Viewing friday finds

Wow. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been writing this Friday Finds feature for a year now. I feel like it just started a few months ago. It’s been fun for me to share creative things with you that I find on the internet. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I do….

June is here and that’s a good thing. It means morning coffee by the pond and dinner outside as often as possible. Going for walks and enjoying nature are the icing on the cake during this beautiful time of year. I wish I could freeze time during the month of June. June is also a…

In my neck of the woods, Memorial Day weekend signals the beginning of summer even though the season doesn’t officially begin until June 21st. As an elementary-aged kid, no one took schoolwork seriously after the holiday. Teachers instinctively knew our brains were in summer mode and doled out fun and easy projects. Memorial Day weather…

I’ve been a bad girl. I missed the past two weeks of Friday Finds! Other things have been distracting me but I’m back in the saddle this week with a round-up of new inspiration for you. Thank goodness this world is filled with so much inspiration and creativity to share! How wonderful was the announcement…

Today’s collection of Friday Finds is all about my daughter’s favorite color. Pink also happened to be my mother’s favorite color, too. Even if you’re not a fan of pink, I think you’ll enjoy seeing today’s finds! Here’s this week’s Friday Finds: Let’s start with something fun – a renovated kitchen with pink (yes pink)…

We all need a little adventure in life. Whether it’s a road trip, a tropical vacation, a hike in the woods, or simply learning about someone else’s adventure in a book or a movie. I’m a firm believer that exploring beyond your immediate world is good for the soul. You can physically do it –…

Who’s itching to get out in the garden and start planting flowers? I know I am, and I bet you are, too! Do you feel like your soul starts singing this time of year as the earth comes back to life? Maybe not, if you live in Florida or somewhere south. But for us northerners…

Welcome to another edition of Friday Finds, where I share inspiring and beautiful things I’ve found over the week. Hopefully all of you are happily preparing for Easter – whether it’s time spent with your family, talking a walk outside, or being reflective over what the holiday means to you. Our weather forecast is showing…

Do you ever do anything on a whim? I’m sure we all do. For some odd reason that I can’t explain, I’ve been following my whims quite a bit these days. Maybe the fatigue of the pandemic is making me a little loopy and causing me to act more on impulse. Or maybe acting on…

Do you realize there’s just two weeks and four days before Easter arrives? Last year this time we were in the midst of the pandemic. No Easter Sunday with the family. No attending church in person. No toilet paper in the stores. LOL. (This post contains affiliate links.) This Easter, it feels like we’re starting…

Happy Friday, friends! It’s been a good week here in little old Elburn. The sun is shining, the weather is warmer, and I saw the first robin of the season yesterday! He was hopping his way across the street toward our house. I always get excited upon seeing the first robin and it usually happens…

Hello friends! It’s time for another installment of Friday Finds and sharing interesting and inspiring things I’ve stumbled across this week. One thing I’m enjoying this week is the increased number of spring flowers that are available at the grocery store. I picked up a hyacinth this week because I love their fragrance. I always…

February is on its way out as March comes in like a lamb. At least, that’s what the weatherman is predicting. A mild start to the month which hopefully means March doesn’t go out like a lion. Do you remember that old wives’ tale? So – I did something unexpected this week. I joined Noom!…

Did you know that the month of February was added to the calendar in 700 B.C.? The name of the month is derived from the Latin “februo” which means “purification rites.” Thousands of years ago people performed purification rituals during the Roman festival “Lupercalia” during this month, earning it the name “februarius.” February was added…

Hello friends! I hope you’re all doing well while we wait out winter. Our temps are staying in the teens with more snow on the way. I have to confess, it does look pretty outside and I’m finding ways to enjoy being indoors until the wind chill calms down. (This post contains affiliate links.) Eating…

I’m not just talking about real flowers that you grow in your garden or arrange in a table top bouquet. I’m talking any kind of flowers you might find when decorating a home. Whether it’s loud and proud wallpaper, or a simple primrose in the windowsill, today is all about flowers. Winter is really gnawing…
