The Saturday Six

 

One.

Years ago, I bought a couple of long cardigans, and I loved them. They had short sleeves and a very loose knit and didn't make me too hot. I wore them for years (even wore one of them in one of our engagement shoots!) but when I did the capsule wardrobe a few years ago, I got rid of them. They didn't fit the capsule. But I once again love long cardigans, and I found one at the Goodwill for about three bucks. Looked completely brand new!! Found this post this week about ways to wear long cardigans so I thought I'd share it in case you love them too!

Two.

Finding yourself caught up in spending these days? This post has some great ideas for curbing your desire to spend...and the blog itself has some great advice, if you want to stay and look around for a while! 

Three.

You guys, I'm pretty ready for spring decorations. I think when February scoots out the door, I'll take down the last of the winter themed decor in the house. Perhaps this one might be too colorful for some (I know neutrals are all the rage right now) but I surely love the brightness of it all. Oh spring. Hurry to us, will you? 

Four.

I must not be the only person ready for spring weather, because The Nester posted about it this week too. She has a few slightly more subtle ideas for spring decor in the house - but they're helpful! (I'll try to be done talking about spring decorating now.) 

Five.

I've told you about a number of Bible studies from The Daily Grace Company (and they're actually running a $5 sale through tomorrow, I believe, if you want to check it out and do some shopping!) but I also learned about another Bible study writer that has a couple of options you might want to check out. You can go to her site here and download a PDF of her Ephesians and 2 Peter studies for free - or you can purchase a more colorful, magazine-style version of the same studies from her Etsy shop. I downloaded the free versions but won't get a chance to work on them until after Lent. 

Six.

Finally today...fruit salad can be simple without heavy dressings added to it. I loved this one with some suggestions of things you can add for a pick-me-up without adding a bunch of sugar!

I am so ready for spring!! I have a great lighter fruit salad, you reminded me I haven't made it in ages!

I love those yellow spring decorations! I bought a yellow forsythia wreath last spring at Joann’s on sale for $11 and love it!
Blessings to you and Ryan this weekend.

Happy Saturday Bekah! Thanks so much for choosing to highlight my post on quieting your inner voice of wanting new things. I'm so glad that you found it useful! Cheers!

Tomorrow the PlayDoh snow people are hitting the garbage and I need some spring inspiration. I loved the black and white plaid with yellow forsythia and lemons look but I'm going to see if I can find something simpler. I can't buy a bunch of stuff so I'm off to search Pinterest. Clearly I'm in a spring mood too :)

I really enjoyed the snow covering we've had this month but now with the weather warming up, I'm full on ready for spring!
