Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

 

Good morning, friends! This has been a harried week in our household, so I am not sure any of the pieces of today’s post flow with any particular grace, but I hope you enjoy them anyway! Have a wonderful weekend!

ONE. 

When I shared my monthly goals with you this past Monday, one of them included finalizing my garden and flower planting plans for this year. I happened upon thiswebsite through a blog hop this week and paused to consider planting wildflowers from seed. I’ve never done this before at any of our homes, but there are some areas here where I think it could work really well! I will have to give this some thought. Any of you plant wildflowers like this?

TWO. 

Tuesday I told you all about our Easter lunch, and I wanted to give you the links to some of the recipes we used! I made our ham in the slow cooker, not the oven, but I used this recipe for the glaze. Ryan LOVED IT. We have been using it for leftovers off and on throughout the week and will still have some to freeze and use later! I used this recipe for a healthier version of deviled eggs. They weren’t incredibly sweet, but I liked them. (And I liked them more and more a couple of days later after the flavors had married more.) We love Marie Calender’s razzleberry pie, but I made this healthierrazzleberry crisp version for our dessert. I loved it more than Ryan did. It wasn’t sweet enough for him. (He just added sugar and ate it anyway.) But I would 100% make this again. Keeper!

THREE. 

You know I love a good memory-making opportunity, and I especially love it when those opportunities center around food in some way. I’m happy that we have found a handful of ways to preserve some recipes from our family. Ryan and I have a handwritten recipe card from each of our moms that I’ve framed and hung in our kitchen. A few years ago, my mom, sisters, niece, and I all made copies of recipes (handwritten) to have in a book that we each have a copy of, and I love it. If you are looking for some ways to hang onto recipes, handwriting, and food memories, this post has some great ideas. It’s a meaningful thing to do – for a gift, or just in general!

FOUR. 

My favorite planner company just released its new covers for undated planners and journals. (I tend to buy mine on clearance in the winter, but I always love seeing the new covers when they release.) They have a 20% off sale for a few days, so if you need a new planner, check them out! PS – I am working on putting together a post about how I use my planner.

FIVE. 

I adored scrolling through thesecottagecore kitchens. I don’t know that any one is my dream kitchen, but elements of almost all of them are sweet Do you like any of these looks? I think the hardest part for me (if I were going to go full cottagecore) would be letting go of the matching look. But what I love most about these rooms? They are rich in story!

SIX. 

I might be sharing thisone more for Ryan than anyone else…hint hint. Remember how I mentioned one of my goals for this month was to work on our coffee station? Well…here is a GREAT inspiration for it, because I was planning to use the Hoosier cabinet we have as the base for the station! What do you think, Ryan?
