The Saturday Six

 

One.

I have no idea if grapes would grow where we live, but I still had fun reading this post about growing grapes at home. So pretty hanging from the arbors!! Any of you ever try growing grapes? 

Two.

I don't know if you like looking at cute little storybook-esque homes, but if you do, here are some for sale right now. I have to confess I'm a sucker for an adorable little rounded door on a brick house! 

Three.

I have some pretty strict rules about not putting my purse on the table or kitchen counter. After all - it sits on the car floor and everywhere else the rest of the time. Yuck! But I love this hack for keeping your ingredient containers clean while you're cooking! Never thought of this! 

Four.

I've heard of the Christmas gift-giving rule of thumb "Something they want, need, to wear, and read," but this week I stumbled upon this additional list of seven gift ideas. I really like some of the extra ideas at the end! If you're looking for some new traditions for your family, this might be a great way to go!

Five.

I don't know if storage zings you as much as it zings me, but I think this blogger's storage area is SO PRETTY. I know she says in her post that it's not pretty, but I disagree! One of the biggest adjustments we've had to make (living-space wise) in coming to WillowBridge has been losing any kind of attic/storage space. We are able to tuck a few things here and there around WillowBridge, but I love what she's done! 

Six.

Maybe I've shared something like this at some point along the way, but it certainly can't be over-shared, so I don't even care if it's a duplicate. I remember when I was in elementary school and one of my Sunday School teachers made a point of encouraging those of us in the class to pray out loud. It was INSANELY SCARY and none of us wanted to do it ever. None of us liked doing it. We were young and afraid of being made fun of. But she pushed us to do it, and looking back now, I'm so glad she did. It was a good foundation in praying out loud. If you have kids in your life - your own or kids you teach or kids who hang out at your house - here are some great ideas for encouraging kids to pray. It's a great gift to give!
