Welcome to the first Saturday Salutes post of the year! We started 2019 with my older daughter getting all four of her wisdom teeth taken out on Wednesday. Very thankful that the procedure went smoothly, and she’s recovering well.
Here are several helpful posts I read this week.
Michelle shares Sacred Stories on Mundane Tables.
Lauren lists 7 Ways to Keep Your Kids Happy and Beat the Winter Blues.
Sarah Joy is one of my favorite Instagrammers to follow, but she also has a blog where she recently shared My Best Farmhouse Style DIY Projects of 2018.
Lara gives us 16 Things Your Teenage Daughter Needs to Hear from You.
I think I need to buy some extra bananas so I can try this Chocolate Banana Bread recipe!
This graphic from Ginger Harrington has tips to help us in the battle against selfishness.
We’re gearing up for our girls to go back to school on Monday. It never feels quite like the new year until we’re back into our regular routine – not that I haven’t enjoyed the break! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
Oooo, I had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out the winter of my senior year, as well! Praying for comfort…
LOVE the 16 Things Your Teenage… I think they apply to sons, as well as daughters. 👍
“Sacred Stories on Mundane Tables” = BEAUTIFUL!!! (& of course love the ebenezer imagery!!!)
Appreciate the prayers!! She spent most of Thursday and Friday resting, but she’s feeling well enough that she’s going to work this afternoon. Guessing she’ll be worn out when she’s done – but she’s getting a little stir crazy here at home 😉
Yes, I loved the ebenezer imagery as well!
We’re getting back into our routine this week, too, with school, piano lessons, ballet, CC, etc. And time on the computer. I’ve enjoyed the last few weeks spending minimal time on the computer. 😉
I enjoyed the thought about the rosewood table. It reminds me of a book I read recently about finding sacred in the mundane.
The winter blues? Ha! My children love winter here because the mosquitoes are gone, and it’s cool enough to play outside. However, those ideas would work well for our summer blues. And I know that you know what I’m talking about!
Yes, we certainly understand those summer blues, too! 🙂
