Weekend Guide

KNOW
Reese Witherspoon is launching a lifestyle brand with Southern influences.

SIP
Cocktail calories add up. Here’s a skinny version of a classic favorite.

SHOP
Need a summer dress for an upcoming event? I have no doubt you’ll find one here. There are over 2,000 options under $150 to choose from. My favorites include a gingham fit-and-flare style (although I’d have it hemmed above my knees), a bright shift with a swingy back (just $64!), and an embroidered tunic dress.

LEARN
1991 marked the beginning of pop music’s turn to rap and hip-hop.

MEET
Anna Jarvis is the woman credited with establishing Mother’s Day, but it wasn’t easy.

ANTICIPATE
Even though The Mindy Project was axed by Fox, there’s a good chance it will have a second life on Hulu. While that’s still up in the air, rest assured that we’ll have at least one more offering from Mindy this year: a new book to be published in September.

IN OTHER NEWS
We’re heading to Indianapolis for Memorial Day weekend. Indy has never been on my must-see list, but we’re driving down to pick up bottles of Upland Brewing Company’s sour release. Is there anything we should add to our itinerary?

    I had no idea about Reese’s line! I probably won’t be able to afford anything, but it’ll be fun to look at, and I hope it does well. I absolutely adore her style.

    Indy recommendations (from a local): tacos at Bakersfield, tour the gardens at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, rent bikes and bike the Monon, cheese curds and beer at Twenty Tap, act like a kid at the BEST children’s museum around, walk the downtown Canal, sip wine at New Day Meadery, and dessert and coffee at Cake Bake Shop. Have a blast! Indy’s a great and welcoming city! 🙂

Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. 

Everyone we met in Philly apologized for their gruff nature, despite no one actually living up to that stereotype. 😂
There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up to motivate you to tackle a list of chores and deep clean the house.
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.
