Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

Happy Saturday, friends! We had some much-needed rain here last night, and we are thankful for it. Well. Lexi wasn’t. She and Ryan had been outside together, and he ran in to get something for one second, and she was still standing there when it started out of nowhere! We got her right inside, but she stared at us like we had three heads. I guess she didn’t appreciate having her hair messed up! While she calms down – here are some finds for you!

ONE.

I am doing some contract work for the wonderful Run Hard. Rest Well. organization. Last week, a news organization interviewed Brenda, the CEO, and it was a delight to get to read the article! I thought I’d share it here in case you want to learn more!

TWO.

Ryan and I had the privilege of meeting our blog friends, Dave and Natasha (and their kids!) a few years ago when they were traveling around the USA. It was such a fun day. Ryan and I were at the lake with his family and they met us there, and we showed them around the lake country of northern Indiana! Anyway, Dave and Natasha are great travelers and recently went to Scotland, where they did a huge (92 mile!!) hike! She recapped it here (with another post to come, I think!), and I just have to say that if I was brave enough for international flying, I think this would be on my list. This is BEAUTIFUL!

THREE.

If you rent your home and can’t do permanent changes or upgrades for you, well, first of all, I would 100% recommend checking out Megan’s blog. She’s a military wife who has moved often and finds amazing ways to make each rented house feel and look like a custom home while she lives there. Her family just moved again, and this week she posted this about her favorite kitchen renovation in a rented home! Even if you’re not a renter, but invasive makeovers aren’t your thing (or you change your mind a lot and don’t want to invest in a bunch of permanent ideas) check out what she did!

FOUR.

One of my Facebook friends shared this article Newsweek did featuring his daughter. She has POTS, which is something I’m marginally familiar with but not well-versed in understanding, and it was so helpful to read. She explains how she gets herself in a safe place if she feels she is going to pass out – and there is even a viral video of her passing out at the gym. If you are also not that versed in the symptoms of POTS or how to assist someone in a moment like this one, I encourage you to read this. It’s well done.

FIVE.

If you’re in a season of waiting, this song is a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness and trustworthiness. He is worthy of our waiting and trust!

SIX.

I have never made homemade salsa before (WHAT?) but this recipe looks doable – if I left out the peppers. I’m far too mild for my own good in the salsa department. I also think the chopper that dices looks like a winner. I have a chopper that shreds and slices, but dicing??? That is fancy!
