Good morning! Happy Saturday! Ryan is helping some of our
friends move today, and we’re all hoping they’re able to get the bulk of the
work done before bad weather moves in. We’ve had quite the week here at home,
and I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow, but for today, I’m thankful for some
rest and creativity!
And
here are some things for you on this fine Saturday!
Once upon a time, Ryan and I dreamed of running
an ice cream shop. In retrospect, it’s probably good for my long term health
that we didn’t. I would have taken sampling to a whole new level. 😊
But I do like to still dabble in the dream, at least in my mind, so you can see
why I paused to look at this homemade waffle cone recipe, right? I’m not really into adding unnecessary
kitchen gadgets, BUT….a waffle cone iron would be fun…
I’ve been watching some (but not much,
unfortunately) of the Christmas in July movies airing right now. I’m still
fully embracing my warm summer, but there is something delightfully cozy about
those Christmas movies! So stumbling upon this Christmas movie cookbook made me smile! This book isn’t geared toward
Hallmark or other TV movies, but if you want to make the foods of some of your
favorite Christmas movies, here you go! You can host an entire party revolving
around your favorite movie! (BONUS: This cookbook does seem to lean more toward the TV movies, if you prefer!)
Look at Kari Anne’s book themed shower! It is absolutely adorable. I love the photo wall made of
books! I’ve never been to a book themed shower or party, but I think it would
be quite fun someday! And the food themes are so clever.
A tutorial on drying herbs
for future use! I am happy to report that the herbs I bought for my little
indoor herb garden are thriving since I moved them to a different window, and
now I need to cut back the thyme! It’s spilling over! I plan to do this so I
can keep them for the future!
When Ryan and I moved to WillowBridge, we downsized
our bed from a king to a queen, which meant we had to get new bedding. Our
beloved quilt took a real beating between three years of an elderly cat and
three years of a puppy. Quite some time ago, I put a new quilt on my wish list,
and it went on a great sale during Prime days, so we purchased it. I’ve been
looking at bedroom layouts on Pinterest to see if I can make our overall room
look a little cuter when we switch out the quilt. I found a lot of fun ideas here!
(BONUS: Speaking of downsizing, here is a great guide on how to downsize without moving. If you feel overwhelmed by
clutter, you might find inspiration in here to make your current space better!)
Audrey always has great advice for looking and feeling your best in the clothes you wear. This week she did a whole feature on how to solve common issues with summer clothes, and I thought her thoughts were perfect! I especially loved the ones about the short sleeves that feel like tank tops. I have come to really love little flutter/cap sleeves, not so much because I dislike sleeveless, but more because I feel like it gives them extra class!
