The Saturday Six

One.

One of you asked this week if I would blog about what to take to a safe place during a storm - so I thought I would share a post I wrote a few years ago about that very thing! We had a line of bad storms this week - and I know it impacted a number of states, so it's not bad information to revisit!

Two.

 Are you an expert at sheet folding? I most certainly am NOT! We actually don't have a ton of sheets right now so that helps with storage. Not that you care, but when we moved, we downsized from a king to a queen bed, so right now we just have one set of sheets for our bed. (I just wash them and put them back on the bed every week.) Eventually we'll invest in a second set, but one is plenty for now. Our guest bed sits as a twin and expands to a king, so I have one set of twin sheets and I kept one set of king sheets to make it up at either size. We got rid of all the rest of our sheets before we moved. But I remember how BULKY some of them were in storage! I guess I needed this tutorial earlier.

Three.

Well isn't THIS a good idea?!?!?!!? Essential oils on little felt pads - like you would put on the bottom of furniture - to make a mini air freshener. I see this happening in our kitchen trash can. It's been a bit on the pungent side lately!!

Four.

Ryan and I have been super challenged in finding ways/time to work out right now. It's a priority for us to figure out as we settle into our new way of life. While hunting through Pinterest, I found this idea, and I thought I'd share it, because I know some of you struggle with being able to work out for any number of reasons. (Health issues, time, lack of equipment at home, gym restrictions because of quarantine, etc.) Probably over a decade ago now, I did some of Leslie Sansone's "Walk away the Pounds" workouts on DVD, and it appears she has really jazzed it up now! You can do a week's free trial and subscribe by month or year, and it's pretty affordable in my opinion. You can walk in your home (yes, it really does work!) and it looks like she's added in some things with curls and squats and such while you walk. Check it out if you need an at-home workout!

Five.

Ahhhhh, the hostess gift. I'm always looking for new ideas - and this was a good one - and inexpensive, too!

Six.

I'm not hurrying fall here. I love fall so much, but I'm content to enjoy a few more days of summer before it arrives. (Saw a house completely decked out with pumpkins on my walk last night, though, so I think it's officially been invited up here!) Anyway! I do love fall foods, especially pumpkin foods. And there was a lady in our small group who got me totally hooked on whoopie pies, so to find a pumpkin whoopie pie recipe was pretty exciting. I think this looks amazing.
