The Saturday Six

One.

I happened upon the Stone Gable blog through Pinterest, somehow, and I've enjoyed reading her posts over the past few weeks. This week, though, she gave a beautiful house tour and talked about how their house came to be. I love a good house story, so this was a fun read!

Two.

I spent some time in the kitchen this week, and I'm always on the lookout for some new baking tips. So when I happened upon this article with secret tips from a sous chef, I had to check it out. A few of these intrigued me!

Three.

I don't remember stumbling upon this blogger before, but she has some fun clothing ideas. My favorite posts are the ones where she shows you multiple ways to wear one item. Sometimes I need help with the obvious.

Four.

cookie box??? I love this! I'm starting to think there might be merit in doing birthday gifts all at one time each month - cookie boxes for the win.

Five.

Because I read this blog pretty regularly, I had seen the full posts on a lot of these room makeovers, but this full house tour of how this blogger made over a rental house to give it her own personality is impressive indeed. If you're a renter, you might find some good ideas in here!

Six.

If you're starting a new planner (with the start of a new school year) or just need a new organization system in your current planner, take a look at this post. I hadn't seen it until this week, but this is pretty much the same system I use for the two of us! In my planner, pink/red means the item pertains to me, orange means Ryan, and teal means both of us together. I note all birthdays and anniversaries in green and write holidays in black.

That house came out awesome!!! It can be SO hard as a renter to make it your own!

I love to read about baking/ decorating tips. Off to make cookies... I won't chill the dough for 24 hours; I've read numerous times that's what you're supposed to do. Sometimes you just want a cookie right away though :).

Tamar - I bet it can! I loved the way she did it!

Maria - I never chill mine either. I always bake cookies on a must-have-immediately basis. Did you see Joanna Gaines' post about sneaking into her restaurant to eat cookie dough out of the refrigerator? There were trays and trays waiting to be baked!
