Saturday Suggestions


ONE. 

If you’re traveling this summer and you need some ideas for how to eat your meals and snacks from a hotel room with limited prep materials, this post has several great ideas! Some will require working ahead before you leave home, but it sure beats eating out of a vending machine – or eating every single meal out! You can make adjustments for allergies or choosing healthy options, but this is a fantastic springboard.

TWO. 

Did you know you can buy insulated reusable storage containers for homemade ice cream? I think these are pretty cute! (I haven’t had any homemade ice cream yet this summer, but I hope I do! It really is one of my favorite things. Last year we had it at our small group one night, and it was so delicious.)

THREE. 

I think it was Paula that asked a while ago about meal planning tips. I’m ever changing how I do that, but I stumbled on this gold mine of ONE THOUSAND RECIPES that you can use in your meal planning. Clearly I cannot vouch for making these, but if you love browsing recipes, this will keep you busy for a while.

FOUR. 

Yesterday I wrote about remembering to rest, and while this post isn’t all about rest in general, it is about simplicity and how sometimes even hard work can bring simplicity and rest. I enjoyed the words and thought I’d share them with you today!

FIVE. 

Well, this is fun! You’ve probably seen (and I probably shared at some point along the way) the map someone created back in 2015 to give you an idea of how to travel the US to stay in 70 degree temps throughout the year. Well, now there is a NEW version of the map! New routes and new ideas! How fun! You know me…always a sucker for a good travel map. Might need to do some new dreaming here!

SIX. 

Last week I shared with you the idea of a 101 things in 1001 days post, and now they’re popping up all over for me in Pinterest. I found another one that had some inspiring ideas on it. Sharing this one today! Fun fact: I’ve done 50 of her goals in my lifetime. Maybe not in 1001 days, but I’ve done 50 of them!

That road trip map is awesome.

When we go on vacation, we eat out, since we have few options where we live. But since I hate cooking, these microwave ideas could be for regular life.😂
