Weekly Notes | No. 3

Back in September I filmed for my upcoming online course and I am almost finished! It has taken me so long, but I believe the wait will be well worth it!

I'm officially an Instant Pot believer! It lives up to the hype. I will say I was surprised at how long it takes to release the pressure. No one really talks about that part, they just say "it took 3 minutes to cook chicken!" instead of adding the part that it takes 10-15 minutes to release the pressure before you can open the lid. Still, it is crazy fast - but just a little note to add in extra time!

Have you watched the documentary Finding Vivian Maier on Netflix? I highly recommend it, it is such an interesting story. Since watching it, we even bought her book.

This post by Sarah about predicted paint colors for 2018 was very insightful. As someone who has made many paint color mistakes, I appreciate this post so much!

The holidays may be over but there is never a bad time to shop small. I made this list of where you can shop small that you can keep referring back to when looking for the perfect gift!

Did you catch my post on how to make your first 100 sales on Etsy? I'll be starting a challenge soon for this, so make sure you're signed up for my Etsy tips newsletter!

Jordan and I celebrated 3 years of marriage this past week! How did that happen so fast?!

A verse that I read this week that I've been thinking about: "Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that." -Ephesians 5:1-2 Message Translation.
