Friday Favorites #1

[ssba]

Welcome to another fabulous Friday!  Today I’m going to be sharing some of my favorite things with you.  It’s a little bit of anything and everything… a lot like me!

Friday Favorites on Diary of a Recipe Collector

#1
Friday Favorites - Pantry Storage
This week has been a busy one around here as I attempt to move into my new pantry.  Well not literally “move in,” but I’ve been moving all the food in there.  It’s a slow process for me.  Doing anything that requires organization with kids is not easy.  I am extremely indecisive, and I really don’t want to have to redo it if I don’t like how I organized it.   So I am really trying to be practical.  Here’s what I’ve done so far, and I think I like it.  I’ll show you pictures of the whole room with more detail once I finish it.  The other side has cabinets, a desk, and a countertop.

Friday Favorites: Water-Hyacinth-Tray-The Container Store

These baskets were my favorite things to use in my pantry.  I found myself wishing I had bought more of them.  I found them here at The Container Store.

Friday Favorites: Erin Condren Planner

I am in love with my new Erin Condren Life Planner.  It took me a while to break down and get one just because I was pretty set in my ways with my old planner.  But then I couldn’t find my old planner anywhere, so I started looking at these Life Planners.  I chose the vertical layout and customized the front with fun family photos.  I really love it!  I have to write down EVERYTHING or it won’t get done.  Tell me I’m not alone!

#4
Friday Favorites: Downton Abbey

Ummm…I think Downton Abbey is my favorite show I’ve ever watched in my entire life!  I was a little late to the party considering it’s been on a long time, but trust me I caught up!  I heard so many good things about it.  I ordered the DVD set so I could pass it along to my mom and sister.  But you can watch it on Amazon.  In fact, I watched one episode on there first before ordering the DVD set to make sure I liked it.  It took me a few episodes to get accustomed to the heavy British accents, but now I can understand them just fine 🙂  When I hear the music, I could almost cry because I love the show so much!  I love shows based on history, and this era is so interesting.  I’m so glad I decided to sit down and watch it that day.  Right now Season 6 (the last one) is on Sunday nights.

#5
Friday Favorites: Colorado brochures

On Wednesday, we received some happy mail!  We are taking a big family road trip this summer, and my in-laws sent us some Colorado brochures.  They moved there about a year ago.  We can’t wait!  It’s 11 days, 2 adults, 4 kids, and 1 minivan!  Are we crazy?  I just know that I was so interested in seeing the whole country when I was a kid.  I definitely want my own children to be able to experience this!

Hope you guys have a fabulous Friday!  See you tomorrow with the Weekly Family Meal Plan!

Being able to share the things I make with others is so much fun for me. I have gotten so many cookbooks and torn so many recipes out of magazines! This is my way to really make use of them. I am starting this blog as a way to chronicle the recipes I’ve tried and pass them along. I hope everyone enjoys!!!
