Good morning to you from a busy Saturday here in
Shafferland! We have much to tend to throughout this day, so although it won’t
be a lazy, jammies-and-couch kind of day, we are excited for all that the day
holds. If you do get a jammies-and-couch kind of day, here are some fun
things for you to explore while you rest!
A little over a year after Ryan and I were
married, we took a week of staycation, right in the middle of the winter. It
was so much fun. We had the best time sleeping in, watching movies, and
visiting places near home. I’m actually not sure why we haven’t done more
staycations along the way. Have you ever tried one? Here are some ideas if you want to start! (BONUS: Here is our recap of our staycation from that week so many years ago!)
You know I’m always fascinated by small living. This itty bitty apartment in New York City is so cute. I love what the renter
has done with it…but I am not sure if I could live quite this small! Could you?
(BONUS: I thought this article was so sweet. It’s about a family who worked hard to make an
assisted living apartment cozy for their mom after she suffered a stroke. I
love what they did with it!)
Look at this historic cabin for sale in Indiana! It was built in 1811, which was right
before Indiana became a state. (How cool!) While some things have been updates,
I love the preservation of the original pieces throughout it. Oh the stories this
place could tell…
I have so many friends going through hard stuff
right now. Real, deep, gut-wrenching hard. If you are too, or if you know
someone who is, read Robin’s words. It’s
an analogy I haven’t heard before, and it sure doesn’t make the hard time any
easier, but it might bring a comfort to the soul.
If you are a fan of sweet tea, and you have not
yet taken a road trip to the Birthplace of Sweet Tea…what are you waiting for? I feel like anyplace that holds that
title would have to be a charming place to live, wouldn’t you think? I mean, how
could you be cranky when you live in the Birthplace of Sweet Tea? (BONUS: Looks
like I could stay in a treehouse
in Summerville if we visited!)
This popped up on my Instagram feed this week, and I thought it was interesting/clever/unusual all rolled into one. A professional nanny to tend to kids during weddings…thoughts on that? I know some people want a kid-free wedding, and others want kid-filled weddings. What would you do?

Love the nyc apartment and the cabin! Our daughter just moved to nyc a few weeks ago, and her living space is even smaller! She's thriving though! My perspective on kiddos at weddings is yes, have them be a part of it! Weddings are about traditions, family, friends, fun, and it exemplifies the value of marriage🙂
Nikki - I always love seeing how small spaces are set up for full time living! I'm so glad she's thriving! And I'm with you on the kids at weddings. We didn't have any at ours, only because I think only one couple there had children, and they ended up having them stay with grandparents so they could do a getaway to Florida. But I love seeing kids in weddings! I do like the idea of having things for them to do (that are fun for them) at a reception if it gets long!
