The Saturday Six

One.

I've been reading that it's hard for people to find yeast in stores these days. I think everyone bought it up in anticipation of not being able to find bread (which is also hard to find sometimes right now). If you're in that boat, need some bread, and can't find yeast, here's a tutorial for a sourdough starter. (Or you can just imagine you're on the prairie and want to make sourdough bread.)

Two.

Okay, so this linked post is not in English, which I think may be a first for me, but all you need is the picture, so I'm linking it anyway! For those of you who may be running out of ideas of things to do for fun OR for teaching tools with your kids, here's a paper airplane activity. Different holes in the board are worth different points. You could easily make this into a math game - or just have fun that is unlikely to damage anything in the house!

Three.

It's a strange year for all of us this year - not being able to celebrate Easter as we always have done. It's more than not being able to stuff an Easter basket for your kids, dress the family up in matching clothes, or have lunch together with everyone after church on Sunday. I found this article with tons of options for keeping Easter the focal point of the week to come. Some of the points have to do with teaching your kids, but some would be great to implement even if you don't have children in your home!

Four.

Need some new ideas for making easy lunches? Would 55 wrap ideas do it for you? Even if you don't make the exact recipes, this might inspire some creativity for new meals!

Five.

And with all this extra time on your hands if you feel the urge to start making things that allow you to save money - here's a starter list! 

Six.

I've talked about my friend Brent Vernon may times. He sings, he plays the piano, he writes amazing children's books, and this coming week, he's doing a reading of one of his books live on Facebook! This is the link to the page, and even though I'm not his target audience, this is one of my favorite books. (I've used it - with permission - as the basis of one of my talks before, actually.) Whether or not you have little ones in your house, I think you'll like it!
