Life Lately & On the Right Foot

March 25, 2024 by jessica Leave a Comment

Left to right, top to bottom: started a new job at the UW; enjoying an unseasonably warm day downtown; loved the Federico Uribe exhibit at MMoCA; continuing to practice pottery; the lemon bundt cake in What’s for Dessert is perfection; the venue for my last event with my previous employer.

Hello! A lot has happened since I last checked in nearly two months ago. The biggest update is that I accepted an event management job at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I had been with my former employer for nearly 18 years and built the events department from the ground up, so it had been a difficult decision to make. But it’s an exciting change and will allow me to expand my leadership skills within a much larger organization. That said, being a “newbie” again is challenging, but it’ll get easier with time!

The hydrangea-inspired frosting on these cupcakes is too cute.

I can’t get over how much I love the sage-like green of East Fork’s latest release, “Lamb’s Ear.”

If you have outdated tile in your bathroom, this is inspiration to work with it.

After my West Elm curtains shrunk significantly in the wash, I bought these linens drapes as a replacement. I love that they have back tabs instead of just the rod pocket for mounting, which isn’t very common for budget curtains.

Don’t sleep on this linen-blend button-down shirt from Old Navy. This French-terry pullover is also great (bought it in white).

I’ve been enjoying NYT’s latest game, Strands.

I need to start watching Palm Royale, if not just for the outfits.

A colorful and eclectic home tour.

The most charming small towns in each state.

Why limit yourself to just a pop of red? I recently bought this shirt to wear with these shorts. They’re so good together with flat sandals, a woven bag, and a pair of turquoise earrings.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
