Friday Favorites

I thought it was HIGH TIME for a current favorite list.   Here are a few things I am LOVING right now.


1. Downton Abbey

You may have seen me tweet/facebook about this, and i even included it in my Project Life-- Downton Abbey.  Apparently, season two recently ended a few weeks ago on PBS.   But we never really watched it on TV.  Just last week we started watching the DVDs and we were HOOKED.  Todd and I watched both Season 1 and 2 in a week's time--- that's SIXTEEN hours of TV, people.   And we never really watch TV so that is substantial for us.   It's written so well-- so many stories, secrets, and humorous moments.  I highly recommend it!


2. Find My Friends App

So I just found our about this app last week.  Basically you become "friends" with people on this app (on iPad or iPhone) and it pulls up a map and shows you where your friends are at any given time (based on where their phone is).   Now, i really wouldn't do this with a bunch of my friends but it's been great for our family members.   Todd and I are "friends" on the app, and the kids LOVE watching him drive to work and drive home.  They really think it's hilarious when they see him pull up to the house and then hear the garage door open.  They also like seeing where other family members are during the day.

I think it is a great way for the kids to have a "real life" experience with maps and learning directions, especially as they get older.   And i think it's a great tool for parents to have with older children so they can locate them based on where their phone is (sneaky:).

3.  Elle's Studio!


Yes I know it's no secret I love Elle's Studio, but I wanted to share that this month is their FIFTH birthday!!!  Lots of AWESOME specials going on every Saturday in March so be sure to check their blog for all the fun!

Elle also added these new items to the shop in celebration of Elle's Studio's birthday.  I ADORE these new items.  ADORE.  The color combos just make me smile.  These will definitely be used in my Project Life soon!

Have a lovely Friday!!!
