Friday Favorites (6)

LET’S GET THE WEEKEND STARTED WITH A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS. HERE ARE MY FRIDAY FAVORITES.

You may remember that I started this series to feature a few of my favorite things from clothes, to paints, to food, and things to do with the kids. If you missed any you can see them here.

I know in these times, we’re all looking for a little sunshine. This month’s Friday Favorites is devoted to the simple pleasures of home. Early this week I shared 100 things to do when you’re stuck at home. You might want to check that out.

Favorite Past-time – Watercolor

Over the last week and a bit I’ve been leaning on creativity. It makes me feel happy to create things.

I find painting in watercolors so meditative. Lately, I’ve been focusing on things I love – like summer and the beach. The other day I painted my sunglasses and a bikini (I wish I could fit into).

I’m planning on using some of these into a Summer Favorites Print (similar to my winter favorites which you can see here).

I also am a lover of seashells. I love collecting them on the beach with the kids and I did a few pen and ink shells the other day and I’m looking forward to doing more and more of these.

If you’re wanting to learn watercolor, I’ve listed all the supplies I use here. Skillshare has wonderful classes and I’m so happy to be able to share this offer with you.

Favorite Recipe

I made this amazing one pot pasta bake last week and I think it’s gonna be a weekly occurrence in our home! You know how picky kids can be. The recipe is by Melissa Clarke and we have a few of her instant pot cookbooks which are fabulous.

Favorite Reads in Blogland

Lucy over at Craftberry Bush shared these beautiful hand-painted Easter Cookies:

Shauna over at Satori Design for Living shares how to make these beautiful flower pot cupcakes. Aren’t they cute?

Favorite Lunchtime with the Kids

At 1pm each day we tune into Lunchtime Doodles with Mo Willems. The boys have grown up with his books and he sparks creativity in all of us to get through the rest of the day. I think you’ll love watching him.

If you aren’t familiar with his books their fabulous, click here to see more.

We also really love Oliver Jeffers. Another author the boys have grown up with. We’ve been listen to Oliver read his books on his Instagram.

If you aren’t familiar with his work you can see his books here. LOVE them all!

Favorite Mini Series

We just finished Sanditon on PBS. It was an unfinished novel by Jane Austen, which they turned into a mini series. I wasn’t 100% happy with the ending but we really enjoyed watching it. I’m a huge Jane Austen fan.

We’re currently watching Howard’s End and it’s fabulous. This is also on PBS.

Favorite TV

We can’t stop watching The Stranger on Netflix. It’s so good we usually watch two episodes back to back. You can see the trailer here.

Favorite Film

Fridays are our movie and pizza night with the boys. Last week we watched Yesterday on HBO and it was so uplifting. You can see the trailer here.

Well, I think that’s it for this Friday. What are you guys currently loving?
