Saturday Suggestions

Hey friends! Happy Saturday! I hope today is a beautiful one for you. I have a few fun finds for you today. Enjoy!

ONE. 

You know how I love to look at house tours online. This one caught my interest because she shared her home in real-life mode. Every tour you ever take shows the house at its best, right? Everything is always picked up and put away. Everything is staged and perfect. Is it even realistic? While Ryan and I like to keep a clean house as much as possible, it’s also true that life just happens. I applaud this blogger for sharing her house on a regular day – and writing about why she loves the imperfections left behind by kids and pets. Well done!

TWO. 

You might have heard about this, but if not, Dairy Queen has a limited time special for small Blizzards. You can get them for 85 cents, which is the same price they were when they were first released in 1985. Please learn from our debacle, though. You can only order them through the app, and you have to have the app downloaded on your phone over 24 hours to access the deal. Also, a thousand props to the extra-mile cashier who gave me the special price even though I had just downloaded the app. That was some excellent customer service and did not go unnoticed. It had not been the best day, and finding out I wasn’t getting an 85 cent Blizzard was an ironic bookend to the day. Then she fixed it all!

THREE. 

You know my undying love for cute food. Even though I’m not the world’s biggest fan of pumpkin pie (texture thing), I think this take on it is adorable, and I would absolutely eat it.

FOUR. 

Seems like I’m not alone in loving You’ve Got Mail. It was fun to hear from some of you this week about how much you love it too! If you want to have a movie party, here’s all the inspiration you need! (And if you have the party, invite me!)

FIVE. 

Now and then I get questions about how I make my meal plans, and I know some of you don’t really have time to create plans on the regular. (I get it!!) I have shared different sources for such plans over the years, but I stumbled on this one this week and thought I would share it now! It looks like she might be making a new plan every week this year, so she doesn’t have a full year’s repertoire yet, but if she sticks with it, she will by the end of the year! Maybe you’ll find some winner ideas in here.

SIX.

If you’re having family pictures taken this fall and cannot figure out a color combination to try, look at some of these ideas! Even if you don’t like the actual outfits, you might get some ideas for colors you wouldn’t have thought to pair.
