The Saturday Six

One.

In this season of vacations, I wrote about some of my vacation memories! Annesley published my piece this week, so I'm sharing it here with you!

Two.

Who doesn't love a good before-and-after? Check out this classroom renovation done almost entirely with leftover paint from a decorator's personal stash! (Also: personally loving the additional way to serve on a mission trip: decorating!!)

Three.

Maybe you've seen this one circulating the social media world, but if not, it's pretty stinking fantastic. If I would have thought of this, I absolutely would have done this to hand in my notice!

Four.

I don't know that I've ever before seen a post on how to decorate and style a nightstand so that it's not only functional, but pretty! But this week I read one!

Five.

A couple of my friends shared this video, and I thought it was worth passing on to you! It's a valedictorian speech from a young man who has WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more poise at 18 than I may still have on this very day. Not only did he present well, but his message is important. It's about an 8 minute video, but I think you'll find it worth your time.

Six.

I found this list rather interesting. 50 books kids should read before they're twelve years old. I had read some of them before twelve. I've read some of them since turning twelve. Most I've never read - and some of them I don't ever plan to read. I'm not sure I'd love all these recommendations for my own kids if I had them, but I found the compilation interesting, anyway. How many have you read from this list? (I'm a little sketchy on some that I may have read as a very small child and don't remember, but as far as I can tell, I've only read twelve of them. Whoopsie!)
