SMILE
When I’m having a particularly bad day, I’ll spend a few minutes looking at photos of cute animals to perk up. The Daily Otter was a delight to stumble across.

BUY
The windowpane skirt I mentioned in my recent “Budget Update” is finally online.

SNOOZE
Every piece from Iomoi is adorable, but the cocktail monkey sleep mask takes the cake.

DECORATE
I’ve been itching to give our apartment a makeover and the design inspiration from Gray Malin’s home with didn’t help curb that desire! I’ve got my eye on this coffee table (in raw mango), but I’d like to follow Gray’s lead with bright lacquer side tables. (Perhaps a vintage set so I can paint them myself.)

KNOW
Did you sign up for the “Ten Days or Whatever of Kwanzaa” holiday gift from Cards Against Humanity? Did you know that the private island was a real thing? From now on, I will brag about the land I own on Hawaii 2. All square foot of it.

REFINE

FITNESS UPDATE
I thought I’d add my fitness success and struggles to this post as a follow up to this and a way to keep myself accountable. I only exercised three days this week, thanks to a work event, a basketball game, and a happy hour (excuses, excuses). I also let my Weight Watcher obligations slip. Not surprisingly, I only lost .4 pounds this week (2.5 total). On the bright side, I’m down a total of 1.5 inches from my hips in three weeks!

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!

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!
