Good morning, friends! I hope this month has brought good
moments for you. Maybe some of them were wrapped in some hard circumstances,
but even if that’s been true for you, I hope you’ve seen the goodness of God in
some way!
We have
had a full, full month, and September promises to be more of the same. We are
looking forward to it! To round out the month, here are some fun finds for you.
September is ALMOST here, so if you’re looking
for some purpose and intention to fill your month, here’s a whole list of it, right here. Our September calendar is fairly full
already, and our days are filled with much purpose, but I have often loved
looking at lists just like this one to help me find some purposeful direction
for a stretch of time. From things to do around the house to days to celebrate,
there’s inspiration for everyone! (BONUS: Here’s
a fall “slow-living” list if you need to catch your breath…)
You know of my undying love for pictures and
memories, so I loved this idea from the “Date Your Spouse” website – formerly known as the Dating
Divas. Inspired by the back-to-school season, this project is an ABC themed
scrapbook of memories from your life together. Date nights, special events,
etc. Not gonna lie…despite the million things I’m supposed to be doing right
now, I’m intrigued to think my way through this!! There’s a free download on
the post if you want to make a paper version of this book, but you could also
make it digitally!
I am a huge advocate of rest. I’m sure it
probably doesn’t seem like it when you read our adventures. Aren’t we on the go
all the time? Indeed, we are not, and I am more adamant now than ever about
protecting our time. Rest matters. And if you need a guilt-free reminder of why
that is true, read these words.
This “Lost in Textlation” piece intrigued me! Aside from LOL, which I use frequently,
I am wildly resistant to abbreviations/acronyms. It’s probably the writer in
me. WRITE THE WHOLE WORD. Back in the day, when instant messages were all the
interoffice rage, I remember getting so offended by coworkers who thanked me
for my help with tx or ty. But I confess, in this article, I
didn’t know what most of them meant. Guess if you’re not planning to use them,
you don’t have to know them. (Sometime Ryan and I say “ILYSM” to each other
just because we both know it gets on my nerves. It’s I love you so much
if you didn’t know that one. And to clarify, I DO love him so much. But I
prefer to tell him in whole words.) Anyway. How many did you know?
It’s been waaaaaay too hot here to even think
about fires and s’mores – at least for me. But the cooler temps this week have
put me in the mood for a good fire pit and s’more night. We haven’t yet found a
fire pit, though, so that puts a damper on things. Meanwhile, I can try this version of a s’more!! (BONUS: Also…how many versions of s’mores are
there, actually? Dip, pops, bark,
granola,
oatmeal,
puppy chow…I think you get
the idea.)
I’m not ready to decorate for fall just yet…maybe in another week or so. But I am ready to start being inspired for fall décor! And this post with blue and white tables for fall was perfect for me. Our dining room is blue and white, through and through, and I’m always looking for ways to make the season fit with that blue and white feel. If I can’t find an idea here, I might be in trouble!
