March Favorites
I had a hard time coming up with favorites for March at first. It is not that my life is that much different now than before apart from being stuck at home a little more than before. I have been quite a homebody the past year or two unless we are on vacation but I had started to meet different friends once a week. I think it is more the uncertainty of when this will be over that gets to me. The children are doing well with their home schooling lessons and we really have enjoyed the outside time (minus the pollen) with walks and bike rides as well as meals outside. I am looking ahead at hopefully planning a trip this summer if this is over then and if not you can expect be to be somewhere fun next Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Back to favorites though!
Donut pan
With being home, I have spent more time in the kitchen baking some treats for the kids. It entertains me and their tummies enjoy them. After finding some recipes on Pinterest I found these donut pans on Amazon and ordered them.
The pans are really easy to wash and the donuts slide right out. The kids like the baked donuts I made but what they really enjoyed was the snacks I made with chocolate, rice krispies and peanut butter. The recipe I found on Pinterest is called 3 Ingredient Chocolate Crunch donuts.
Amazon graffiti pleated skirt
I bought a few skirts this month and after seeing Laura from I do deClaire wear her rainbow skirt in this post, I wanted to find one. She helped me find one on Amazon Prime and I love the happy colors. I am all about colorful outfits to brighten my days!
My back porch
With being stuck at home, the little things that I enjoy in my routine have become a little more important to my sanity. I have really enjoyed our back porch which I shared in a post last summer. A couple weeks ago, I added some string lights I had been meaning to hang for a while, and while I do need a few more strands those lights are really fun in the evening. In the morning, I enjoy my coffee there before the boys’ school work. The birds sing and I enjoy our wooded view. I end the day there quite often enjoying the calm.
I pray for all of those affected personally by the virus, those with sickness and those helping the sick. I am grateful for God’s mercies on our family and I pray that this will end soon.
A bientôt!

Love that pleated skirt! Need to get a donut pan. I had found recipes awhile ago I could eat but haven’t made them yet.

It is red but very faded so I guess it looks pink! The shade makes it really nice! Now to get hubby to build a pergola for the porch in full sun!

That rainbow skirt is still my absolute fave. It really brightens up all of the gloom and doom happening around us. Hope you are safe and find something to make you smile this weekend! XOXO

I have only worn it that one time but love the colors, just have to try a different combo: didn’t much like that pic of me: sometimes my son gets great shots and sometimes it just doesn’t work well. He took some awesome pics for my post tomorrow with my green skirt so I need to be thankful and grateful that he is such a good sport!

Your back porch looks so cozy and the perfect place to hang out! I might need to get that donut pan!
