Weekend Snapshots:

  1. I spent the weekend in northern Wisconsin, helping my parents pack up the house in anticipation of their upcoming move.
  2. A bit of Kate Spade brightened up the mailbox
  3. Each night, my dad and I had a 5 o’clock cocktail: a brandy old fashioned, Wisconsin’s signature drink.
  4. We rediscovered all sorts of treasures, like these earrings that belonged to my grandmother. (We also found a box of vintage ornaments left by the previous homeowner. Jackpot.)
  5. Reveling in spring
  6. Saying goodbye to my childhood home

Dave coaxed me onto a bike last year: my first time riding one in well over a decade. Let’s just say that, yes, you can forget how to ride a bike. And, yes, you’ll ache the next day in places you didn’t know could ache. Despite last year’s rough experience, I’m trying to be optimistic about cycling this year.

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

Florida Souvenirs

…reliving memories through a painting of the Atlantic…

Florida Souvenirs

…and wearing the white aviators I picked up in Palm Beach.
