Hello friends. Yay, it's Friday and the end of the week.
I'm so happy that it's the start of Spring. 🌹
Here are some of my favorite things I'm sharing with you this week.
1) Three Things Writing Series April Reminder
 |
Laura from the blog The Horton Family has a fun writing series that she hosts the second Monday of the month. I have participated in this the last two times and it's such a fun way to write about the prompts she gives us each month. Here is the writing prompt for April 8th. I hope you all will join in too. There is no link up but you can just post it on your blog Monday, April 8th.
2) Matcha Green Tea Protein Drink
 |
My husband has been making protein shakes for part of our breakfast. Whenever he makes one he will give me a glass of this protein drink too. It's a healthy drink because he adds fruit, protein powder, Matcha green tea powder, almond milk, and ice cubes.
3) The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
 |
I am reading this book right now and loving it. I was gifted this book for Christmas by my daughter.
Here is how Amazon describes the book:
Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love--and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.
The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the ruthless machinations of fate.
I'm in the middle of the book now and I can't put it down as I love reading it. There are 771 pages in the book but don't let that scare you as it's a fast read.
I hope you'll put this one on your reading book list.

4) Noosa Yogurt
 |
My husband and I are loving this yogurt right now. I never had this before and I decided to try it out when I saw it in the supermarket. The yogurt container is small and it has fruit on the bottom and creamy yogurt on the top. I sometimes add granola on top of the yogurt and that tastes really yummy! We usually have one of these for our dessert after dinner or a snack in the evening.
5) Spring Shopping
I have started my spring shopping this week. I bought these cute Tommy Hilfiger flip flops, Tommy Hilfiger sunglasses, a floral sunglass case, sandals, and new sneakers.
Have you bought anything new for spring yet and what did you buy?
6) My fur baby Bosco
 |
My rescue dog Bosco is such a cute and loving dog. He hates it when I want to take his photo and he usually looks away, but this time I was lucky to capture this shot of him. I can't believe that Bosco will be 12 years old in the fall.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and weekend. :)
