Right now, I’m coveting:

  • A coat of glossy turquoise painted on a ceiling
  • A simple shift in a punchy hue
  • This colorful cluster of gems
  • A gilded lily candle holder 
  • Flamingo glasses that are motivating enough to brave the crowd at Ikea (thanks to Laura Bear’s post!)
  • Updating tuxedo pants with a floral lace stripe
  • A turquoise statement necklace

Remember the pineapple stirrers from last week’s post? They’re currently part of C. Wonder’s flash sale and available for $19.99.

It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for: a brief recap of our Floridian vacation. I can never get enough oceanside lounging, especially when seashells are abound.

Florida 2012

The best place for shells was definitely along the rocky shore of the Blowing Rocks Preserve in Jupiter.

Florida 2012

Why, yes, I am holding a bag of shells. There are just a few photos of me actually looking up to appreciate the scenery. I was happier with my nose in the sand.

Florida 2012

Dave ventured much further out than I did.

One final glimpse of the preserve before we continued on.

Florida 2012

Just south of the nature preserve was Palm Beach a.k.a. the first place I’ve ever felt poor. And yet, within 20 minutes of walking along Worth Avenue, we ducked into the Sunglass Hut and spent around $400 in the matter of minutes on two new pairs of shades.

Florida 2012

Although, I’m not the one with rich blood in the relationship. My white Coach aviators only cost $130.

Florida 2012

As expected, we spent plenty of time relaxing by the hotel pool (pictured) and the Atlantic.

The beach entrance at the corner of A1A and Las Olas.

The view is almost enough to convince me to move here – as long as my house is within a reasonable distance from the ocean.

Florida 2012

I spent entirely too much time watching the sandpipers dart in and out of the surf. They were just as excitable as children.

Florida 2012

A piece of coral that washed up on shore.

One of the most interesting attractions in Fort Lauderdale is the Bonnet House Museum.

Florida 2012

Most of the lizards were camera shy, but Dave was able to get a close up of him.

Florida 2012

We went to Flamingo Gardens in Davie where I appropriately wore the flamingo-print skirt Dave gave me for Christmas. Here, I’m befriending an ibis.

Florida 2012

And, of course, Florida’s main attraction.

Unpacking our souvenirs from Florida left me longing for languid summer days, sipping on drinks adorned with flamingo swizzle sticks…

Our vacation to Fort Lauderdale was everything I hoped it would be: lounging in the sun, exploring nearby cities and enjoying oceanside cocktails. While there are still bags to unpack and photos to upload, I couldn’t wait to share a few snapshots from the trip.

  1. Watching planes at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport
  2. Coach aviators as a Palm Beach souvenir and my favorite pastime: collecting shells
  3. A bit of relaxation in Hollywood Beach
  4. An overpriced lunch at the Rustic Inn Crabhouse for their garlic crabs (a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun)
  5. Rocky shores of the Blowing Rocks Preserve near Jupiter 
  6. The cutest flamingo at Flamingo Gardens (har har) 
  7. Two adventurous flamingos – the rest of the flock stayed away from the tourists
  8. The courtyard oasis at our hotel: The Cocobelle Resort 
  9. The hotel’s vintage key fob

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!
