Friday Favourite Moments 2025 #11

Today is the last week day of our March Break and while it didn't look like we had originally thought it would, it's actually been a fairly fun break. I wrote last week that we'd had a March Break change of plans from going to Hawaii to staying here, due to some health issues my mom is experiencing. Thank you everyone for your prayers as we continue to await results from her latest test. We have some March Break fun still ahead over the next few days but here are my favourite moments from the past week. Also these are chronological, not necessarily in order of most to least favourite :)

1) Introducing Rachel to Gilmore Girls

I decided to start watching Gilmore Girls with Rachel this break and we're well into Season 1. It's so fun to go back and watch the show with Rachel!

 

2) Alice in Bloomland and a tea time at the botanical gardens

I wrote about this yesterday but I think one of my favourite days this week was the day we explored Alice in Bloomland at the botanical gardens. I was also unexpectedly entranced by the orchids. And the tea time was so good!!!

3) Rachel got her Grade 8 grad outfit

 

We went shopping in Toronto on Wednesday, among other things, and Rachel got her grad outfit, including shoes. She is super excited about it and I was excited that it wasn't too expensive and I agreed with her choices! Win-win!!!

 

4) Toronto experiences

Among the things we did in Toronto were go to see Come From Away (which was just as good the second time around) which both kids really liked and we went to the Hockey Hall of Fame. We got to see the Four Nations Cup there, as well as the Stanley Cup, and we got to try being play by play announcers.

 

5) Seeing Sarah of Toronto SAM

 

When I posted a picture on Instagram saying "Good morning Toronto!" Sarah messaged me and it turns out she was nearby. She dropped in for a very quick hello (and a hug!) and it was so good to see her. Next time we'll have to make an actual plan ahead of time to meet up, Sarah!!! Find Sarah's blog here.

 

6) New bedding and open windows

 

When we were at the botanical gardens, it turns out we were also near IKEA so we stopped by. I am addicted to IKEA bedding and this set looks like spring to me. I was so happy to make our bed with it yesterday and to be able to open a window in our bedroom. Spring is on the way and I couldn't be happier about it.

So those were my favourite moments from this past week. I'm looking forward to another three days of fun and spending time with friends. Until then, happy Friday and I hope it's spring-like where you are!
