The Saturday Six

 

One.

I've been working on some ideas for meals for our first trip out in Abby, coming up in a few weeks. Since EVERYTHING will be so new for us on that outing, I'm trying not to expect too much from myself in the cooking department. I'm working on some simple Bento Box type meals for our lunches, so I thought I'd share one of the posts that inspired me. (Please note I am bypassing the marinated tofu. I can't do it.) 

Two.

Here you go, Heather! I shared earlier this week about how I learned to remove a water stain from a table, and this post was my teacher. (It really worked - and my iron finally served a purpose!) 

Three.

I don't know that I would ever make my own shoe rack (at least in my current season of life...hello, busy!) but I loved both the triangular shape of this one AND the brilliance of storing shoes front to back instead of side to side. It's true! Who really DOES need to see both shoes in storage? Why didn't I think of this?

Four.

This felt like a story that would happen to me. If you need a good reminder that you're not alone in the ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?! stories, read this one! 

Five.

I happened upon this scavenger hunt, which was created for kids, but it makes note that it's for adults too, and that caught my eye. A gratitude scavenger hunt? Yes, I can see how adults might need that more than kids right now, actually. Perspective is everything, and this will definitely help with some perspective! 

Six.

I'll just start by saying this recipe doesn't fall in the healthy category. But I think this may be a green bean casserole recipe I could get on board with. Seriously.

What a fun use of cardboard! So exciting to be meal planning for Abby!!

Thanks for the link! Maybe I'll try it out today.

The YouTuber I follow (The Minimal Mom) and her family just went on a camping trip. They brought their Instapot and new air fryer along. They said they used the air fryer quite a bit (outside).
Those protein boxes seem like they’d take up a lot of fridge space, but maybe that’s not an issue!
Happy adventures!

Tamar - Isn't it? So creative!

Heather - I hope it works for you, too!

Tracy - I haven't taken the Instapot leap yet, but this may make me do it! I don't have the actual boxes for the protein boxes, so I would have to make mine on demand. But we have decent fridge space, so that's exciting!

I LOVE the cardboard shoe rack and may actually make that over Spring Break. My shoes are a disaster. I could also get rid of some pairs of shoes but...

Also, that gratitude scavenger hunt is something our whole family should adopt, I'm really struggling right now and need an attitude change.
