Friday Things #388
1. We had the first day of school this week! It seemed like foreverrrrr since the boys had been in school and while we are starting the year remotely, they were so excited to start. Joseph has just been so thrilled to be learning again and in a pseudo classroom environment. I’ve been so impressed with the technology and integration with the online students, and needless to say, teachers are seriously amazingggggg 🙌
2. Dominic only has a snippet of class on Zoom, and then we have some crafts and activities to do at home. He made a rainbow fish this week and was SO proud of it ❤️️
3. Isabelle desperately wants to “go school too”… soon enough, baby girl, but for now you get extra snuggles 💖
4. It is beyond comprehension how Joseph can actually be in kindergarten. I mean, he was just a giggle little baby a hot minute ago, but I was surprised at how not overly weepy I was at this milestone; he was SO excited the night before the first day that it was infectious and I felt so much joy and excitement for him. Granted, as I said, we are doing school remotely this quarter, so I may feel totally different the first time he actually gets dropped off! 😉
5. This post was written from a mom to her daughters, but I feel like it is so appropriate for all of us, no matter where we are in life.
6. Yesssss to all of this >> 8 Outdated Rules for Healthy Eating
7. A long, but good read >> If You’re Too Busy for These 5 Things…
8. I can still remember watching the Challenger disaster sitting on the floor in my grandma’s living room, so I am incredibly intrigued by the Netflix documentary coming out next week.
9. We’ve started watching Victoria on Amazon Prime… since we love The Crown so much, we figured we’d like it, and we do! Very good so far, love that it’s the story of Queen Elizabeth’s great-great-grandmother.
10. TGIF! Buddy time!
I accidentally deleted or unsubscribed to the Friday Things. I was trying to click a link and clearly did the wrong one- how can I get back to the list?
Thank you!

They grow up so fast. I can remember when my grandson was about the same age as Joseph running around the house and now he’s 13. Before you know it they’ll ALL in school.
They are precious & so is Duke!
I can see HALOS on their heads!
Thank you for scrumptious recipes.
Gosh….Joseph looks so grown up now. I just love your blog and recipes!!! Thank you for all your efforts in providing great recipes and posts!!
Hi, haven’t had a chance to check the links yet, but just had to say: Dominic’s fish is groovy (am I showing my age?), congrats to Joseph on “graduating” to kindergarten, and Isabelle, you’re next! But you get to keep Mom company so she doesn’t get lonely. Re Victoria, I’d be surprised if you’re not getting angsty about when Season 4 will drop after you’ve watched and loved 1-3. It is so well acted and produced, even for non-Anglophiles. And mostly factual, if a bit dramatic-licensed. We fans are jonesing, because pre-Covid it was thought it might be out last month. Keep safe, Peace, Buddy.
Your kids are so sweet. Pups too. Have a good weekend!
Thanks, Michelle, for another awesome post, interesting links, and adorable family photos!! 💗
What beautiful pictures. Your children are so beautiful…doggies too😊. Isabelle sure looks like you more and more. Dominic looks so sporty and handsome in this pic. Of course Joseph is adorable. What a blessing to see such healthy loved children.
Thank you for sharing as you do.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us all these years! Oh yes I love the recipes too they are what got me started. Honestly even when don’t have time to cook as much I always keep coming back because I look forward to the pictures you share on Fridays. First it was the pictures of pups who always made me smile and now your kiddos and the pups are brightening every Friday! Again thank you!
Blessings to you and your beautiful family!
Babies are sure getting big. Love the look of adoration on Isabelle as she looks at Joseph.
Fur babies look beautiful you must spend a lot of time brushing. them?
That Rainbow fish Dominic is Awesome!!! Great job 😊. It’s wonderful when the kids show such enthusiasm for learning !!! & Isabelle will learn so much from her brothers !!! Wanted to tell you I made your chicken & dumplings recipe last night & we all loved it ! I served it with a salad & it was awesome ❤️ Thank you again for another great dish 🥰
Wow, is it Friday already? Every time you post your kiddos’ pictures, it seems they’ve grown a few more inches, they’re all so adorable. Good luck for their “school year” this year, better at home to be home schooled than going to school and risk getting sick. Really like #7, has some very important items on the list that I will re read.
I guess today will be a day of quiet reflection for 9/11 . My thoughts are with you all on this day from a Canadian friend.
How does Joseph look so much like Sidney Crosby?! Or am I just losing it 😂
Yes, confirming, no links either in my email. :-(
Good Morning Michelle,
It is so great to see all the bright shining faces in your family at the end of each week.
Just a technical point that your other readers might appreciate too. The links to numbers 5, 6 and 7 are not in the post. Would love to read them.
Enjoy your weekend!
I noticed that too, but they’re in the blog.
