Mini Moments: November 2015

Mini Moments: November 2015

I can’t believe there are only 28 days left of the year! It seems like only yesterday that I penning my 2015 New Year’s resolutions (only to cast them aside shortly after), but I’m thrilled that it’s finally the holiday season. We went to Chicago last month for the opening weekend of the Christkindlmarket, which is becoming one of our favorite annual traditions. It was the perfect way to spend time together before the whirlwind of family and travel consume every weekend of December. Here are a few of my favorite snapshots from November:

  • Picked up a pair of furry ear muffs at Uniqlo. They’re ridiculously large, but they are warm. For $13, they were obviously coming home with me.
  • Stopped at a local antique mall and admired the tinsel trees filled with vintage ornaments.
  • Begged Bacon to move away from my photoshoot location for this post.
  • Kicked off the week with coffee and Julie Vos jewels. I’ve been wearing this necklace and ring on repeat. (Find the book here. The “darling” tray is sold out, but I’m also in love with this one.)
  • Stood 1,353 feet above Chicago at the Willis Tower. (Find my beloved loafers on sale here. They’re still full price here, but in more sizes.)
  • Enjoyed cocktails at Three Dots and a Dash in Chicago. I loved the tiki glasses so much that I had to buy the set to bring home with us. (Now, about that bar cart…)
  • Wore fabulous Miu Miu sunglasses. I borrowed them from Ditto, a subscription service to borrow sunglasses. It normally costs $24 per month, but you can sign up for one month free with code BEDKNOBS. Read more about Ditto’s Endless Eyewear.
  • Spent a fair amount of money on Christmas decorations and ornaments at the Christkindlmarket in Chicago.
  • Geared up for an incredible collaboration with Ben-Amun. Isn’t this Roman coin pendant amazing?

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!
