Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

Good morning, blog friends! It has been a rainy couple of days here, and I have honestly loved it, because it means Ryan hasn’t had to water the yard every single night. I have grand plans for my day today and am excited to cross things off my list! While I do that…here are some things for you!

ONE.

I don’t know when back-to-school hits your area, but here, it starts this coming week. WHAT?!?! So early! Back to school means back to the store to buy all kinds of supplies, and here’s a great link for some food storage supplies. You don’t have to have kids in school to get some good ideas from this post. If you carry your lunch (or snacks) anywhere, you can find some winners on this list. (We have the souper cubes and love them.) And if you’re trying to steer clear of plastic food storage, you will find great options here!

TWO.

I feel like I might be a little late to this party, but one of my Facebook friends shared this news article about a guy from near our home area who is finishing up a run AROUND the United States. Not across. AROUND. He started last fall in Cleveland and made it all the way to the finish line this week! I literally can’t even imagine. Ryan and I watched a handful of the guy’s Instagram videos. Fascinating to read about how many miles he can run in one day – WHILE pulling a cart!

THREE.

I love roses and walking through rose gardens, but I do not aspire to have a rose garden of my own. That’s probably good, because I don’t have the space for it anyway! 😊 But this blogger created a tour of her mom’s home rose garden with over 99 rose bushes in it. One of the biggest takeaways I learned from the tour was that you should not plant a rose garden solely because you love roses. You should only do it if you love roses AND gardening. If you want to see some pretty flowers, check out the video! BONUS: Speaking of flowers, if you want a (non-video) tutorial of how to make a flower arrangement of sunflowers and hydrangeas for your home, here you go!

FOUR.

One of these days – I want to walk the Mackinac Bridge on Labor Day. It surprises even me that I want to do this, since heights and bridges are not always my favorite thing. But it’s on my to-do list. Any of you done it?

FIVE.

I ran across this cookie café in Chicago called the Twisted Cookie. It looks so good. I think maybe I should be glad it is too far for me to visit on the regular. I’m not sure I could have ANY sort of self-control. Have any of you ever been here? So many great ideas on this website!

SIX.

Can we just travel for all of December? So many cute places that I’d love to see at Christmas – and only so much December to go around! (I think I’ve only been to one of these so far, and it was in the summer!)
