One of the Instagrammers I love to follow is getting married
TODAY, and I am probably way more excited about this wedding than I should be,
given that I’ve never met her. But her story is one of loss, deep grief, and
God’s beautiful redemption, so I am eagerly awaiting the first glimpse of
wedding joy!
I’ll be
watching for pictures and prepping for company, and while I do that, I found
some fun little things for you to enjoy! Here you go!
I’ve never tried to keep a mum alive inside
before – have you? I’ve had them outside our house every year, but never
inside. Yvonne teaches how to care for them inside so they last the whole season!
You know how I love to look at houses for sale?
Before I loved to do that, I loved looking at house plans. I used to purchase
books of house plans (usually at garage sales) and mark my favorite ones. Or I
would tear plans out of magazines and keep them in a file folder. (This was
life before Pinterest, in case you’re wondering.) I don’t look at them as often
anymore, but the other day I landed on a website that had a tab of house plans, and I
couldn’t help clicking over to it. It amuses me that the Bekah of old always
picked the biggest plans with the most square footage, because on this page, my
favorite was Juniper Lane – the smallest one of all. (Though I did wish it had
a garage.) Which one would you pick??
You know how Ryan and I have the travel map? The
one where we print a picture from each state we visit? I saw this version of it this week – using watercolor pictures to fill the map. So
unique! (I actually have that app, which is incredible, since I’m generally not
an app-loving person. The app does work, though super detailed pictures don’t
translate well.)
These makeup-remover cloths intrigue me. I read about them on a blog, and the
blogger says she uses them and loves them. I’m usually a bit skeptical, in case
such a recommendation is just an influencer at work, but the reviews on this
are also pretty high, so they might be worth a try. The price is good! BONUS:
Speaking of things I’ve not seen before that intrigue me? These stove top covers that are fabric on top and silicone/heat resistant on the
back. I saw one at Swiss Village and loved it! Ryan’s mom had a wooden cover for
her stovetop, and it was beautiful, but it was huge, and when she needed to use
the stovetop, she had to find a place to put the big board. This cover is much
more easily stashed away when the stove is in use!
I do love a good party mix, but I never make it
– mostly because I would taste test it to the tune of eating the entire mix. 😊
I ran across this recipe this week and thought it sounded so intriguing, because while it has
the traditional ranch flavor, it also incorporates sweetness.
I love advent calendars – especially the kind you can get and keep forever, refilling yourself each year. But I do have to say that thisOlive and June mani-inspired advent calendar may be one of the best prefilled ones I have ever seen in my life! I’m probably too frugal to buy it for myself, but I sure do think it’s fun!
