Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

 


                Good morning! As we wrap up the month of June (and prepare for a heat wave here in Indiana) I’m looking forward to my annual thankfulness-fest for the inventor of the air conditioner. And a perfect thing to do whilst soaking up the cold air? READ!! Here are some pages to get you started…

Independence Day is coming soon, so it felt appropriate to share an apple pie recipe. After all, they say nothing is more American than apple pie! To be fair, I haven’t made this recipe, but the star topping is ADORABLE. If you need a new recipe to try for a cookout (or just for you), this one is (per KariAnne) a winner!

Even though I’m not a runner, I love a good story about perseverance in a race, and this is one of the best I’ve read. Tyler is hospitalized for leukemia treatments and had to miss running the Indy Mini. So he walked laps in the hospital hallway to equal the distance of the Mini! So inspiring! (I also love it that the race organization gave him a medal and swag since he had to miss the actual race.)

Summer may have just begun in an official capacity on the calendar, we are deep into summer in all the ways that tend to make up summer. If you are like me and summer tends to be a theme-less décor season in your home, check out Laura’s suggestions for a summer spruce-up. Her suggestions are not overly theme-y, but they might bring some fresh, pretty life to the rooms where you live!

I’m about 100 days away from finishing up a year with The Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble (studying with a friend from church) but I also saw that Darlene Schacht just released a 52 week Bible reading plan book. I have not read it yet (her book, not the Bible) but I have done many of her Bible studies and have loved them. Even taught two of them this past year!

I do love a good maxi dress. I can’t bring myself to wear midi dresses because they remind me far too much of my childhood, so it has to be ankle or knee length for me. I love so many dresses right now that are just the wrong length for me, but this one is adorable. I confess I would be unlikely to pay this much for a dress, because I’m too cheap, but it sure is pretty.

I’ve posted a link before (sometime, somewhere…) about naming your home. But this post explains how to take that a step further and create a logo for your home! Boy, if that doesn’t make you feel fancy about where you live, I’m not sure what would. Perhaps we need to logo our own home… 😉
