Good morning, friends! Happy
Saturday to you! I have many goals for this day and the first one involves
SLEEPING IN. We’ll see how far I make it. While I’m still snoozing, here are
some fun things for you to check out!
ONE.
Okay THIS is fun! I follow (on Instagram) this baker named
Karli, and she is doing a summer baking challenge. You can go to this page on her website to download her free Bingo card, and then
you have from now until September 1 to try recipe challenges and potentially
win a gift card. Even if you don’t actually enter the gift card challenge, this
is so fun to try something new over the summer, don’t you think?? (Bonus: She
did the bingo card in black and white on purpose so you can color it!) And
guess what? I’ve already started! Made my first two things this week.
TWO.
A couple of years ago, Ryan and I watched a series that was
on one of the HGTVish channels. (Maybe it was actually HGTV – not sure.) It was
all about homes with history and the people that bought them would restore them
to their accurate historical glory. It was really cool to learn more about how
people lived in early American history and to see these homes restored. Even
though I live in too “new” of a part of the country to ever own a home that
old, I now have a fresh appreciation for their craftsmanship and significance! This one popped up on my Facebook feed this week – for sale in
Pennsylvania. It is beautiful. Look at all those fireplaces!!!
THREE.
I am excited that I found some fun new (to me) dresses for the
summer – both casual and nicer for when I’m speaking. I appreciate the good
breeze that you get when you wear a dress in the summer! Anyone? Anyone? Audrey
over at Putting Me Together has some suggestions for some summer
dresses, and I think they’re super cute! If you’re looking for ideas, take a look at hers!
FOUR.
Yvonne at the StoneGable blog has a TON of ideas for a summer patio. Fun to read! We have several of these, and a handful are
on my list of maybe-someday ideas. You’d have to have a porch the size of the
Midwest to incorporate every idea, probably, but maybe you can find an
inspiration piece or two on there. (Fun fact: we have had to clear our back
patio to have work done on it, so right now, our front porch is fulllllllll.
This adventure has helped me better understand what I do and do not want to do
out there in the future. Meanwhile, we’re enjoying the alternate view!)
FIVE.
“There is a price to be paid for our exhaustion. There is a
price to be paid for our restoration. Which one are you more willing to pay?” This post
by my friend, Brenda Jank, is excellent. I would love for you to spend some
time considering it!
SIX.
Father’s Day is tomorrow, and if you’re still scrambling
for a thoughtful gift, you’ll find some good options in this
post. (And they’re different from the typical list of grilling supplies, ties, etc!)
BONUS:
Here are this week’s capsule outfits!
