Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

ONE.

Monday, I told you about speaking at the event at Loving Shepherd Ministries last week, and after the event was over, one of my Sunday School friends sent me this song by Kari Jobe. She said she thought of it after some of the things I shared, and she wanted me to hear it. I was so glad she sent it because I had not heard it before, and I love it. I hope you enjoy the music and the message! BONUS: Finding this new-to-me Kari Jobe song made me remember the first of her songs I ever heard back in the day. It was this one, although I heard a different artist sing it before I heard Kari. It’s another good one, so I hope you like it, too!

TWO.

This week I gave you an update on our living room re-vision, and one of the parts I’m still working on is polishing up the half-done wall on one side. I don’t like super busy-looking walls, so I’m trying to think of ways to make it look complete without being overwhelming. This article reminded me that I can incorporate things like small shelves or even a hanging plant to add some extra character to that space. Even though I haven’t found the exact look I want to recreate, there were some good ideas in here that helped inspire me!

THREE.

As I continue to work on our living room, I think often about how to make our home super cozy. I found this article with ideas, and I was so happy to see that we already do many of the things on this list! And I also agree that they do make the space feel cozy. BONUS: This post comes at the idea of home from a different direction, but I agree with it just as much! Home really is as much (if not more) about what happens within it rather than what is in it.

FOUR.

When I shared our “Day in the Life” post this week, I posted a picture of Ryan’s lunch box. I gave that to him as a gift a couple of years ago – and it is perfect for what he needs. I got it at Walmart in the camping section. Apparently, it’s actually a drink cooler, but it works as a lunch box for him. Here is the link to it. It has a removable hard liner, so if you have a spill, you can pull that out and wash it! So handy! There are also side, front, and top pockets, where you can store utensils or other items. (He carries sunglasses, cough drops, etc. in those pockets.) It’s durable and has worked really well for him.

FIVE.

I’ve still been working on garden plans for this year, and I happened upon this idea for making custom plant markers. This is so much better than a popsicle stick and a Sharpie, which is what I did last year! (Though that worked nicely, so it’s an option if needed.) I have a set of alphabet stamps much like this one and this whole craft project idea is just adorable. I want to try!

SIX.

This house renovation’s after pictures are adorable. I love several of the small touches they put into it. From paint colors to board and batten…I really love it. BONUS: This house, right here in Indiana, was on my social media feed this week. Even if the overall style of the house isn’t yours, check it out for the mere appreciation of all the little details! Pretty impressive!
