One.
I told you a while back that Ryan bought me a light for Christmas...so I can do my own gel nails at home. A couple of weeks ago, we went to the beauty supply store to buy a new color of gel polish and the store didn't carry CND, which was the only brand I'd ever used. I ended up getting a bottle of Gelish polish instead - a deep, beautiful red - and it has held up BEAUTIFULLY!! I'm sold on the brand!

On our Spots and Spotlights show this week, Lynne interviewed Mark Hirsch, who published a book called That Tree. Every day for one year, he took a picture of the same tree...with his iPhone. Amazing to see all the angles and perspectives he found. Really cool project. Kind of makes me want to try. :) With another object, of course.
Three.
LOVE this post by Shauna Niequist. Makes me want to take Ryan to my old church...the one where I grew up...and introduce him to her...and tell him every memory in every corner. {And fair warning; I might take you there too...blog post already swirling in my head.}
Four.
You might have seen this one circulating Facebook - the top 10 most affordable cities {in the whole country!!} to live. Number one? Kokomo. That's where Ryan works! I read through it {you know - in case I ever need to affordably move} and have to say that Mansfield and Lima are pretty great too - I've been to both those cities!
Five.
OH. THE. CUTENESS. Natasha's blog this week talked about the "CANstruction" project for the food bank. Look at all the different structures made from cans and boxes of food!
Six.
Had the privilege of interviewing Mandy from Biblical Homemaking this week. I kind of imagine in my mind that because we talked on the air for 10 minutes that we're somehow great friends in the making. But anyway - we talked about thrifting. NO ONE I know is as amazing at it as Mandy...check out her tips for thrifting well!

FYI: Canstruction is going on this weekend in Ft. Wayne at the Glenbrook Mall! Bring a food item to use as a vote for your favorite!
I cannot believe something I wrote about made The Saturday Six. I have cold chills and I promise it's not just because I am sick :)
Tracy - We have it here too??I didn't even know! How cool!!
Natasha - GET WELL!!! I loved your post!
I love Mandy's blog and subscribe to her e-mails. Sad I missed the show, but I will need to catch up for sure! :)
Speaking of gelish polish ... I was wondering if you'd mind sharing what type of gel light Ryan got you for Christmas and if you like it ... pros/cons etc. ... Considering purchasing one.
Mansfield is [sort of] my hometown! I grew up in the next little berg over from Mansfield, but it's where we did all our shopping.
I was super happy to see it listed, as it is a nice place.
Elisa - Isn't she the sweetest? I wish she lived next door. :)
Tina - sure thing! Mine is (I think...I'll check when I get home) a Royal light. He did a ton of research online to get the best light for the buck, so I'm sure it's a good deal! So far it's worked great for me. Unlike the one my salon lady used, this one is big enough for two hands at once, so in theory it can make the process go faster. It has a bunch of timer options - four or five preset times - and it's worked great. Has definitely made doing my nails much more fun!
Kristin - I have only been there once but thought it was so darling! Amy Warner got married there, and I was in her wedding, so I was there for a weekend for that!
Thank you Bekah! I'll check it out.
