Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

Good morning, friends! Ryan and I had a fulllllllllll and busy day yesterday – day one of our garage sale! Today’s weather is supposed to be hit-and-miss, so I am grateful we sold so much yesterday! While we’re selling thrifted treasures, I have some fun finds for your day!

ONE.

Some of you might remember that a couple of weeks ago, I shared some words written by my friend Dave after the sudden death of his father. Well, this past weekend, Dave’s daughter got married, and he posted the message he shared at the wedding. I thought it was beautiful and impactful about marriage in general, so even if you don’t know the family or the happy couple, I think you can find something beautiful in here!

TWO.

I was talking to my sister this week about cottagecore, which was a new term for her. Maybe it is for you, too! This post explains what it is – in a house, in clothing, and in activity. (Although I will say I don’t think the author meant to say that the decorating was homely. I think she meant homey. Big difference! BONUS: This post is similar – not so much about cottagecore, but just about simplicity. Both, I think, are calming to read!

THREE.

Back when we lived in Kokomo, I fell in love with quilts for bed covers, and we have one for our guest bed and our own bed. The guest bed one is holding up great. The one for our bed has fallen victim to life with two pets…a few times. It still works, but I always keep my eye out for one that looks a little less (literally) chewed up. I looked at some this week just for fun and particularly loved this one. This was another favorite – and reminds me quite a bit of what we have now! How about you? Love the quilts or prefer something else on a bed?

FOUR.

Ryan and I still have lofty traveling dreams for someday, but since moving to the lake, we have found a fresh love for just being home. We’ve certainly had seasons where we have loved home-life more than others. How about you? I found this post this week for ideas on how to love being home more, and we do many of these already. They really do work!! If you’re struggling to love being home, check out this list. You might find some fresh ideas!

FIVE.

Ryan and I had the first day of our garage sale yesterday and it so felt like a Saturday that I’m half afraid I’ll go to church today! We’ve been so consumed with prepping for this event that I have not even remembered it’s Memorial Day weekend. But it is, and that means cookouts abound! If you’re going to one and need some ideas for some better-for-you recipes, here is a whole list! Some of them look pretty yummy!

SIX.

Summer has arrived, and with it – fun adventures outside! If you’re planning any day hikes at state parks this year, this post has great ideas for what to take along with you to make sure you stay safe, healthy, hydrated, and fed! It’s so easy to forget to pack a major item, so maybe this will help make the experience more enjoyable for you! 😊
