WEEKEND MEANDERINGS
Good morning and a happy Saturday to you! It’s time for weekend meandering with Kim and Juliet, our weekly series where we share all of the things that piqued our interest and caught our eye over the past week.
It has been a great week. The weather has been beautiful. And we celebrated 4 birthdays this week; my husband, mom, niece and grandson. Unfortunately we were not able to celebrate together but maybe next year.
This week I took a little break from Instagram and it’s been nice. I get so tired of all of the sponsored posts and not seeing the people that I follow. Not to mention that it is frustrating because hardly anyone that follows me sees my stuff either. Does anyone else feel frustrated with Instagram or it is just me?
How was your week? What are your plans for the weekend?
Ok, let’s meander!
One to Follow~The Simple Luxurious Life
Shannon Ables is both a Francophile and an Anglophile, she is a former teacher, blogger, author of three books, podcaster and creator of an incredible community.
What is the Simply Luxurious Life?
- If you are seeking a life to savor every single day — the work days, the weekends, the ‘me’ days, the travel days, the Wednesdays, the Mondays, every single day—then this is the blog for you.
- If you are seeking deep true contentment, a steady calm within that grounds you and deepens your appreciation for the present moment, this is the blog for you.
- If you are struggling to figure out which one of your many strengths to tap into along the journey to, reach their full potential, then this is the blog for you.
- If you appreciate the importance of staying apprised of current events and knowing past events in full context, yet understand balance regarding intake of information must be found to suit your temperament and well-being, this is the blog for you.
- If you find peace with simplicity, yet admit freely a home with an overflowing bookshelf (or two) is not clutter but rather a necessity, then this is the blog for you.
- If your peace of mind acknowledges the necessity of being a critical thinker, someone who while staying informed, acknowledges the need to rather than choose a side, choose the right question to ask and keep an open mind while listening, then this is the blog for you.
- If eating well includes enjoying meals that are both healthy and delicious, then this is the blog for you.
- If growing your own flowers and vegetables remains a dream, and an herb garden too, yet you are determined to figure out how to become a gardener, even if you don’t have much (if any) diggable land, yet you appreciate the seasonality and sustainability of growing what you can where you are, then this is the blog for you.

Jumpstart Your Holiday Decor with H&M
I’m not sure if everyone is quite ready for Christmas decor just yet. If you are not, then jump ahead to the links.
Over the last few years I have missed the boat and been diaapointed because the things I liked sold out This year I decided to get a head start on my window shopping. It’s never too early to start thinking about the holidays and getting ahead so that you can enjoy the season.
Speaking of Christmas, how cute is this fair isle sweater? And this one too.
Have you shopped the Gingerbread Shop? I love every whimsical piece.
Have you purchased anything from the Amazon early Prime Days? If you found a good deal I would love to hear about it.
