The Saturday Six

One.

I confess I haven't really checked out the Dollar Tree's stash of pumpkins this year, but this hack from last year could make for some adorable made-over pumpkins for home!

Two.

When we moved three years ago, I loved the way we organized the entire thing - until the actual move itself. As you may remember, it ended up happening about a month before we planned for it to, and although we were extremely excited to be settled sooner rather than later, it made it impossible to have an official, single moving day like we had planned. Instead, we moved in four or five smaller increments. But up to that point, the organization went well, and if we ever move again, I would do it the same way. This week I found this post by a blogger who has moved multiple time and shared some of her best tips. If you have a move in your future, check it out!

Three.

This is a unique birthday tradition! Sounds great to me at 41. Not sure it will still sound as appealing when I hit the upper numbers!

Four.

This week I tried out a healthy shake/smoothie place, and I have to say I was super impressed with the owners. The place is new, the owners were present, they met me at the door, shook my hand, welcomed me, answered all my questions, told me how the process worked, and I really enjoyed my shake. It was delicious. But I won't lie: the price tag was high. It's the sort of place that will have to be a rare treat for me, because I can't afford to pay that much for a drink on a regular basis. (Double it if I go on a date with Ryan!) So if you're in that boat with me, or if you don't have a place like that where you live, and you wish you could enjoy healthy protein shakes, I will tell you that all the shake recipes on Dashing Dish are free. (Some of her recipes are for paying members only, but all the shake recipes are free.) And they are every bit as good. This I know: I've made most of them.

Five.

Once again, I bring you a list of recipes I haven't personally tried, but I know many of you may be overrun with zucchini right now, whether from your own garden or the offerings of good friends who share! If so, this post has a list of all kinds of zucchini ideas, from savory to sweet!

Six.

I'll have to tell you more about this next week, but I found the most adorable little house (if we only had a prairie). A teaser until then...
