Friday Favorites

Favorite Show: Friends

I am so excited and I can’t wait for the Friends reunion. My favorite characters are Monica and Chandler. I always thought they were the best couple.

Favorite Book: Keep Calm and Bake Cupcakes

This is my favorite cookbook especially because the recipes make 9 to 12 cupcakes. It is great when you want to bake but don’t want too many extras.

Have a Good Weekend!

Friday Favorites: NYC, Central Park and More

I love living close to the city. I live Long Island about an hour away. It is great because I can go for a day anytime of the year. Last weekend my friends and I went to Central Park. This was my first time there. It is crazy because I have lived here my whole life but I haven’t done tourist stuff. One day I want to be a tourist of my own city. Anyway, we took the train to Penn Station and the 2 Subway to Columbus Circle.

Friday Favorite: Back to School

I don’t know about you but I love back to school because school supplies are on sale.

Ever since I was little girl I remember getting excited to go school after I got new supplies. I loved getting pens, pencils, crayons, coloring pencils, etc. These days back to school shopping consist of expensive textbooks and lab manuals. No matter how old I still get a thrill of back to school shopping.

I am very pick about what pens, pencils, binders and notebooks I use. Especially since I am a lefty, getting ink on my hand and smudging is the bane of my existence. My current favorite pen is Paper mate inkjoy for color pens and Pentel R.S.V.P. ballpoint pens for black ink. One of my teachers in middle school told me only write in black ink because it is professional. I haven’t taken notes or written essays in blue in since.

For pencils I like mechanical ones because you never need a sharpener.

I will post the photos later. Right now I am in a diner on the way up to Oneonta to drop my sister off. 

Have a amazing weekend!

Love,

Katie ❤

Friday Favorites: Weekend in D.C.

Happy Friday! I though I would expand the Friday Favorites to more topics then just baking. Last weekend my family and I went to D.C for vacation. We left Friday and took a walking tour of the National Mall, which was free. I found online a company call free tour by foot. It was a 2-hour tour with a tour guide. We lucked out because there were only 20 people in our group. The tour guide was awesome and knew a lot of the history behind the monuments. Here are some photos.
