Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

 

                Today is another special day in Shafferland! Thirteen years ago today, Ryan asked me to marry him! What a wonderful surprise he gave me that day, and what a wonderful memory that still makes me smile every time I think of it! I can’t let the day pass without sharing the video for you to enjoy again! 😊

Right after my desert-of-the-heart journey in 2010, I remember buying a couple of sweater dresses that I absolutely loved. (I wore one of them for my very first trip to WBCL…the trip that led to a job there!) The problem with sweater dresses (for me) is that I get way too hot in them, but the two I owned had short sleeves, which made them doable. Walmart has this sweater dress this year (for a good price!) that is actually sleeveless! It caught my eye, so I had to share it.

I ordinarily scroll past sponsored posts, because I don’t always find them to be authentic in content. But this post at the Inspired Room did make me pause. Melissa asked some good questions that I just might circle back to in a post of my own: What do I want Thanksgiving to feel like? What do I want Christmas to look like? These really are good things to ponder – and to ponder early – so the holidays don’t take over. And even though I am not all about the sponsored stuff, she does have some cute things in the post! Take a look!

Need some ideas for healthy fall meals? I found this roundup and thought there were some yummy-looking options in there. Everything from immunity-boosting drinks to meals…all right here! BONUS: I’m also intrigued by this pumpkin cream cheese roll that’s a little on the lighter side!

Remember when Ryan and fixed up Abby the RV? That remains one of our favorite projects we have ever done. I also enjoy seeing other people’s made-over camper projects, and one of the best places to find them is on the Renovated RV website. Some people flip them to sell and others simply sell them when they are moving along…or looking for something bigger for themselves. Anyway, I thought this one was super cute! I have never seen an RV done made over with red accents! BONUS: If red isn’t your thing, this one has much more muted colors – and a whole laundry room! That’s a luxury in camper-land!

If you have roughly 1.6 million burning a hole in your pocket that you’d like to spend you can buy a campground in Indiana. It was a Girl Scout’s camp location and is now up for sale. Lots of land and a pretty sweet commercial kitchen!

I’m not sure about actually HAVING an outdoor party in the winter…at least in Indiana. But I am fascinated by the idea this post outlined. It sure looks pretty, and I guess it’s no different than hanging out on a ski slope, right? (For the record, I don’t hang out on ski slopes, but I know people do.) Thoughts on outdoor winter parties?
