Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

 


This has been quite a week! We started the week on vacation and ended it with lots of work and some other adventures that will someday make it to the blog. I’m writing this to you late on Friday night, and both Lexi and Ryan are asleep next to me. I think we may be worn out!

Hope you have had a good week, and here are some fun things for you to check out if you have the time today!

We are in the throes of Christmas, but right behind that will be a brand-new year. If you’re already starting to think about plans for 2026, glance through this post. It’s not written from any kind of faith-based perspective, so there are some things that I would tweak to include the Lord in the decisions, but I think it has some good suggestions anyway!

Don’t you just love the idea of a Christmas cookie box? I love this lineup of recipes for a cute gift box of homemade Christmas cookies! Or maybe you like this grouping better? It’s from Bakerella…fun fact: I interviewed her when I worked at WBCL!

Remember how I told you I like imagining how people live full-time in small spaces? This post shared 10 layouts of apartments similar in size to the suite we stayed in for our anniversary. It was fun to read! Could you do it?? 500 square feet??

I love a photo booth, don’t you? I never see them anymore, but I loved reading this story about a couple that documented their own love story in a photo booth and then opened one of their own! This is so fun!

One of my 50 Before 50 items is to work on my jewelry capsule. I got the idea from a blog post I read, and I’ve been working on coming up with ideas of what I want to have in my capsule. I’m leaning toward a pearl-oriented capsule, which is a longer story for another day. But I did find this article the other day with some fascinating facts about pearls. I knew…well, none of these things! Did you?

It had been about…six??...years since I updated my “about us” page on the blog, so I did that this week. Check it out!
