The Saturday Six

One.

For those of you who are not the photo addicts that I am, this week's simplify and organize challenge will hopefully hit you with something you DO have. A bathroom cabinet! Last week when the plumbers came to work on our backed up pipes, they had to unload everything from the cabinet under the sink into a laundry basket so they could work. So.........

I'm inspired to challenge you to gather the fam and clean out the bathroom cabinets this week. Under the sink and in the medicine cabinet. Do you have expired meds? Dispose of them {safely and properly is best! Here's a link with info on that.} Expired beauty products? Out. And make a list of what you might need to buy to replace. Stuff you haven't used in over six months? Out. A billion duplicates? Out. Weed out and sanitize and replace what you need to replace! If your kids have their own bathrooms, have them do this too. Clean bathroom cabinets all around!

Lynne gifted me with this nifty little thing {cat not included}! It's called a Frost Guard, and you hook it over the mirrors on your car so it keeps snow and ice from sticking to the windshield if you park outside. Even if you have a garage at home, you probably run into some snow and ice while at work - or church - or grocery shopping - so in the dead of winter, this can save you some scraping woes! Only caution is to be careful if it gets covered with ice...don't let the elastic snap and break!

Anyone else out there a vow renewal ceremony junkie? I know. I know. I've only been married 2 years and now I'm all thinking about vow renewals? I just think they're a lovely way to bring you back to the promises you made! I adore these pics from KariAnne Wood's vow renewal ceremony that she posted. ADORE.

An inventor I am not...but I'm excited to know someone who DOES have that gift! {And he was in my class in high school. AND he sat behind me in study hall and autographed all the newspaper clippings of his basketball games just in case he ever got famous. So looks like I could be cashing in on that soon!!} Anyway, his name is Zac, and he's doing a KickStarter for this cool toy he designed. He's already raised the majority of what he needs but is trying to get over the last hurdle for it! And as a big-kid-at-heart, I think it's probably as much fun for adults to play with as kids! {Watch the second video...see what I mean!}

Earlier this week, a friend of mine emailed to ask for any tips I had to offer for cruising. She and her husband are about to take an anniversary trip, and it'll be her first time. I sent her a much longer email than I'm sure she was anticipating receiving...but I also remembered I'd written this post after our cruise a couple of summers ago, with my best tips for newbies! In case any of you are planning summer vacations, here are the Shafferland suggestions. This is also just a funny read because Ryan co-wrote it. He always makes me giggle.

You guys know how much I love the Dashing Dish website and how Katie Farrell's recipes are so amazing to me, because they actually taste like real food that I enjoy eating - except they're healthy! First time I've ever encountered that! So this week she put together this post that links you to her top 25 pinned recipes. If you're overwhelmed by the number of recipes on the site, this might be a great place to start!
