Happy Friday! We spent another week in the midwest managing through snow and cold weather. Hurry up spring! As usual, I am sharing my favorites of the week and I am linking up with Erika, Narci and Andrea for Friday Favorites.
New Letterboard
My favorite find of the week was this letterboard on clearance at Target for $10! These boards are all over Instagram and I’ve always thought there were so cute and catchy! I shared my first board display over on Instagram and Facebook on Monday. It’s hard to have the same excitement for Monday that we do with Friday!
Another Letter board version here!
Between, my favorite Lightbox ,this Letterboard and my kitchen chalkboard, our house is never a shortage for words!! I’ll admit that the Letterbox takes a little more creativity and time than my Lightbox requires! Ha ha!
I updated my Letterboard with of the many awesome quotes from 365 Days of Wonder! This is a companion book to Wonder that is packed with over 365 inspirational messages! When my daughter took out this book out from the library, I found myself writing down so many of the quotes.
Day in the Life
This week I decided on a whim to write A Day in the Life post. It was total coincidence that it has been exactly six months since I published my first Day in the Life post!
While the day I shared was not particularly eventful, it was a pretty accurate picture of one of our more typical days.
I always love reading these day in the life posts from other bloggers. I’m planning to write another one of these posts in the summer which is a season when our days are always unpredictable and different!
Latest Trendsend Order
Last week I received some happy mail in the form of my latest Trendsend subscription box! On Monday, I shared all the details on what I received in the box and what I decided to keep. This subscription box is perfect for me because I rarely get out to the stores to do my own clothing shopping! It is always a fun surprise to see what’s inside my order.
Based on comments on this post, I made the right decisions on what I kept and returned. Thanks for your feedback:)
Pinterest Updates
Has anyone else been a Pinterest fan for years but hasn’t been loving what shows up in their feed lately?? I was so excited to see changes that were made to Pinterest this week! Perhaps you’ve come to realize that your Pinterest feed is no longer what your friends have pinned but instead what Pinterest thinks you will like! This has resulted in my feed being filled with uninspiring posts!
But Pinterest must have wised up because now, as of this week, you have the option to see what your friends are actually pinning. Yippee! Just a little bit of news I wanted to share with you!
You just have to select the “following” icon in your feed! Here’s a link to my account if you aren’t already following my Coffee, Pancakes & Dreams Pinterest boards:)
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Finally, several months ago I shared an Etsy shop favorite, Door Before, which sells these adorable personalized mini home prints. Just this week, I found a frame and a permanent place for my sign to reside.
House Print | Mug Rack | Cake Stands |
These little prints would make adorable gifts for Mother’s Day or wedding anniversaries! You can specify if you want black and white or a little color in your print. I love all the little details that were included in our print especially our picket fence and our address numbers. It is such a sweet keepsake to have!

That about wraps up some of my favorites from this week! My husband and I have plans to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary (a little early!).
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
Haven’t heard of the Transcend box. I will have to check it out. I did Stitch Fix for a while but I think I finally broke up with them for Good this fall.
Have a Good weekend!

Again…that top on you is on point! I am so jealous-I want it! 🙂 Those recipes you pinned look delish especially that one plan garlic chicken- yum! Have a great weekend Jaclyn!
Thanks Holly! Hope you have a great weekend too!
Oooh I haven’t heard of Trasnscend! Happy anniversary! I want to get a little print of my house. That’s on my life of things to do when I am done with my no spend time. Enjoy your weekend!
Way to go on a no spend month!! Hope it’s going well!!
I totally love the Pinterest changes! Enjoy your time with your hubby. Happy anniversary!

Shannon-Sorry if I was confusing…now you SHOULD be able to see your friends’ pins!
I kind of need to figure out how to take photos for a day in the life post. I haven’t done that yet! Great find on the letter board!
Dara-It’s so fun (although a bit of work) to keep track of your day in pictures and words. But I totally recommend trying it once!!
