Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

Good morning! Happy Saturday! This has been a most interesting week – complete with new beginnings, injured feet, and lots of dreaming. (How’s that for a weird mix?) I hope your start to September has gone well (and with less injury) and that you enjoy your weekend! Here are a few finds for your perusal!

ONE.

Have I ever shared this on here before? It’s not ringing a bell to me, but after this many years of blogging, I’m bound to have a repeat now and then. It’s another idea for a long, premade meal plan in case you hate meal planning and need something simple to guide you. Also – I giggle because the blogger is funny. Trying to imagine what people are going to hate you for when you try to help them is real for social media, isn’t it? Her disclaimers are pretty thorough! BONUS: If you are interested in eating seasonally this fall, here is a guide to help you know what is in season and the kinds of foods you can prepare to use what God made for this time of year!

TWO.

I loved this list of small house tours on the Country Living website, but alas, if you are not a member of the site, you can’t see more than the outside pictures. I share it with you because perhaps you DO have a subscription to the site and can see it, but even if not, some of the descriptions have links to the owners’ sites or social media. That is always fun to explore! And at the very least, you can see the outsides of a lot of pretty little houses!

THREE.

Every day cannot be a romantic little picture that just crawled from the pages of a book. We know that full well. But I also think life is a little better when it includes a moment now and then that is a romantic little picture that just crawled from the pages of a book. Here are some ideas to get you started this fall!

FOUR.

If you’re into cottagecore and affordability, here is a list of cottagecore-inspired things you can get at IKEA for under $10. Note: This post is a few years old, so one things on the list is no longer available. Two are no longer under $10 – but the rest are! I am intrigued by the pillow covers. I’ve been pondering getting some for some of my own decorative pillows. Ryan? We might need to go to IKEA.

FIVE.

Ever feel paralyzed from moving forward? Boy, I have. As I have taken stock of where I’ve been, where I am, and where I might be going in a couple of areas of my own life, I have told Ryan MULTIPLE times that I just feel paralyzed. I’m not sure which step to take, so I just stand still. This post has some good questions to ask if you’re feeling stuck. If you’re looking for concrete answers, you won’t find them here, but you can find good questions to explore!

SIX.

This is a fantastic list to guide you in what you might need to declutter from your home this month. A thousand times yes to clearing out things you don’t need, want, or use. Doesn’t fit? Goodbye. Doesn’t fit your style? Goodbye. Worn out? Goodbye. Duplicate or excess? Goodbye. Great ideas here!

BONUS!

Here are this week's capsule wardrobe ensembles. I pulled in some things I haven't worn for a while - some were new this year entirely! (Meaning I owned them but they hadn't yet made it into a capsule.
