It’s been one week since our big
snowstorm hit, and I have to tell you, it’s been a joy to have the flexibility
to work most of my week from home. Loved it! Whether you are stir crazy or
happy to be hunkered down on these cold days, I hope you have a good Saturday.
Here are some fun finds for you on this chilly Saturday!
I am sure
that somewhere along the way, I’ve shared a post like this one, but even if I have, it bears
repeating. I’m noticing a deep return to nostalgia, and if you fall into that
category, you might need some ideas for some good, old-fashioned, slow-living
hobbies. You know…things that don’t require the digital world? If you want
something fun to explore, check out the ideas here and try something new in
2026!
Yes, I know Christmas was over a month ago, but in my opinion, it’s never too late for a good Christmas season story. Earlier this month, KariAnne from Thistlewood Farms released the story of this year’s handmade Christmas gift. Every year, her family makes gifts, and every year, she tells the story of the best handmade gift. The gifts themselves are always really neat, but the stories that go with them are even better. I loved the sentiment behind the one from this year!
February arrives tomorrow, so my mind is busy thinking of all the little decorative touches to add to the house leading up to Valentine’s Day. I don’t love to go crazy with red and pink, so I really love Kate’s ideas for neutral decorations that add joy without being too over the top! The thing I love about finding these sorts of ideas is that it helps me know what to look for at thrift store throughout the year. I can slowly modify our collection of decorations if I have a color palette in mind!
Oh this piece by Ann Voskamp is a GOOD
ONE. You know,
friends, I think sometimes the grownups need a good talking-to, in the style of
our childhood. I shared a link a few weeks ago about a pastor who challenged
his church to bring themselves up to maturity. This is a lesson in that same vein,
and I urge you to not just read it, but to take it to heart. We CAN do hard
things and we SHOULD do hard things. Let’s not be stagnant in our maturity!
Even
with layers in the mix, for some reason I struggle with winter outfits at
times. Once I construct an outfit, I can repeat it, but mixing and
matching new options doesn’t always go seamlessly for me. If the same is true
for you, read Katie’s post about winter outfit inspiration. I
bet you’ll find something you can replicate with what you own!
This house is no longer on the market, but you have to look at the pictures! Can you imagine owning a lighthouse on an island?? It is just beautiful. All the rocks…the beautiful view…WOW! (Could you do it? Live on a private island?)
