The Saturday Six

 

One.

I know some of you may not be ready to think about Christmas decorating yet, but I will say I have noticed a surprising increase in the number of people putting up trees - even before Halloween! (If only mine were here with me, I would be joining them.) But whether you're already working on it or saving it for later, here are some ideas of what to do with leftover stray decor. 

Two.

A few days ago I shared with you some of our favorite investments from 2020, and then I happened upon this post with a recommendation for a very pretty and affordable cookware set! We purchased Calphalon pans with wedding money almost 8 years ago now, and a few of them are starting to get a little ragged looking. (We cook A LOT.) So this caught my eye, even though we aren't in need of a full set replacement just yet. But if you are - I think this one is a great contender! 

Three.

I haven't tried this recipe, and normally I don't share them if I haven't tried them. BUT! It looks really delicious. Maybe I just miss sweets and carbs - I'm not sure. But if you're looking for a little extra something for your Thanksgiving or Christmas appetizer table, this might be a sweet option! 

Four.

I checked to see if Katie Farrell had her 2020 recipe roundup out yet for Dashing Dish Thanksgiving recipes. She didn't yet - but I looked back over this one from 2019 and thought it was a great list! If you're planning now for Thanksgiving Day, these are some healthy options for you. Even though I don't actually like Thanksgiving food, this list made me want to plan our day!

Five.

Ryan, this one is for you. (And for all you other adventure-lovers out there. I'll sit this one out, thanks.) Apparently Indiana has a ziplining roller coaster??? 

Six.

We shall begin AND end this week's list with Christmas talk. If you're not only into decorating, but also into sporting Christmas tees, here are some cute ones that aren't overly complicated in design!

I am a sucker for cookware. I have all-clad pots - my fav!

I like the Christmas trees made out of Christmas carol sheet music! Reminds me of a craft I just watched on YouTube last night with a Christmas trees made out of book pages and hung as a garland. Check this out here. https://youtu.be/46Z06b5QYts

Clearly you are in the Christmas mood this week! :) That's okay, I've been thinking about what I need to acquire this month so I'm all ready for decorating!

I pinned that cranberry orange bread because it sounds DELICIOUS! I can't wait to try it out.

Tamar - I haven't heard those! I'll have to look the up!

Tracy - I tried to make ornaments from book pages once. I think I started with the HARDEST ONE. It was a hilarious flop. I will have to choose an easier one.

Natasha - I am!! All the trees people are posting are getting me in the mood!!!
