The Saturday Six

One.

Well this is just too stinkin' cute. A tic tac toe board with orange and white pumpkins for markers! If you're having a fall party, you might just have to make one of these, based on cuteness alone.

Two.

This was a powerful article. I agree with what the author says - and it's convicting to me as an author and speaker. While I believe in the importance of relating to people through stories, I hope the biggest takeaway is always about Jesus. I hope the majority of the words are always about Jesus.

Three.

This former park ranger has a blog with all kinds of tips and hints for taking great trips to national parks! She even has itineraries for purchase to help you have the fullest trips possible. We haven't taken trips out west yet, but I'm keeping this resource tucked in my pocket for when we do!)

Four.

Our small group started meeting again this week, and we had some new people join our group. Some of them commented on our coffee kitchen - which we still love so much. I stumbled upon this post this week, and it has some fun ideas for coffee bars (big and small!), so if you want some inspiration to get a Shaffer-esque coffee area in your house, take a look!

Five.

You know my fond affection for cute food, right? I LOVE THIS ONE!!! You can make (or buy) brownies and then dress them up for presentation. My favorite thing about this is that I think anyone can do it, regardless of baking or artistic skills (or lack thereof).

Six.

An intriguing guide to filling your freezer with meals...if such a thing interests you and terrifies you all at the same time. I've never done it, but then again, it's just the two of us, and I work from home, so I usually have time to cook from scratch. Still, though...intriguing.
