Happy Friday, y'all! Is anyone else in an absolute state of shock that it is already March? 2023 is flying by. Aside from being a week behind on my Bible Recap readings, I had a great week. Here's a look at some faves.
ONE
When we were visiting the Ponce City Market, Michael and I saw this interesting display in a paper goods store. We loved seeing all the old school supplies and thermoses. I also enjoyed browsing around Anthropologie...I think I could take home every item in the store!
TWO
Spring has sprung here in Texas. It has felt downright hot the last few days, with temperatures near 90! I am going to spruce up our outdoor space by focusing on the flower beds and pots. I bought all this and then went back for more. We are getting some mulch next week and then I'll take some pictures. I'm so excited about adding some color to the yard.
THREE
Grace does not have a ceiling fan in her room, and uses a small fan on her nightstand to keep things cooled down. She said it is life changing, so I decided I need one too. I picked up the same model from Walmart that both kids have for their dorm rooms. I love the blue color and the increased air circulation at night. Yes, we have a ceiling fan but you know I need all the cool air I can get!
FOUR
I am not a strict follower of Lenten practices, but I like to give something up, usually some kind of social media. This year I took all social media apps off of my phone and iPad. I am still allowing myself to see it on the desktop computer, but this stops my mindless scrolling. It is giving me more minutes in the day for other things.
FIVE
Did you hear that Joanna Gaines has a new cookbook coming out in May? I love her first two cookbooks, so plan to buy this one as well.
SIX
Reading: I just finished this WWII book and loved it. It tells the story of a Chinese diplomat in Vienna who works to get visas for Jewish people, when many other countries do not. It was an interesting perspective, and I learned a lot. By the way, I picked up this Kindle book from the Amazon First Reads program. Have you checked out the choices for March? I picked this historical fiction book...what will you pick for your free Kindle book?
Watching: We are wrapping up PokerFace on Peacock, and plan to start watching The Company You Keep on ABC and Your Honor Season 2 on Showtime.
REMEMBERING WHEN...
we went to the Paradise Wildlife Park north of London in 2013. It was chilly, but so much fun!

It is crazy that such warm weather is here, which seems a lot earlier than normal. I may work outside cleaning up our yard this weekend when the temperatures will be mild and sunny. I usually wait until after Easter do do any new planting, but we definitely have bulbs in bloom! We finally finished 1923 last night and I want to start Poker Face. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely warmer earlier, although now we have another cool front coming in!
DeleteI started watching Poker Face - such an interesting show!
ReplyDeleteOh friend, I hear you about the temps. 87 degrees here yesterday. I believe we have bypassed Spring and I am not happy!
ReplyDeleteTaking all SM off my phone is something I need to consider doing - it would be great for my mental health!
Have a great weekend!
xo,

And now we have another cool front this weekend, and one coming next weekend too. Crazy weather!
DeleteWe are expecting 6 inches of snow here today with a high of 30, lol. I’m so jealous of your flower planting. We can’t do that here for another two months and I am so anxious to get into the greenhouses. You are so smart for getting rid of that social media! I really should do it it really hurts my head especially Instagram! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some good weather for your trip! :)
DeleteIt's still cold here in NJ...enjoy your warm temps! I love the pics of the kids when they were little. Time sure does fly!

Oh, that warm weather would feel so good! We never made it to Ponce City Market when we were in Atlanta last summer. I love old school supplies!! Have a great weekend with some good cool sleeping! - Sarah @Sunshine & Books
ReplyDeleteI picked that same book from Kindle First this month!... now I just have to make sure I get around to reading it soon. I am so bad at just downloading the books and then letting them sit there...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the weather to warm up here! I have to take advantage of the Kindle First program, but I rarely read on my kindle. Hope you had a great weekend!
