watching: Big Little Lies. I recapped my recent favorite watches last week, but since then I've got a new obsession, as I thankfully remembered just in time that we have currently have a free trial of HBO. The cast is great, I love the scenery/homes (and don't mind how it was moved to Monterey, CA, rather than the book's original Australia setting), and it is super engrossing - even if I have already read the book and know the plot!
eating: fritattas. After remembering how easy of a dinner this is, and finding out that Hendrik will eat it with no complaints, I've been making one of these almost weekly. It's an awesome meal because besides the necessary eggs, pretty much anything else goes - if I don't have exactly what this yummy recipe calls for, I just use up whatever types of cheeses, veggies and bacon/proscuitto that we have around. Bonus is leftovers for breakfast!
saying: that I'm totally ready for spring (and its flowers). But I live in Michigan, so the weather's definitely going to have something different to say between now and, uh, May.
wearing: my leather moto jacket for date nights and girls weekends. I love the added cool factor that my outfits don't typically have - and now is a great time to look into these if you're in the market, or any other investment pieces you've been contemplating for your wardrobe, as Shopbop is having one of those buy more, save more sales through March 5th...
posting: more on Instagram than my usual (of late) 1-2 times per month, given all the excitement around here: many days of unseasonably warm weather, and some serious big boy moments (potty prize time!).
Now join co-host Carrie of A Stylish Fit and me to share what you're currently up to! Please remember to link up only related posts, link back to us in your post, and visit some others while you're at it.

I am in Michigan too! The crazy warm weather has got me skipping right past Spring and saying that I am ready for summer. It has been SO nice outside! Thanks for hosting the Currently link-up, I am really excited to join for the first time!
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that I don't have HBO and can't watch Big Little Lies! I read the book as well and enjoyed it and the show has a great cast! Maybe it will eventually make it to Amazon Prime or Netflix! I love frittatas as well. I agree they are so easy to make and so customizable. I love Instagram! It is by far my favorite social media!
ReplyDeleteI love fritattas but I forget to get them in my rotation. Thanks for the reminder! And yes to pretty flowers...so ready to see them this Spring.
ReplyDeleteYesssss frittatas!! I've only had them for brunch but that sounds great for dinner too!! Thanks for hosting the link-up each month, Anne! It's my absolute favorite :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't know you were in MI. That's where I am from, Redford. Living in Atlanta now but my fam is still there. I need to do a weekly fritatta... great idea for leftovers!
ReplyDeleteI haven't started Big Little Lies but I plan on it. I'm not sure if I should read the book first?
ReplyDeleteI love that Julie and I both go straight to frittata haha! #welovefood - but seriously, do you have a cast iron skillet recommendation!?
ReplyDeleteI still need some sort of moto jacket, I feel like it is a good transition piece from winter to spring!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Big Little Lies was a show! I wasn't a super huge fan of the book, but I think it might be a really interesting show. That frittata looks yummy! I love those.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what this Big Little Lies thing is BUT I loveeee Reese Witherspoon so I'll probably check it out at some point! :) also, YES to being so ready for Spring! Happy March!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see some green in April/May but likely few flowers until June here but I'm already looking forward to it so much!
ReplyDeleteI really want to watch Big Little Lies! I've got to catch up before I get too far behind!
ReplyDeleteI really need to borrow a friend's HBO password so I can watch Big Little Lies. It's been my favorite book of Moriarty's and I'm a bit fan of Reese Witherspoon so I feel like I will love it!
ReplyDeleteI made it for the link up ON the day it opens!!! <**** (Old fashioned version of the party horn emoji!)
ReplyDeleteI often watch shows for WHERE they take place too! I still haven't read that book yet...Should I?
Frittatas are AMAZING!!!! I've had some gooood breakfasts lately too (basically eggs every which way and toast).
Michigan has BRUTAL weather doesn't it??? It seems like the weather there is either brutally cold or super hot and humid. Hope spring surprises you!!!
You are SOOO stylish!!! I love that your outfits are cute and yet totally effortless looking.
Yay for more IG posts!!! I've been posting more too. I have no idea WHAT is inspiring me, but I'm not mad about it! :)
Thanks again for hosting this great link up!!!! Hope you're having a great week!
Oh I'm bummed I don't have HBO, that does sound like a fun show, since it was a fun read as well. I'm so impressed that Hendrik will eat a frittata. I can't even get my husband to eat one, let alone the kiddo. Sounds delicious to me though! And yay for more things to celebrate on IG, I always love seeing your posts :) Bring on the spring, I hope it comes your way soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm LOVING big little lies!! although i was so confused at first bc i thought it was set in new zealand. xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking about making a fritatta but still haven't actually DONE it! What in the world?!? I need to just make one already! Thanks for another fun month of Currently!
ReplyDeleteI've been watching BLL too and can't stop! I also read the book so it's fun to see how they remade it, included more of some characters and less of others. plus it looks beautiful out there!
ReplyDeleteI need to look into Big Little Lies- book and show. Which do you prefer so far?
ReplyDeleteI just checked out your instagram after you mentioned posting to it more, and I love it- especially the picture about public schools! I'm a teacher and obviously devastated about DeVos, but I'm glad I learned that you come from a family of teachers!! :)
I hope you have a wonderful March!
That moto jacket is fabulous! I love when Shopbop has sales :)
ReplyDeleteLove that jacket! It's definitely an added cool factor. I need to use Instagram more. I love it, but sometimes I just forget to upload the photos I want!
ReplyDelete-Lauren
I love this because I wore my faux leather jacket just the other day and was talking with co-workers about how it makes me feel just a little bit edgy even though my personality is far from it haha! And yes please for me as well to spring weather and flowers! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Instagram! The more you post the more you will love it, too! Thanks for sharing the frittata recipe! I have pinned it to make soon!
ReplyDeleteYum to that frittata! I love breakfast for dinners so we've been doing a lot of quiche lately- which cmon, isn't that essentially the same thing?! hehe ;)
ReplyDeleteI've only seen the first episode so far, but I already adore Big Little Lies, and I think the casting is perfect. I read the book but I have horrible memory so I don't remember "who dun it" which makes watching it that much better!
ReplyDeleteI recently made a bunch of handheld freezer frittatas- they're just so easy to grab and go!
I LOVE that jacket!! May have to go grab one for myself!
ReplyDeleteWe started Big Little Lies and then things went haywire but I did catch it was set in CA. Im excited to curl up and actually focus on watching it.
