Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

Good morning, friends! It’s haircut day for Lexi! She’s been looking a little bedraggled the last couple of weeks (but don’t mention it…she gets a little sad) and will feel so much better after she can see again! Ha! While she goes to the spa, here are some fun things for your Saturday…

ONE.

My hope is to start my summer capsule wardrobe at the start of June. It feels like I just started the spring one, but in truth, I did so in mid-March, so it’s been two full months now! June 1 (weather-wise) starts summer around here, so I would love to spend June/July/August in some summer choices. I have a feeling it will be a more challenging round for me because my desire/ability to layer is going to decrease significantly in the summer months. I’ve used posts by Clothed in Grace for the last two capsules I’ve made, but she doesn’t have a summer one up yet, so I think I’m going to use this previous-year capsule by Putting Me Together to inspire my summer looks. BONUS: If that one isn’t your style, maybe this one would have some winners for you.

TWO.

It’s been too long of a while since I took a proper personal retreat. Prior to getting married, I used to go away overnight once a year for a retreat, and then after marriage, I used to take a couple of daytimes away for reflection. I haven’t done it in recent years, but it’s certainly something worth considering! My friend, Brenda Jank, wrote this outline for how to spend your time on a personal retreat, and I love the outline. If you haven’t done something like this before, I absolutely recommend it – and I need to take my own recommendation!

THREE.

It’s been a while since I shared a drool-worthy tiny house. FOUND ONE! I don’t think there’s a single thing about this one I don’t like! BONUS: That tour came from a guy named Levi who has a whole site of recommendations of unique places to stay. Check out some of the fun finds here!

FOUR.

I’ve shared often on here about my desire to one day travel Route 66 (and a bunch of other places around the United States). I have a working itinerary for Route 66 that I’ve been crafting for years now, one little piece at a time. I’m finally out to Arizona, and I’m not sure how I just learned about this, but I just discovered the Meteor Crater in Winslow, Arizona! Have you heard of this? It’s just off Route 66 and absolutely went on my itinerary!

FIVE.

I love it when I find free prints to download to use for art in our home. I typically use these for frames that I change out seasonally. I know that plant prints are not only popular, but they’re a great way to add art if you don’t like for your pieces to have words on them. This simple botanical print is free to download if you need a spring/summer art piece with no words!

SIX.

Spreading kindness matters so much. I have been the recipient of some sweet kindness in the last month, and it has meant more to me than I could ever convey to those who offered it. Sometimes finding creative ways to show kindness don’t naturally pop into our heads, so here is a HUGE list of ways to bless others. Many don’t cost anything! Even if some of these aren’t the right fit for you or the people around you, maybe reading the list will give you great ideas that aren’t listed here!

BONUS: Here were this week’s capsule creations:
