The Saturday Six

One.

Anyone else need a laugh this weekend? Maybe it's been a tough week? This video is a year old, but I never saw it last year and it absolutely CRACKS ME UP!!!! Not much cuter than a little kids' Christmas program with some Nativity drama.

Two.

You know how there are a million holidays/observances/etc. for people to celebrate? I found this blog that has an entire list for January - and then you can follow right on into all the other months of the year. So Shafferland is about to get REAL interesting. 2019 is the Year of the Periodic Table of the Elements, and January is National Prune Breakfast Month. Oh yes, my friend.

Three.

I know Christmas is in three days, so if you don't have décor up, it may not happen at this point. But if you need just an extra little oomph of something for your family or friend gathering, here is a site with a handful of fun ideas. I've seen some of them before, but some were new to me. Or at least I think they're new! (Sometimes I see so many ideas I'm sure I don't remember.)

Four.

This article came from one of our local newspapers. Unless you live around here, you probably don't know about this accident that happened earlier this year, but I believe the story is powerful even if you don't know the people involved. I remember reading about this...it was one of a handful of horrible accidents that happened in our county in a very short amount of time. But the words of the story are also a good reminder that we never know what an impact we'll have on someone - even years later.

Five.

Those of you from this part of Indiana might be familiar with MudLOVE. I first learned about them when I started working at WBCL. Lynne and Jamie gave me one of their mugs, and I've also collected a handful of their bracelets over the years. I love their products and their mission. Somehow I missed one of their newest products, but I think it's pretty cool, so I wanted to tell you about it! If you're looking for gifts for into next year or a fun project for a girls' night out, here is the info about their new Makers kits. Watch the video to see the story behind it and check out all the info. Pretty cool!

Six.

I've seen these "save $1000 over the course of a year" things before, but they always look daunting to me. Especially the ones that increase per week as you go along. Ummmm, I'm not rich! I stumbled on this chart this week and it looked doable! There are amounts all over the board from $3 to $60, and most are in the middle of that. (There's even a zero for the week when you just cannot.) It's kind of like Bingo...you don't have to go in any order. Just pick what you can afford that week, stash it away, and cross it off. At the end of the year, enjoy your $1000 savings!
