On the Right Foot: Cheesecake for Two, Psychology of Porches, A Must-Have Bag & More!

July 20, 2020 by jessica Leave a Comment

I’ve been toying with the idea of moving these round-up posts to Mondays for a couple of reasons: (1) I do most of my reading over the weekend so I have fresh finds to share once the week begins and (2) isn’t it nice to start the week off on, well, the right foot with a mix of interesting reads, great products, and things to make your Monday a bit brighter? I think so!

Rekindle passion for your city.

A history of porches and the psychology behind designing them.

I just snagged this Kate Spade face mask. It’s now on backorder, but it’s worth adding to cart since we all know we’ll be wearing masks throughout the year. It’s breathable, has adjustable loops, and 100% of net profits support crisis counseling.

Knowing I’m going to have too many leftovers often keeps me from baking, which is why I’m all for this small-batch cheesecake recipe.

The lime-green leopard print on this top ($30) reminds me of Lisa Frank in the best way possible.

You can go on a virtual tour of the tomb of Pharaoh Ramses VI. The carvings and reliefs are more colorful and well preserved than I expected!

I prefer athletic skorts for biking and just added this one to my wardrobe. I adore the flirty, full a-line shape of the skirt portion.

Ashley shared the free software she uses to plan home renovations.

It’s entirely too early to start talking fall and winter, but it’s a good time to snag some under-$30 plaid blankets to tuck away!

A charming collection of stories from innkeepers.

How the director of The Baby-Sitters Club is reinventing the series for a new generation. (I can’t wait to watch it! I just need to get caught up on Dead to Me first!) Bonus: designing Claudia’s wardrobe.

Swap potatoes for chickpeas and mayo for Greek yogurt to turn a summer picnic staple into a healthier alternative.

This bamboo beaded bag is so good.

Is video dating here to stay?

A few moments from the weekend. A few moments from the weekend.
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!

This renovation sure had its moments of frustratio This renovation sure had its moments of frustration, but I’m blissfully heading toward “renovation amnesia” as @em_henderson calls it in her new book. 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!
