Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

 Happy Saturday, friends! This week has been so full, and I will tell you all about it tomorrow. Much of it has been filled with planning, so some of the things I found to share with you today were inspired by my planning-filled week and mind! Enjoy!

Thanksgiving is about a month away (EEK!), and if you’re hosting and overwhelmed by the idea of it, here is a great guide for every part of the day. I remember the first Thanksgiving I hosted. It was COMPLETELY intimidating – and I wasn’t even preparing most of the food! It got easier each time I did it, but if it’s leaving you feeling a bit overwhelmed, hopefully this will help. (BONUS: Here is another take on a Thanksgiving guide, written by a different blogger. More ideas for the win!)

If your heart and mind are holding (in a vice-grip, no less) things you were never meant to hold, I offer you these words from Scotty Smith. They were so timely for me, and I wondered if maybe one of you needed to read them too?

I have not tried this breakfast recipe, but it does look good, it’s healthy, and I would imagine it’s pretty filling. I think I’d use my trusty frozen/cubed sweet potatoes, because I hate cutting up whole sweet potatoes. (BONUS: If you prefer your sweet potatoes for dinner, I think this southwestern stuffed sweet potato recipe looks absolutely amazing.)

I am not even ashamed to admit that I’m ready to decorate for Christmas. I won’t just yet, but the ideas are marinating in my head. 😊 I loved these ideas for kitchen décor. (Such a tricky room for us since it’s a smaller one.)

Megan’s post about color sorting books is the best explanation of this I’ve ever read! A few years ago, I started sorting my nonfiction books by color, and I love how it looks in my office. (I do this in my church office, too.) My fiction books remain categorized by author’s last name to keep series books together. Ryan and I also organize our clothes by color. It’s so pretty in our tiny closet!


This mansion in Fort Wayne hit the market this week. It is huge! There aren’t a ton of pictures online, but you can see them here. I sure wouldn’t want to clean this house, but it is so pretty to look at! (BONUS: One of the Fort Wayne news anchors shared her tour of the house, since they don’t let just anybody come to look at it. Pretty cool!)
