The Saturday Six

One.

 One of the things my parents did very well when I was growing up involved teaching me about money. Spending, saving, tithing, budgeting, all of it. I appreciate that investment in my future, and I wish all parents were as conscientious about it as mine were. When I was in high school, I opted out of taking Algebra 2 for my final math (never could have passed it anyway) and took consumer math instead. That is the only math I have actually used in my life, and I've never regretted that decision. This article speaks to both things: what most kids don't learn about life-math in school and what things they do need to learn at home. If you have kids, I beg you to teach them about responsibility with money!

If you missed it, check out Tamar's pictures of sand sculptures. First of all, she's an amazing photographer, so the pictures on her blog every day are just stunning. But there's something extra awe-inspiring about sand sculptures. I've never seen any like these in person, but this post sure makes me want to go!

Ryan: relationship goals alert. You would absolutely do this for me. I know it. (Insert heart emojis here.) 

Four.

100% intrigued by this idea. Planning to put together my own version to spruce up my prayer life! 

Five.

As always, really beautiful words penned by Holley Gerth. Especially appropriate if you're feeling invisible right now....

I read this amazing book this week, and when I went to write my review, I realized I had a really really advanced copy of the book, and it doesn't actually release until October. That might be a jumping the gun just a bit, so I'll hang onto my review and instead show you this super cool paint chip calendar. I have no idea if this pre-made one from a few years ago is still being made in updated years, but it wouldn't be that hard to make your own...just sayin'!
