Friday Things #509
1. Thank you to everyone who has asked how Dominic’s recent scans turned out; we got word from his oncologist late last week that the scans looked good; he remains in remission! He also received neuroblastoma vaccine injection #5 while we were there. Thank you, as always, for keeping him in your prayers ❤️
2. My sister got Isabelle an apron for Christmas, and she LOVES it; whenever I’m in the kitchen, she takes out her apron and asks what she can help with. She is such a wonderful helper!
3. Both of the boys received awards at school this week; both were nominated by their respective teachers for exemplifying kindness, helpfulness, a good work ethic, and getting along with classmates. I can’t even express how much my heart was bursting with pride 💗
4. If you seal and save puzzles, do you end up framing them? I have sealed a couple of them and after I finished my most recent puzzle, I was about to put it back in the box, but the kids begged me to save it. So I ordered more of the Mod Podge Puzzle Saver that I use, but I haven’t actually done anything else with the few puzzles that I have sealed.
5. I love this tip >> Declutter By Asking Yourself One Simple Question
6. Tomorrow is National Carrot Cake Day… what are your favorite carrot cake add-ins? I LOVE pineapple, raisins, coconut, and pecans!
7. Has anyone felt like all of January has been a stutter step in getting the year started? Between more rounds of illnesses here, the trip to New York, and lots of random errands… I feel like we haven’t had one normal week or even half a week!
8. TV talk! We really liked Blue Lights and also started No Offence (BritBox), which we are loving!
9. I just saw a promo for The Greatest Night in Pop on Netflix, which is a behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of the “We Are the World” single back in the ’80s. I can’t wait to watch!
10. TGIF! These two are just the best of friends 💙🩷
Michelle, so very happy to hear Dominic’s scans showed he’s doing well.
Proud two of both Joseph & Dominic for their good citizenship awards at school. Awesome!!
Happy to see that Isabelle is excited about helping you cook in her new apron. A happy posting all the way around 😊❤️.
Always love seeing Alice & Duke.
Love to the whole family

Continuing to pray for you, Dominic and the rest of the family. Love Isabelle’s apron. I think we are finally supposed to see the sun here in PA. Have a good weekend.
I am so happy that Dominic’s scans came back good. What great kids you have raised. Continued prayers for your family🙏❤. And hugs to your pups.🐾🐶
I just watched The Greatest Night in Pop tonight and it was amazing! As a true child of the 80s, I remember when that song was originally released and when it was played simultaneously on all radio stations. I had no idea it was recorded in one night and what went into the writing and recording! It was fascinating!
Thank God you got a great report for Dominic! I will continue to pray! You have amazing children. God bless you all. ❤️
I’m so happy for Dominic🙏🏻 You’re children are lovely! Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanking God for a wonderful result for Dominic Isabelle looks so cute in her apron.How proud you must be of your boys the wonderful comment of their teacher. This is what we need in schools today.
Such great news re: Dominic!
Loved The Greatest Night In Pop! Just finished it yesterday. Who knew how much work goes into all the steps of recording a song and with such a large group of artists. Amazing!
American Nightmare was infuriating but great to watch. Enjoying Criminal Record on Apple TV but wish all the episodes were there at once.
I’m stunned how quickly this winter seems to be going. I’m going with the American groundhog because the Canadian one said 6 more weeks of winter. 😒
You certainly CAN frame your puzzles! After it’s been Mod-Podged (is that a word? lol) simply measure it, allowing an inch or so on each side. You should be able to find an inexpensive plastic frame at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc. I got mine at Michaels.
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to upload a pic here.
Great news—will continue to keep Dominic in my prayers.
I am so, so pleased that Dominic is in remission. I will pray that it always remains this way. I hope that you can relax and get some much needed rest xx
Prayers will continue for Dominic and your entire family! Wonderful blessed news!
Thank you for all of your updates and beautiful photos! Your blog is just the BEST for easy, practical recipes! THANK YOU for all of the work you put into it.
Happy News!!
God Bless you, Dominic….prayers continue.
Your heart must be bursting, Michelle !! What wonderful qualities Dominic & Joseph exhibit!! You & your husband are doing a good job!! ❤️❤️
February is here!! Hang in there! How many more days till Spring???
So happy that Dominic is doing well. Will keep him in my prayers.
And it’s no surprise both boys got awards for kindness… you are great parents and raising well-adjusted children.
PS Not only is Isabell beautiful, but she has great hair!!
Michelle, My heart is happy for your family learning that our prayers were answered for Dominic! May each day be a blessed day for your beautiful family! ❤️🙏
Love keeping up with you and yours on Friday things; and I love your recipe posts too.
Love that apron!
Love no offense. Especially the last season
YIPPEE!! So glad to hear the great results on Dominic’s scans. Your kids are all such great little people. You & hubs are doing a great job!!
Our January has been a sluggish start, too. Congratulations to Dominic and Joseph for their very special award. How wonderful they are showing their character at this age. Love the pic of your kitchen helper Isabelle and her apron. If you and your family love puzzles, you may want to check out Fox Smart Box-Jigfoxy. They make beautiful puzzles using unique shapes pertaining to the puzzles. Tiny pieces. I gave a few of them as presents this year to nieces and nephew. The whole family ended up working on them together. I ordered through Amazon.
Happy weekend and may your February bring sunshine and smiles.
Lord, continue to Bless Dominic.
Great news on Dominic. All of you remain in my prayers.
