Friday Favorites - March Edition

March 5, 2021

Hello blog friends and happy March! 

I have my Friday Favorites - March Edition:


1.  Exercise
I've been doing some yoga on YouTube, Yoga with Adriene.  These yoga lessons are great because you can do them whenever you like.  Adriene has so many different levels of yoga lessons available.  Have you tried any of these yoga videos yet?      

I love using my new Lululemon reversible yoga mat that I received this past Christmas.  

When I saw this photo on Instagram,  I thought this puppy looked adorable and ready to do yoga.  Maybe downward dog pose?

2.  College Drop Off and Shopping
We dropped off my daughter at college back in January.  We decided to go shopping at the mall and stop for lunch afterward. 
We were able to shop without any large crowds of people in the mall.  We've never heard of the store Boscov's but my husband bought some Ralph Lauren shirts on sale.   I was happy to buy new Ray-Ban sunglasses. 

In Rhode Island, they have dine-in at restaurants so we had lunch at Panera Bread.  We felt safe as the tables were spaced apart and there weren't too many people eating lunch.  We both shared a salad and sandwich and then it was back on the road to go home.  
3.  Eating
My daughter bought this mini Dash egg-making machine at Target.  We tested out the machine before my daughter went back to college. The egg machine went back with her and makes the cutest egg bites. 

My daughter's roommate brought this mini waffle maker to college too.  Now they can all enjoy homemade mini waffles and eggs.

I've been making turkey grilled cheese sandwiches lately.  I usually make a whole sandwich and split it in half with my husband for lunch.

We were surprised in the mail with a big box of Girl Scout cookies my daughter sent us.  We love these cookies but I'm splitting the box with her as we are trying to be good about eating sweets. 
4.  Creative
I was recently requested to make a crocheted baby Yoda for my Zumba teacher.  I found this pattern to make baby Yoda.  
My daughter is showing off a new fleece Appa hat her friend gave her.  I think my daughter looks adorable and the hat matches the crochet Appa I made her.  I'm working on making another Appa for my daughter's friend.   

I used to do calligraphy many years ago.  I was inspired to try it again after seeing the book and pens on Tanya's blog, The Other Side of the Road.  I'm a little rusty doing the letters but I'm having fun.
5.  Watching
In keeping up with watching the Marvel movies, we saw Iron Man 2, Thor, the Avengers, Iron Man 3, and Thor-The Dark World.  We both like watching Marvel movies on the weekends.
Thor
The Avengers
Iron Man 3
Thor - The Dark World

6.  Snow
We had 17 inches of snow at the end of January that lasted for three days.  We cleaned everything up and then had another five inches of snowfall a few days later.  We had another snowstorm in the middle of February.  We've had snowstorms on and off for most of February.  This is a photo of Bosco on our front steps watching his Dad clean up the snow.  I hope we won't have anymore snowstorms for the month of March.  I can't wait for winter to be over and I wish it were April already!


Have a happy Friday and weekend.

  1. I agree, I'm so over all of the snow! Bosco looks so cute watching his dad clean it up. We have Boscovs here! My daughter has that mini waffle maker and I've seen the egg one as well. That grilled cheese looks good. I've done some of those videos but I also have a subscription to the Yoga Collective and do their classes. I like The Journey Junkie as well. Your daughter does look so cute!

  2. Yay for yoga! Sometimes I will do a yoga, or rather PIYO workout video, but it’s not my favorite thing to do. Probably because I have zero balance! That reversible mat is super cool, Lululemon has such great products! That dog photo is so cute! Yay for getting to shop with your daughter! I bet y’all miss her a lot already! What yummy food from that restaurant! I have never seen that Dash egg maker, but it seems super helpful!! I love my Dash mini waffle maker!! I love grilled cheese with ham or turkey! Girl scout cookies are awesome! Oh my goodness!! The baby yoda you crocheted is adorable!! I wish I could crochet, you must be very talented to do it! I love your daughter’s hat and Appa! I love doing calligraphy, it is such a fun way to rewind form the day! That is awesome that you have been watching the Marvel movies! I recently watched all of them in January! I love Iron Man 3 as well! Also, do you watch WandaVision? I think you would like it as a Marvel fan! Happy weekend!

  4. You have been busy, Julie! That lunch looks delicious and I'm sure both students are going to enjoy their meals with those handy appliances. Your daughter looks adorable in her new hat with her Appa companion by her. I wish I could experience snow at least once, so envious of Bosco right now. ;-)
    Happy weekend!

  7. Hi Julie, lots of fun Fridays here! Love the egg machine and your little crochet Yoda! Your daughter is a cutie - she must be so excited to be back at college. I'm sure you must miss each other, though. Bosco is so adorable and love how he is staying out of the snow! It's been a long winter....I need to do a little yoga. Too much baking this winter! Take care - hugs xo K
