Friday Things #452
1. Last weekend, I briefly heard the kids awake out in the hallway early but dozed back off and woke up a little while later. They often find each other in the morning and play in each other’s rooms, but it was so quiet and when I came downstairs… I found them all in the playroom together, Joseph and Isabelle coloring and Dominic working on a puzzle. They seemed so grown up!!
2. Ina Garten is so fantastic, I love how much she seems to just love life and doesn’t apologize for it.
3. This is absolutely mind-blowing…
4. And now I really want to rewatch The Golden Girls from the beginning!
5. I’m not really into celebrity news or gossip, but this article about candid celebrity photographs from the 90’s and how it was the “last good time” totally hit home for me! I was in high school during the mid-90’s and it absolutely felt that way… no one had cell phones, nothing was posted on social media; looking back, we were so free! Apparently, I am now old enough to reminisce about how much better things were “back in my day” 😂
6. We’re forecasted to get a snow storm on Sunday night and everyone in this house is verrryyyyyy excited! We’ve barely gotten any snowflakes so far this year, and we’ve been waiting!
7. THIS >>
8. Gosh, I feel this so much! I’ve been needing my “close up” glasses more and more lately!
9. Love, love, loved the Yellowstone finale (gah, SO GOOD, I hope they make a million seasons of that show, can’t get enough). We also started 1883, which we’re enjoying! And now we’re catching up on the last two seasons of Cobra Kai to relive our childhoods 😉
10. TGIF! These two know how to relax!
I’m almost the same age as Ina, but my goals match Reese’s (except I don’t always get outside). :-) We got our first major snow in KC last night. Everything is pretty & white and I’m staying inside!
As much as I enjoy your recipes, your “Friday Things” posts are what I look forward to the most. Â Thanks for sharing!
I like Joe Pickett, got into right away.
I’ve tried twice now to watch Yellowstone and I just can’t do it.  Some of characters I’ve seen so far are so unlikable which I’ve been told is why a lot of people watch it.
Your no. 7 resonated with me as I feel like right now I’m wishing my life away to a time when covid has eased so that restrictions are no longer in place.  I’ve cancelled 4 cruises since it all started and this was supposed to be my fun, carefree retirement.  I realize I’m very privileged to be able to plan these things but having to cancel makes me sad.
I’m with Ina Garten!  Love reading about your family.  Thanks for sharing them with us.
Cobra Kai never diesÂ
Thankyou for this! It was really good. I almost thought I wrote it myself. Lol Thankyou for this.

I look forward to receiving your email every Friday, what a breath of fresh air! Thanks so much!

Duke and Judith seem to know how to just appreciate the moment they are in!
I agree with you assessment about the 90″ being the last time were were really free…no Facebook or “alternative facts” or misinformation. No pressure to present ones’ self online as Instagram perfect, no missing so much because we are looking at our phones. The 90’s seem like a lifetime away for sure. I honestly cannot imagine how difficult it must be for pre-teens and teens to navigate the challenging process of just growing up with so much coming at them constantly.
One plus of the Internet is wonderful, uplifting, positive blogs like BEB. Thanks for sharing your sweet family every Friday.
Good Morning Michelle!🌞
You really gave me food for thought today. I loved that message you posted about wishing your life away.
It made me realize that’s exactly what I’ve been doing!Â
Thanks!Â
