Today, the sunshine and warm California air has me dreaming of spring-time.  So, that is the inspiration for today’s Friday Favorites post.

From Easter Cards to Communion Invitations and Thank You Notes, below are just a few of our favorite Tiny Prints designs:

A close friend of mine is coming up on the five year anniversary of her wedding, and each day that brings her nearer to that point brings growing speculation about when she will get pregnant.

Her family members want little babies running around, and they aren’t afraid to let her know.

There have even been rumors so far-reaching that they required public proclamations to the contrary on her Facebook page!

Have you ever experienced this kind of pregnancy peer pressure? How did you handle it? Do you think it comes out of a loving desire to expand your family, or does it make you uncomfortable? Did it stop after your first child? You tell us!

When a good friend of mine recently received a slow cooker as a gift, I was overjoyed. I have never owned a slow cooker, so I had visions of helping her to create all of these glorious recipes that I hadn’t ever dreamed of before.

Then I started to flip through slow cooker cookbooks, and found myself less than thrilled with my options. I love soup, chili and stew just as much as the next girl, but are there any other recipes out there for slow cookers that seem a little bit more exciting?

The most interesting sites I’ve found thus far include Slow-Cooker Solutions from Parents.com, SlowAndSimple.com and the Crock-Pot site. Do you have any others to add to the list?
