The Saturday Six

One.

It's already started, but if you missed the memo, Hallmark is doing a Christmas movie marathon this weekend. Not that I know where I'll be...

Two.
If you're unable to get out and shop right now, but you want to send a little encouragement, check out this happy mail site! (The shop owner's husband was in my high school graduating class, and he shared about it this week.)

Three.

Have you noticed an influx of freebies online - especially for kids? Lots of lessons and classes that people are so generously making available for free during this time. This week I found about this five session video series available for free! It's called Anxious for Nothing (appropriate, no?) and it's by Max Lucado!!! (I really enjoy his writing and teaching.) Check it out! (Note: I have not read this study, but since it's Max, I feel I can recommend it!)

Four.

One of my friends that I met at a retreat a few years ago posted this week that she isn't stressed about the TP shortage, because her family uses reusable TP. (It's a real thing. Look on Etsy!) I'm not knocking it AT ALL (especially in these days!) but it would definitely take some getting used to! But how about this list from the kitchen? Do you use any of these reusable things? Any of these gross you out? I confess a few intrigue me!

Five.

Well, at least here in our county, Hobby Lobby is closed for the foreseeable future. (We are under a travel ban, so all non-essential businesses were required to close. I know. How could Hobby Lobby be non-essential?) If you didn't make it there before closing time and therefore didn't get any Easter décor for your house, how about this simple twig/twine DIY cross?

Six.

What are you learning during your extra time off? (If you have any. I know not everyone does.) If flower arranging was on your list, check out this post. I am pretty sure if I tried this, mine might look a little more toddler-ish than this, but I think this one is gorgeous!

Hi Bekah,
I work at Parkview in Nursing Education, so my team members are busy and getting stressed. I remember your bubble wrap treats that you made for Ryan’s office. I bought two rolls of bubble wrap this week and four bags of dark chocolate, so I am going to make a little treats for my coworkers. I printed out little cards to go with them and included a Bible verse. I will need to distribute most of them through interoffice mail since we work in all different locations.

I’m still working at the office, but many others in our building are working from home.

So neat that Hallmark is putting on Christmas movies! But, they need to release Season 6 of When Calls the Heart to Netflix!

I just had my carpet cleaned this week for the first time in more years than I would like to admit! Now it is motivating me to rearrange furniture and try some different things. I also have a few pieces of furniture to get rid of, and I just want to set them at the curb, but if nobody is out and about, I don’t think anyone will pick things up!

Take care!

I am blown away by the number of educational sites for educators and families that are offering free memberships for the time being - SUCH a help!!
I'm working on lots of reading and puzzle time!

Tracy - You are so thoughtful!!!! I'm so glad you did that little encouragement gift! Have you heard any rumors of Season 6 coming to Netflix? You'd think this would be the time to do it! Happy rearranging and cleaning!!!

Tamar - I'm still loving all your photography posts even in this time. I'm eager to see how your eye captures this season from your part of the country!
