Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

I don’t know where all of you are reading from today, but I know the weather has been so brutal for so many. We saw last night that our beloved wedding sanctuary beach was hit hard and will be closed indefinitely. My goodness. I can’t wrap my mind around the devastation.

It seems frivolous to offer art and games and other such things in the wake of huge and pressing news, so if this isn’t the right time for you to read them, that’s okay. But if you do need something to read on this rainy Saturday, I hope you find something in the list!

ONE.

I have always loved printing out free art for our house. Pinterest has been a true gold mine for me over the years. But I feel like the quality of freebies is really going up quickly! Here is a link to lots of fall freebies if you need to add a little fall look to your house without breaking the bank. BONUS: Here is a great post with ideas for how to add fall touches (including printables) without adding a ton of things to store in the off-season!

TWO.

I had posted to Instagram about going to buy mums, and one of my friends asked how to care for them. (Bless her for thinking I have a super green thumb!) Thankfully another friend swept in with some advice, but this week I stumbled upon this entire post about caring for mums! If you’re not sure how to get the most life and color out of them, check out Yvonne’s tips! She has ideas for indoor AND outdoor plants.

THREE.

I enjoyed reading thisarticle about Keyton Romero, who is quite gifted musically. Keyton’s mom, Aimee, was a year ahead of me in school and in Swing Choir with Ryan, but she (as the article mentions) tragically lost her life in 2021. Keyton has many of Aimee’s musical gifts and it wouldn’t surprise me one single bit if she ended up becoming a name you know by heart one day.

FOUR.

Many of my friends are in the season of life where they are watching their kids graduate from high school and head off to college. They are in full-fledged care package mode! I found thispost that recommends a cookbook filled with recipes that ship well. If you are in a care-package-making season or just have friends who live far away that you’d like to bless, check out this post (which includes a sneak peek recipe) and the book it recommends!

FIVE.

This isn’t financially practical (in our home, anyway) but goodness, it is cute! A set of tried-and-true board games packaged like hardcover books. Wouldn’t this be SO PRETTY sitting in your home?? But the cost is, well, astronomical.

SIX.

Some really encouraging, profound, convicting words in thispost written by Gretchen Saffles. I think there’s a little something for all of us in here.
