STUDY
‘Tis the season for weddings! If you’re planning nuptials, here are some guidelines to make the party a memorable one. Although, I’d skip the pig roast. (True Embarrassing Family Story: My late grandfather owned a tavern. When I was young, he decided to host a family reunion with–what else?–a pig roast. Long story short, the bar set aflame. The Hamm side sure knows how to party.)

CONSIDER
I don’t know if I could wear the same thing to work every day, but I appreciate the freedom that comes with it.

SMILE
The Mindy Project is one of my not-so-guilty pleasures. Behold, a bit of Mindy wisdom.

SHOP
Gray Malin has sweetened the pot with free framing for a limited time. Your walls are looking a little dull, right?

SIP
Not only do I want to drink this, I want to Instagram it.

SWOON
The Humane Society of Utah partnered with photographer Guinnevere Shuster to take photo booth-style portraits of pups up for adoption, capturing each dog’s quirky personality. It’s been a huge success with a 93.26% placement rate. (Really, click through, the photos are irresistible.)

FITNESS UPDATE
I’ve been sick with a terrible cold for about a week now. The only upside of feeling cruddy and losing my appetite is that I’m officially down 10 pounds since mid-January. The dress I wanted to wear to Dave’s sister’s wedding (today!) finally fits and I’m a lot less insecure about rocking a swimsuit in South Florida next week. I still have another 10 pounds I’d like to shed, but we’ll deal with that after vacation.

It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a weekend.

Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until la Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until late last year when we finally bought a bed, mattress, and a set of sheets. We used some of our own extra bedding (tucking in the generous overhang of our king blankets under the queen-sized mattress) and old bedside lamps from our bedroom: functional, but not quite the charming space I’d envisioned.
 
That started to change when I purchased the Popcorn Grid Coverlet from Schoolhouse — an item I’d been eyeing for years — plus some graphic floral pillows. Then came a bright blue round cushion and the sweetest Teig lamp, both generously gifted by Schoolhouse, and the room finally started to come together.

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.
