Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your weekend

Today is a very special day! It’s Christmas decorating day! I started with one tree last night and will continue today and knock out as much as I possibly can! I know it might be too early for some of you to think about decorating, but it’s one of my favorite days, so I’m super excited for it. While I’m decking the halls (and anything else I can find), enjoy some of these finds!

ONE.

As the memory-gatherer of my little family, I loved this piece detailing how a photographer captured candid shots of her parents waving goodbye to her when she would leave their home. The tradition continued for years and turned into something more meaningful than she ever could have imagined. While I love a good, purposeful photo session as much as the next person, it’s the candid moments caught on the fly that I truly love the most.

TWO.

Earlier this week I shared some of our favorite things we’ve purchased this year – and maybe they’ll make a good gift idea for you! I do love a good, thorough gift guide, and I found a couple on the Just Posted site this week. Here is the first one and then the second one. Even if not everything on her guide applies to you, it’s fun to browse, isn’t it?

THREE.

I loved this post on how to downsize your Christmas tree. Mom and Dad did this a few years ago in their house, and now that they are in a smaller apartment, that pre-downsizing will prove helpful! This post offers practical tips on figuring out what “downsizing” looks like for you and how to do it in a way that allows you to still enjoy having a tree at all!

FOUR.

I LOVE this little cottage-style kitchen makeover. I love every single thing about it. It’s cozy and bright and simple – LOVE!

FIVE.

I absolutely adore the Interleaved Bible I have used for the last three or so years. I’ve lived in it long enough that it feels like home and has tons of notes in it. If you feel overwhelmed by how to set up and live in a Bible, check out this half-hourish video that explains it beautifully. (I like this video especially because the lady is more interested in growing in her faith than having an aesthetically perfect Bible.) SO good.

SIX.

Here is an idea for a Thanksgiving tablescape – with chalkboard placemats! I love it that you can write what you’re thankful for directly on the placemat. Brilliant!
