Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

 

                What a busy week it has been! I feel like I’ve had little time to sit and enjoy online finds, but I did round up a few to share with you. Want to see?

Apparently Winnie the Pooh turns 100 years old this year (!!?!?!) and Susan shared this tablescape that honored that milestone. Confession: I did not grow up on Winnie the Pooh, so I’m not a diehard fan, but I think if I had kids, I would be excited to read the books to them. I don’t see how you can help but love a cuddly bear who loves honey…er…hunny!

I have been having fun reading the archives of the Tolbert Family Blog. Their family of NINE (including some younger kids!) hiked the entire Appalachian Trail together, and I think that is pretty incredible. I’ve enjoyed reading through the posts along the way, and even though I haven’t read them all yet, I’ve really enjoyed them. Could you hike the whole thing with your family? Pretty sure only Ryan would come with me. Ha!

I love decorating with blue and white (feels properly lake-y to me) so I was excited to run across this post that contains a file of blue and white monograms that you can print in either 5x7 or 8x10. Need some affordable art for your house??? Here you go!

Arabah Joy’s words in this post are SO GOOD. If you feel like you are in a frustrating delay of a wasted season right now, and you just want to get to the main event, read her words. God does not waste ANYTHING, and some of the things we might find to be the biggest time-wasters are actually the biggest training grounds.

Katie’s casual summer capsule wardrobe is a winner, I think! I really love the pieces she chose, and she sure got a whole bunch of outfits out of them! I’m impressed. (I both love the freedom of not strictly adhering to a capsule and miss the structure of the daily capsule life. Maybe I’ll do it again some season…if not for a whole year.)

I’m always looking for a good travel itinerary to places we haven’t yet been. Lia and Jeremy released this 3, 4, or 5 day itinerary of New York City, so I’m tucking it away in case we ever get to go. (We aren’t really city people, but I really want to see the 911 museum.) Ironically the 911 museum didn’t make this list, but there are some things on there that wouldn’t really be for us, so we could make a swap. They have lots of suggestions for food and lodging too. It’s fun to read!
