I ♥ Fridays!

The August Break

I participated in this two years ago. The experience was invigorating. I'll be posting August Break photos right here this year. 

Here's the scoop if you want to play:

"How it works: you simply share one photo (or more!) each day on your blog – Monday to Friday, or every day. Or whenever you feel moved to share. Using any camera – DSLR, compact, Polaroid, Holga, iPhone (my choice), Instax, film or digital – with or without words – anything goes! – for the whole of August. No pressure – just looking at August through your camera lens as a way to be more present this summer. And to have a little break from the pressures and expectations of regular blogging."

We recently fell in love with children's books by Jane Cabrera. The illustrations are adorable and the stories are a delight to share. Jane also generously created a few downloadable coloring pages. My girl is too cool for coloring right now so we traced them instead!

 

Doughnut Muffins

Looking for a simple, delicious recipe to make the weekend a little more sweet?

I dare you to try these amazing cinnamon sugar muffins. I came across the recipe over the winter and they have an amazing fresh from the bakery taste that has forced me (it's the only explanation) to make them multiple times since.
