.
Love Friday Things!
I look forward to Friday Things! It’s the first thing I look for in my email!
Friday Things! I look forward to every Friday, coming home from work and reading your weekly happenings. Your kiddos are so cute and I love seeing/reading about them. :-)
I love & look forward to the weekly Friday Things. I think it’s perfect just as it is and wouldn’t change a thing.
don’t stop. finished house of cards. looking forward to new season. check out billions hbo show and last man on earth is pretty funny.
I really enjoy Friday Things even if you don’t have time to put as many links to other things food or otherwise. It’s likeaquick catchup with a friend. If you are thinking about cutting down the frequency because of your family needs, that’s understandable but you would be missed.
I have started on the final season of House of Cards. It felt like a long time between seasons so I went back and watched the last few episodes of last season. I’m wondering if Kevin had not been ousted whether more seasons would have been made after this one. I’m not sure it’s as devious as before because now it’s just her (and…well…a lot of other devious people😉 as always). I’m a bit on the fence so far about how much I like it. It does make one wonder if there really is so much behind the scenes intrigue in the WH.
II enjoy what you are doing now-a weekly update on Fridays, Thanks!
I love “Friday Things.” I hope you don’t change it.
Add me to those readers who really enjoy Friday Things every week! I look forward to it all week long, because it signals the beginning of the WEEKEND!
Friday Things posts are my favorite of yours by far, please don’t dial them back! I have two kids almost exactly the same ages as Joseph and Dominic so I especially love watching them grow up. I love your recipes as well but have been following the blog forever so all of these old recipes that you’re reposting lately I’ve already seen and tried.
Your Friday things is 100% part of my Friday morning, I wake up check my emails, and Facebook and either before work I will read it or once I get to work. Honestly in about 3 years I don’t think I have missed a Friday unless there was a glitch or you didn’t post. Don’t mess up our Fridays, haha!!
I LOVE and look forward to Friday Things!! I love seeing pics & hearing about your lovely children and I LOVE the pics of the beloved Golden Retrievers! I have two gold fur babies myself.
I look forward to Friday Things every week. Please, please don’t change it!
Please, PLEASE keep ‘Friday Things’ just as it is. I look forward to reading it every Friday.
I love Friday Things the way it is. I’ve been following your family for a long time and I enjoy seeing the kids and dogs grow and prosper. Please don’t change anything! You have beautiful children and I look forward to seeing them go to school, etc. Thanks for asking!
LOVE, Love, Love your “Friday Things”. Please don’t change a thing…unless you would like to extend it! :)
I love your Friday things and as far as I’m concerned, it’s perfect just as it is. Your children are adorable!!
I looove Friday Things! Keep it up :)
Love Friday Things! Love it just the way you created it! No less. no more. just the way it is!
Have a good weekend!!!
I agree with everyone that Friday Things is the best! I love reading it every Friday and seeing your kiddos and what you have all been up to. Love seeing the dogs too :)
Please don’t stop your Friday Things. I look forward to the pictures of your adorable bunch and I love to see what you are into each week, whether it be on Netflix, TV, recipes or sports!!!!
I *love* the weekly installments of Friday Things! They’re just the right length. It’s kind of like a weekly conversation between friends where you can more easily follow up on things that have been happening rather than a monthly catch-up one where some of the seemingly small, but important/influential things get brushed aside because they seem trivial at the time. One of the (many) things that has kept me checking in consistently for years (I’m afraid to count how many!) is how honest and down-to-earth your posts are, and this comes through most clearly in your Friday Things. I feel that the longer between installments, the more the risk of it turning into something like the annual Christmas card letter that glosses over those heartwarming “little” things. All that being said, I think I understand where the question might be coming from. Should you decide that you need to move to a monthly format for the sake of time with your lovely family, I totally get that and will keep coming back, eagerly anticipating your next post. You do wonderful work!
Reallly enjoy Friday Things—please keep it!
omg, we all went crazy on your comments section today right…so glad to see I’m not the only one that feels this way about your Friday things, quite touching actually to see everyone come together in unison about loving your blog, and how it has become a special part of our weeks. See, you are making a difference, a slice of hope and comfort in the midst of all of the craziness in this world…Keep on blessing us weekly hopefully :)
I love Friday Things just like it is!
Oh please keep the Friday Things. I look forward to it each week. My family is mostly grown now and reading this each week brings me happy feelings.
I enjoy reading Friday Things. Please don’t change it.
I love your Friday posts! Please keep them . My husband and I are missionaries in Haiti. Living in a 4th world country is not always easy so looking at your blog/website almost everyday gives me a piece of home and serenity. We are both originally from Pittsburgh, Pa. born and raised there. We moved to Erie, Pa 20 years ago. Our families are all still living in Pgh. We visit there frequently when we are home on furlough. I am happy to say that we will be home in Erie and Pgh. for the holidays. Looking at your blog and the pics, especially on Friday’s gives me a little piece of home. I also look forward to Saturday’s weekend posts. Love your blog. Keep up the good work. Many blessings on you and your family.
Bondye beni ou! ( God bless you in Creole language)
I love Friday things! I look forward to them every week
Came for the recipes stayed for the cutest pictures ever!
I look forward to your Friday Things every week. Please keep them coming!
I like your Friday things the way they are. A nice mix of everything already.
Michelle…..
Selfishly I hope you will continue your Friday Things. I do look forward to all your weekly goings-on. Once a month….oh dear, your sweeties would really grow up on me. Thanks… ;-)
I love the weekly Friday Things! It is so fun to see the pics of the kiddos and puppies and to hear about the non-food side of your life.
Please keep your “Friday Things” It is something I look forward to each week. I love to watch the kids grow but also look forward to your fur budy! I cried when you lost your other dog (for the life of me can’t remember their names!). Always enjoy your recipes and also when you highlight others recipes. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely love Friday things EVERY FRIDAY–I so look forward to it every week–Please don’t change.
Friday Things…please don’t change a thing!!!
I love hearing about your family, including the dogs. I still think about Einstein and miss him.💔
I would truly be very sad to not see updates on the kids. Y’all are like out-of-town family.
I also love Friday things and look forward to it every Friday. First thing I do when I get to work is read what is happening. I like that it is short and detailed and not like the others that take 20 to 30 minutes to read and give too much at one time. I also love your posts about what you make on Sunday and the recipes on other sites that look good. You have a beautiful family and thanks for sharing.
I live your Friday things!!! I follow you, Sally and Lindsey on Instagram and I frequent your websites Ankit when I’m looking for a recipe. I love that you send out your Friday email/post weekly and unlike that it’s bullet points. I’d read more non food posts….but I like that it’s bullet point!
Please don’t change Friday things! I don’t cook all that much anymore but really enjoy reading about the kids, etc.
I love your recipes but I look forward to Friday Things and Weekend Dish every week. I occasionally visit both Sally’s Baking Addiction and Pinch of Yum but didn’t enjoy either Coffee Break or Coffee Date. In fact, I couldn’t read either of them all the way through. I think the problem was too much content. Friday Things has just the right amount of content.
I love getting Friday Things every week! Please don’t stop. (Unless it’s just too much with three kids- I totally get that, lol.)
I enjoy your Friday Things post. It’s nice to “get to know you” and hear your family updates.
Please don’t change a thing about “Friday Things”. Just love it and it is always the 1st e-mail I look at on Friday mornings. Seeing your beautiful children and Duke and Judith just warms my heart and puts a smile on my face.
By the way, I think Duke looks so much happier since he has a new playmate. Thank you for all your yummy food posts and a little glimpse into your family life.
I look forward to Friday Things! Please keep it in your rotation….
It’s a perfect snapshot of your family… And just long enough!😊
Keep posting the Friday Things – always enjoy reading them. As a kid, I also loved the JC Penney Xmas Catalog. My siblings & I would make lists of all the things we wanted. Since there were five of us, I know we never got all (or any) of the things on our lists & would never have complained. Also went through the Sears & Montgomery Ward catalogs in the fall to list all of the school clothes we wanted. Memories…
LOVE Friday Things – don’t stop. Look for it every week.
PLEASE continue your FRIDAY THINGS column each week. I certainly enjoy your website and so many of my recipes have come from your site. Yet, I can’t wait to read your FRIDAY posts about your children. Each Friday is so much warmer and kinder after I read FRIDAY THINGS. Keep the SATURDAY post also. THANK YOU for all you do! Your hard work and creativity are appreciated!
I love the Friday posts – it’s part of my Friday routine to always read your post first in Feedly. Please keep up with the weekly posts!
I like the Friday emails every week.
I love Friday Things- hearing about your kids, pictures of the pups, and slices of your busy life.
It is one of the highlights of the week. Please keep it in your blog!
I love Friday things Just the way it is! Ancestry is addicting just so you know! I have been working on mine for 14 years and I never get bored always something new to pique my intrest
I love Friday Things! Look forward to hearing about your kids- pictures of the pups and a wrap up of the week. I only follow your food blog on a regular basis and enjoy your voice and recipes.
I am from Pittsburgh also and I look forward to your Friday things. I vote to keep it and hope to continue to see it in my inbox.
Have a great weekend in the Burg!!!
I love that you are excited about tracing your ancestors.
Please keep Friday things just as it is. It’s perfect
Also we take a supplement called Del-Immune V. Started around 5 years ago and we have not had a cold since. They are wonderful to talk to don’t know about children but at least for u and your husband.
Please keep your Friday Things just the way they are! A glimpse into your life each week is lovely. As you record your milestones, I remember the childhood of my children, who now have almost-grown-up children of their own. I rejoice with you over triumphs, and commiserate with you over the arguing. I always told my kids that giving them siblings was one of the best things I ever did for them. Throughout their lives, they have someone who has their back, and who always understands their reasoning. Your family is just precious!
I love your Friday things posts! I actually look forward to reading them every week 😊💕.
I love your recipes but the thing I look forward to most on your site is Friday Things! Don’t change it! We’re similar in age and I love watching your family grow and change as mine does
Will join in with the rest I love Friday Things! Even when I’m not into your recipes for that week I know i will enjoy Friday’s post!
I look forward to Friday Things each week. Love to see how your children are growing each week. Also your pictures of your fur babies. So Cute.
I look forward to your “Friday Things” just as you do it. Always read it and love watching your kids grow!!
My youngest brother has been interested in our ancestry since he had his won kids. Our parents seldom talked about family history but we do know my grandfather came from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. My grandfather was illiterate and did not even know his actual birthdate so we never knew how old he really was. That said, my brother connected,…through Ancestory.com…with a genealogist in Ireland and eventually was able to get lots of info about my grandfather’s family in Ireland. Just last month my brother and his wife finished a business trip to Europe with a detour to Ireland on their way home.They were able to see where my grandfather lived, the cemetery where our great-grandparents are buried and were able to meet a couple. of second cousins. My brother was super happy for sure.
I live Friday things…please don’t stop.
I love Friday Things every week. It’s the first thing I read on Fridays!
Love to see Friday Things arrive in my mailbox, just as it is!!
I, for one, totally love and enjoy everything about your blog. I look forward to Friday Things very much.
I am 67 and I follow many blogs but yours is by far my favorite. I enjoy keeping up with your family and your pets and your recipes are so practical and mostly everyday types.
Even your suggestions of good series to watch has been great and we tend to enjoy the same ones as you do!!
Thank You for taking the time to bring joy and realness to your blog–
Sharon
The official start of my weekend is Friday Things. Please don’t stop them. I also adore the Weekend Dish. You are my VERY FAVORITE blogger.
Never get rid of Friday’s!!! I LOVE seeing your family grow. I enjoy your recipes even more “family recipes’.
I look forward to Friday Things every week!
I vote no change!
Do. Not. Stop. Friday Things. Do. Not. Change. Friday Things.
I love reading Friday Things, also Saturday musings, love to know what you are having for Sunday dinner and what you have bookmarked
I love the Friday Things! You are sweet to allow us a glimpse into your personal life. Your kids are adorable! This is one of my favorite blogs!
I really look forward to Friday Things. I find it comforting! I hope you keep it going
You asked whether we liked ‘Friday Things’ and the answer is YES! I absolutely love your Friday post, and hearing about your wonderful family every week. My children are all grown up, so it’s lovely to hear all about your children (and treasure every moment, because it goes so, so fast). I really look forward to the Friday posting (so reiterate the ‘please don’t stop!), and I wouldn’t change a thing. I did take a look at the other suggested websites, but I actually think yours is way better. It shows a ‘real’ family, whereas the others are just a little bit too glossy!
I look forward to Friday Things every week and love reading your family updates and weekly thoughts! I vote for keeping it weekly but understand it is more work for you in your already busy life. If you needed to cut back on the frequency, I promise to only get a little mad. 😉
Don’t ever stop Friday Things please! Love it!
You asked whether we liked’ Friday Things’ and the answer is YES! I love your Friday posting, and hearing all about your lovely family. My children are all grown up, so it’s lovely to remember those wonderful years when they are so small (treasure every moment, because it goes way too fast). If anything, I’d like more content (but I know you must be super busy). I did have a look at the other websites you listed, but I think yours is actually much better. So, please keep these going!
I have been looking forward to Friday’s to read your Friday Things posts for years and I am now enjoying them more than ever! I appreciate your opinions and review of Netflix binging options, internet finds of all kinds, news about the kids and pretty much everything else. Don’t change a thing!!
I look forward to reading your Frday Things. Please! Don’t change it. I like it even more because it’s not like every9ne else’s Coffee Talk posts.
The frequency of Friday things is just perfect. And I look forward to reading it and seeing your pictures each week! Please leave it like it is.
I really enjoy Friday Things! Infact, I love everything ! It is perfect just the way it is!
Have a great weekend!
I love Friday things! Your way is totally great, the other 2 link options were fine also. Sorry, no help there!! As long as you keep posting pics of your cutie patooties, i’m good!!
Please don’t change a thing. Friday Things is great just the way it is.
p.s. I like that we enjoy most of the same shows on Netflix!
I have been reading your blog since before you were married and <3 Friday Things! It feels like a little peek into your life and like we've been "friends" for years. Please don't change!!
Please don’t stop Friday Things. I look forward to this post more than your receipes which I love. I started following you when it was just you and the 2 dogs funny how I don’t know you but I now think it’s been 5 years.
Hi Michelle!
I look forward to your “Friday Things” posts each week! Although a monthly post that’s longer would be nice, I think I would enjoy the weekly posts better (mainly because I would be sad to see them less often!). I love the variety of topics each Friday.
Thank you for doing what you do!!! :)
Leighanna
I love your ‘Friday Things’ that arrive each Friday! Your family photos are great and ideas, thoughts and links are perfect! Please keep it in the same format and weekly frequency-I so enjoy watching your family grow and change. :)
I hope you keep Friday Things weekly, too, just as it is now.
I enjoy reading Friday Things every Friday. I always check out the videos that you mention. I am from Pittsburgh and love all things Pittsburgh even though I haven’t lived there for many, many years I love hearing about what’s happening in that great city. So keep up the great work! Thanks!
Hey Michelle, I love Friday things. It along with the weekend dish are the two posts I never miss each week.
Also I’ve been unmotivated to watch house of cards too but I may get to it soon. I just finished the final season of breaking bad which blew my mind. I need something to fill the void.
Hi Michelle,
I love Friday Things. I look forward to seeing your darling kiddos and dogs. I like the recommends of books or other things. I follow both of the other bloggers, and while I like theirs as well, I’ve always liked yours better. I do understand with 3 kids that it may just be too much right now. Whatever you decide, I will stay a loyal follower!
Hi Michelle! I start off every Friday morning with a mug of coffee reading your Friday things- it’s like reading a news letter to me, and I for one would be so sad if you stopped. :)
Please keep your Friday things! I love reading about your sweet family and doggies!
I LOVE Friday things! I would not change a thing!
I look forward to reading Friday Things. I’m ok with it just as it is. Thanks for sharing!
Nooooooo……don’t change Friday Things! I love your weekly updates on the family. I love your suggestions for products, binge watching, etc. I love that you ask for feedback and I can read the comments and see what other people think. I love that my Fridays always have this little bit of sunshine to see me through! I read Pinch of Yum and the coffee dates are just too spread out to keep me connected to the blogger – I don’t know when to look for them exactly, so I don’t and time goes by. I don’t read Sally’s Baking Addiction, although I’ve been to the site, but it looks similar to Pinch of Yum for her coffee breaks, but perhaps even less predictable. When I started reading Pioneer Woman years ago, I loved that she posted content daily about her life, usually with recipes – but the stories about life on the ranch were what made me open her blog every single day. Same with you, I love that you so kindly and generously share with us your own story along with incredible recipes that never fail. I only want to know when your cookbook is coming out, when you are going to do a Bobby Flay throwdown (does he still do those????) and when you are getting your own cooking show????
Friday Things is one of my most favorite parts of Fridays! I don’t often comment on your posts, but I do read them :) And I just had to come show support for Friday Things :) Thank you for being willing to give us a tiny glimpse into your life. I love seeing Joseph, Dominic and Isabelle growing up. Not to mention Duke and Judith! Keep it comin’!
Love Friday things! It’s so fun to see what your family has been up to and watch as your kids grow. I agree with earlier comment – your Friday things feels very real and I appreciate that in the world of staged photos. Please keep doing what you are doing!
Please keep the weekly Friday things ! If only so that when I get up on Friday mornings, I know it’s Friday😄
Seriously I’ve been a loyal BEB follower for years and look forward to this post every week! It’s always a joy!
I look forward to Friday things all week long ,,,,it has just enough content and pictures…and I enjoy it being weekly…I hope you don’t change it…
Love Friday Things just the way it is. Don’t change a thing!
I love your “Friday Things” just like they are! Don’t change a thing…
I look forward to it every Friday. It’s great hearing about the kiddos.
I love your Friday things! It is so fun to hear about your family and what is going on with you!
Please leave “Friday Things” just as is. I so enjoy your pictures and I love that you share your life with us. I look forward to this every week!
I love your Friday theme and always read them. thanks!!
I love seeing your Friday posts every week! I like seeing the weekly pictures of your beautiful kids and dogs – just the way you’ve been formatting it! It feels like we’re sitting down catching up on what happened the past week.
I look forward to your Friday posts every week! So don’t change those! The “coffee breaks” that other sites do are too spaced out. We feel more in touch with you since you keep us updated regularly.
Love your Friday things! It’s a great way to connect with you personally and also has a lot of useful articles/tips. Also love your favorites of the month! I have young kids as well, so your favorites always seem right in line with what I need as a mom! You are doing a great job with your blog! Thank you!
I’d miss it, please keep doing what you are doing.
Michelle, you asked for feedback about your “Friday Things.” I looked at the two other examples you offered. Honestly, I look forward to your weekly updates, particularly with the children’s developments, and would miss them if you wrote less often. While I’d love to read more about each child, you don’t have spare time so I’d say the content and frequency is just right at this stage of your life. One thing I’d like to know is what your husband’s name is! At least since I’ve been following you, I’ve never seen it. Won’t you share? Maybe a pic of daddy too? Who do the kids favor ? (I know about the chin dimple). If that’s too personal, I would understand. This is your Thing, not his although he’s your biggest fan. Anyway, thanks for all you do and for letting us follow along with your life! Cheers!
I love your weekly Friday things post!
I LOVE your Friday Things post..it is part of my Friday morning routine!!!!! Please don’t change a thing!!!! :) I love reading all about your kids, dogs & just life in general.
I love YOUR Friday Things email the most! I clicked thru to see the ones you recommended, and I get those but almost always never read them. Yours is something I look forward to reading on Friday and I hope you never change them!! I love catching up with the going ons of a family that kind of mirrored mine a few years ago. Have a wonderful weekend!!
I usually skip past “personal” blog posts, and don’t care about random people’s kids, but I looooooove Friday Things. I have no idea why (maybe because of the puppies at the end!) I think I really enjoy how broad and real it is (you’re definitely the only food blog I read who’s into hockey–go Leafs!). I always read it with my coffee before work on Fridays. It really signals the end of the week for me, and I would miss it if it was gone!
I love the Friday posts!
Definitely keep Friday things! I read it each Friday morning! With the 2 examples you gave if other blog sites, I thought they were a bit too long. Love your format!
I love Friday Things!
If you must take the column in a different direction because the kids are young, I get it & will deal. But I prefer every Friday. I look forward to it!
I love Friday things exactly how you do it !!!!
It’s just enough to read before work … and I love you’re recommendations ( and of course catching up
With your lovely family !!!)
Just love Friday Things!!! Actually waiting for it!!! Don’t change a thing!!! ;-)
Please don’t stop your Friday Things! I just love it, it’s become part of my Friday routine and it makes me feel like I know you and you’re part of my life, even though we live on the opposite side of the world!
I love your Friday things, I look forward to it every Friday. Don’t change a thing- Please! :)
I LOVE “Friday Things” just as it is! My family was from Pittsburgh and I enjoy hearing about things your family does in the area. And it is wonderful to hear about how your children are growing up….please don’t change a thing! 😊
Love Friday Things! Please keep it going!
I love Friday things!
Please don’t change a thing. I look forward to Friday things every week,
I love Friday Things!! It is a lovely slice of your life. It is so genuine, not staged to be picture perfect. It is the first thing I read Friday mornings! Please keep it weekly!
Oh I love Friday Things! It’s the first thing I read on Friday morning to get ready for my weekend! So fun to see the kids and the dogs and hear about your awesome family! Please don’t stop!
Please keep going on Friday Things! I have been following your blog for years and I look forward to it every week. :)
I love Friday Things, it is one of my favourite blog posts of all the blogs I follow. It arrives in my Feedly feed at 2pm on Friday afternoons and then I read it on the tram on the way home. It’s a great start to my weekend! I’d definitely vote to keep it as a weekly thing 😊
Hi Michelle! Your Friday Things is the highlight of my week and the first thing I read evey Friday morning. The end of my week just wouldn’t be the same without it!
Agree with everyone above!
I love your Friday things, its so nice to catch up each week on all your family’s on-goings. I second Georgina’s comment ‘please don’t stop’ : )

Thought my first comment disappeared, so I posted a second one, whoops!
I love reading Friday Things, it really signals the end of the week for me and I love catching up on all your updates. Please don’t stop!!
I also love the Friday Things format and each of the topics you cover (a recipe recommendation, TV show ideas, product recommendations, and of course the personal updates – and the cute doggie pictures). It’s the last of the personal email updates I read before I force myself to get back to my job. Please don’t stop!
