A Wisconsin New Year

December 28, 2015 by jessica 23 Comments

NYE-1

I can’t believe 2016 is just a few days away! The dawn of a new year means an onslaught of resolutions and one last chance to dress up before the winter doldrums set in. I’m linking up with five other ladies today to share what we’re planning to wear on Dec. 31 or, in my case, what we would wear if we we were going out!

You know how much I love short swing dresses and flats, so it’s no surprise that I’d stick with my favorites for a night out with just a few favorite accessories: a quirky bag, statement earrings, and a cuff. However, I wish I had donned a major necklace. The neckline seems too bare for the year’s most glamorous night. (If only this was in my budget…) When the big night rolls around, though, this dress will remain snug in my closet. We’re visiting my parents in Northern Wisconsin over the weekend where I feel overdressed in anything more than jeans and a sweater! (You can expect some pretty great Snapchats of the glory of this bizarre Northwoods bar if you follow me at bedknobsbaubles.)

A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

The rest of the shower tile will be installed on Monday and then they’ll starting laying the floor tile. I can’t wait!
