April Favorites
Well, I sure haven’t been the best about curbing my shopping this month but I also was able to stay on track with saving too, so April was a good month. After the first couple weeks at the end of March adapting to our new routines, we all settled into a school, play and eat routine.
State Park and Natures
Top of my list of favorites has to be the weather we have had and the opportunities for outdoor walks, picnic (only one so far) and blog picture in pretty locations. If you missed Wednesday’s blog with part 1 of a 3 part series featuring the beauty in nature we have seen, head on there to check out our pictures.
Magnolia Table Cookbook (and chocolate chip cookies recipe)
I order and received Joanna Gaines first cookbook this past week and promptly ordered the 2nd one which should arrive this Sunday. Last night, I made the chocolate chip cookie recipe and … they are delicious! I have gone through the whole book and marked with bright pink sticky notes which recipes I want to try. Next up, on Saturday is one of the quiches!
I do not have a lot of recipes books but I like recipes book with a story, pretty pictures and easy recipes.
Yummy!
Cell Phone Case
I have had my Samsung S8 phone for almost two years and the case I had had a screen cover which gave the impression that there was oil on the screen. I bought this case and I love it! It is Otterbox so I know my phone is safe in it and there is no screen cover which allows me to see the quality of my pictures. I feel like I have a new phone!
Another favorite has been blogging and keeping in touch through reading blog posts and commenting as well as through Instagram! Thanks, ladies!!
A bientôt!

These are great favorites! The nature picture is beautiful and loving the leaf cookie tray with those delicious cookies! I used to have an otterbox for my old phone and wish I had one for my new phone. We have otterboxes on all of our ipads.
Thanks for sharing!

The leaf was a wedding gift years ago! Makes for a pretty tray.

Such a pretty nature shot, Mireille! And the cookies look so tasty. I love the turquoise phone case. Turquoise is one of my favorite colors.

Oh wow I now want to eat home made cookies 🙂 but I don’t want to bake them 🙂

They were so easy because you make them in the kitchenaid!

The cookies look amazing. The cookbook is on my Mother’s Day list!

It’s a good one! I have gotten rid of cookbooks over the years because I really didn’t use the recipes in them but this one is a keeper! Recipes are easy too and so far all yummy! Made a quiche that was amazing!

That first pic is so pretty! I saw a snake on my walk the other day and it made me think of you and the snake you posted about the other day, haha!

I know, trying these desserts is going to have to make me increase how much I move!

I have that exact cell phone case and I love it! I have dropped my phone so many times and it has never broken (not yet anyway).
mimifce
Yes! I broke a phone once years ago and since then I buy cases that are strong!

Your nature walk picture is beautiful! Oh, yum! on the cookies. Is there anything the Gaines’ can’t do? LOL!
mimifce
I know! I was talking to my neighbors about how she cooks, she always looks stylish, her homestyle is wow… but I am sure a lot of stress comes with their busy life too!
Shauna
I just got that cookbook too! I’ve heard so many rave reviews about it. Can’t wait to start reading and cooking.

Thank you! The case has changed my life: I am hoping to hold off to get a new phone till next year unless the phone starts acting kooky!
