The Weekend Guide

November 18, 2016 by jessica 3 Comments

The Weekend Guide 11.18.16

MAKE
My favorite part of Thanksgiving, next to the stuffing and the pumpkin pie, are the appetizers. This recipe for figs with bacon and chile looks absolutely decadent.

LEARN
As much as I love oversize statement earrings, I don’t wear them very often because of my [probably irrational] fear of becoming an old lady with sagging earlobes. Well, it looks like fillers and anti-aging care might be able to take care of that.

SHOP
Dave is still pushing for a holiday trip somewhere tropical. I’m on the fence mostly because I’m a sucker for tradition, but if he happens to convince me, I’m definitely snagging this swimsuit for the getaway. Even better, it’s part of J.Crew’s weekend sale with 30-40% off holiday-ready items with code FESTIVE.

MEET
Artist Hank Schmidt in der Beek travels to majestic outdoor locations only to paint the pattern on his shirt.

WATCH
If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed to make me smile, it’s a Pixar film.

STOP
Don’t make these common mistakes when cooking your first Thanksgiving dinner. And, if you need inspiration for the menu, head here for a roundup of recipes.

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!
