Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

 


                Good morning, friends! Ryan and I are fresh off a wedding date, and we had the best time. We aren’t in a season of life where we go to a ton of weddings, so it feels extra special to get to witness one. I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow, but in the meantime, enjoy some links for your Saturday!

Am I the last one on earth to hear of these highlighters? I saw them featured in an Instagram post and was completely fascinated. They “stack” so you can highlight over a previously highlighted area and still see the new color! Maybe you all have known about these for years, but they were new to me!

I’ve shared stories before about the Antique Candle Company, and this is another of those stories! I love hearing how great ideas came to be, and this tribute to Brittany’s mom shares the story behind one of the candle scents and the joy of her mom being part of her business ventures. If you need a feel-good story today, this is it!

I shout a hearty YES!!!! To everything Yvonne said in this piece. Our homes are indeed reflections of our story, and that is my highest goal in putting our own home together. I want everything within (and outside) our walls to reflect who we are, how we live, where we have been, and who we hope to become. I am, as time goes by, less and less a fan of things that are trendy or fillers and more and more a fan of story pieces. If you came to our home, I could walk you around and tell you the story of almost everything in this place. She explains it so beautifully, and after reading her words, I think I may forever call our house a storied home.

It can be tempting to wonder if God is actively doing anything in our lives or world. He is, but it can be easy to fall into the thinking that He isn’t. I appreciated Scotty’s reminder of specific things we know (from Scripture!) God is doing right now! Maybe these words will encourage your heart today.

When wide-leg pants became the in-thing again, I was sad for two reasons. The biggest reason is that while I’m not confident about much of anything on my body (lifelong struggle), my legs are actually one area that I like because I do have good calves! Burying them in excess material seemed like a lose-lose to me. Also, it felt to me like wide-leg pants would make everything else look bigger than it might actually be. Apparently this is a common problem, because Audrey wrote this whole guide on how to find the right shirt to work with wide-leg jeans (or pants in general). Helpful info in here if this is a struggle for you, too!

Lisa’s blog is a treat for the eyes. She writes about recipes and home projects – but it’s her photography that drew me in. She has a unique style that is warm and inviting, and I had as much fun looking at the photos in her posts as I did reading her words! (Her “about me” paragraph is also unique and one of the best I’ve read in a while.)
