Friday Things #515

1. I am happy to share that Dominic underwent outpatient surgery early on Monday morning to have his central line removed. The procedure was pretty quick, there were no complications, and he was home before lunchtime. He’ll have another week or so for the site to heal and then will have no restrictions. I’m pretty certain he feels free as a bird 😄💙 Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes!
2. A couple of weeks ago, Isabelle had a piece of bacon on her breakfast plate that she didn’t finish. She proceeded to get a baggie, write her name on it with a sharpie, and then dropped the bacon in and put it in the refrigerator. Later that day, she took it out to eat and oh my gosh, I loved this on so many levels! Love that she claimed her bacon and she wanted to make sure no one else ate it, and also that she thought through doing all of that herself!
3. Joseph was hit with another bout of strep over the weekend; luckily this time it didn’t spread to anyone else! He had a sweet pup that spent a lot of time on the couch with him ❤️

4. I don’t need a new jigsaw puzzle yet, but I saw this Blockbuster Era Puzzle, and my goodness, it is basically a picture of my entire youth!
5. I love the shift of perspective here >> The Seven Laws of Success
Save This Recipe
6. Are you doing anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday? If you’re looking for food (especially desserts!), check out all of my St. Patrick’s Day recipes. I think I’m going to make a batch of shamrock-shaped cut-out sugar cookies ☘️
7. I am on the hunt for comfortable pajamas for myself… do you have any recommendations? Preferably not the button/collared style… either crew neck or tank tops with shorts or light pajama pants.
8. Need a jump-start on spring cleaning? This list is a great place to start >> 9 Things to Reduce in Your Home to Save You Time
9. We are still watching Reign, but saw that Oppenheimer is now available to watch on Peacock, so we will add that to the list! Have you seen it yet?
10. TGIF! Such exhaustion 😂




Yay for Dominic!
Lake pajamas! They’re the best, they’ve basically replaced all my others!
Lake pajamas are the bomb. I have several, both shorts and long pants.
Congratulations to Dominic, a brave little boy. May he have a great summer. Hoping Joseph is feeling better. My PBS station had all 6 episodes of Magpie Murders & of course I had to watch all 6. They were over at 2AM & Today I feel like your pup falling off its bed. :)
I am so happy for Dominic getting his central line removed. I am sure that he so happy to have it removed. Also, that he has no restriction.
I have a great love for your children, especially Dominic. He is such a blessing to me. Whenever I feel sad all I do is look at these kids. They are like a fresh breath of air & sunshine. And, your dogs? Beautiful!! God is so good.
I enjoy keeping updated & I continue my Prayers for you & your family.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

So happy for Dominic! Hope he has a wonderful spring and summer getting back into all those things he missed out on doing because of his line. A time for celebration!
I personally love flannelette pyjamas with the buttons down the front. Someone mentioned PJ Salvage which I recently became aware of in Canada. Gorgeous stuff but a bit expensive and probably worth it. Time will tell.
So cute of Isabelle to save her bacon and eat it later on. No wasting food there. You’ve taught her well. Although maybe one of the dogs would have received it if she hadn’t saved it for herself.
Just finished watching Expats which I enjoyed. Now looking for something good. Maybe season 2 of True Detective.
My son had strep throat again and again until a follow-up swab test came back positive and he went back to the antibiotic for 2 more weeks. The infections stopped and he never had another. Good luck to Joseph.
Congratulations to Dominic! He has been through so much and yet he’s kept this adorable smile. I bet he will have a growth spurt now and surprise everybody at how big he’ll get.
Wishing happiness and good health to you all.
Blessings to you and your wonderful family. I continue to keep Dominic in my prayers. You have had some rough times Michelle, you are a great mom. Hope Joseph gets well soon.
I am so happy for Dominic!!!!!!❤🙏 Hope Joseph is feeling better soon! Isabelle is growing up so fast. Have you tried Macy’s for light PJ’s?
