Friday Favorites

When I began my blog a little over six years ago I did a “Favorite" Friday’s” series highlighting things from the past week or the upcoming weekend that I was excited about. After taking a little hiatus from it I decided I wanted to bring it back, this time though I really want YOU to share as little or as many positive things that happened to you from the past week. In a world where we focus so much on the negative I want to focus on the positive, no matter how big or small they may seem. I want to hear what’s making you feel good. xo

Celebrating Dyngus Day with a great group of friends and family. Also this year I was a judge for the Buffalo’s Best Kielbasa Contest - a great experience to be a part of in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood that I grew up in as a child.

I ran into my friend Kate from Love in Motion Yoga at RevRide on Tuesday morning. Kate is someone who always brings those feel good vibes and is just a good human. We caught up for a quick minute and it was just a great way to start my day (so was that RevRide ;) ). Also, these photos are from LIM’s Insta - want one of those hat’s Kate is rocking?!? Deadline to pre-order your’s is today, email info@loveinmotion.yoga for details on how to purchase.

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to attend a Buffalo Blogger’s meetup so I was happy to be able to participate in Tuesday’s meetup. Held at the WNY Books Arts Center myself and fellow bloggers were able to learn more about the organization, shop around and have our try at letterpress. It was a really cool meetup and I can’t wait to go back on my own time. They are a resource for a variety of printing and book-related arts needs . Nicole Cooke and Melissa Rechin thank you for hosting!

I had the chance to meet up with my friend Nicole at a new restaurant (well new to the both of us, because we hadn’t been before Wednesday), The Black Sheep on Connecticut Street. Catching up on life with some wine and a charcuterie board isn’t a bad thing ;)

Yesterday was so nice out, my friend Jen and her daughter Aila invited me to ice cream at Pautler’s in East Amherst. I’ve driven past multiple times but never stopped until yesterday. It was a nice way to break up an hour of my day, enjoying company and a simple ice cream cone. (photo is from Pautler’s website).

Kicking off this Saturday for a limited time, Curious George at the Buffalo Museum of Science. The exhibits portray buildings and locales from the book - Let's Get Curious. Definitely something I'd like to take my niece to.

A new restaurant {to me} on Connecticut Street that makes me want to check it out - The Black Sheep

LP Ciminelli is celebrating Black History Month with a Black Tie event on February 27, 2015 at the Tralf. For tickets and more information click here.
