Weekly Roundup

I’ve stared at this living room for well over an hour. I can’t get over that wall color paired with that blue and green and white!

“Today’s pajamas will be the clothes for the next two days.” No words have ever been truer!

I hope you read my blog post yesterday. I enjoyed writing it and really hope I was able to share insight into other ways to consider shopping consciously.

Now that our range is installed, I finally bought a kitchen item that I’m amazed I haven’t owned until now.

If you are moving heavy things with anything other than this, you’re missing out.

A few people have recommended the I watch the movie, Kiss The Ground. But I take issue with the lack of representation and the scenes of white saviorism. You can learn more about that in the comments of this post. Instead, I’ll be watching this film about regenerative agriculture.

This updated 1907 house is so so pretty.

A three-minute video on policing in the US. A great intro to share with folks new to the idea of defunding the police or those not familiar with the history of policing.

I’ve almost completed my ballot and can’t wait to get it submitted. I always rely on endorsements from trusted organizations to make my decisions. But this year, I’ve teamed up with friends to do “voting parties” where we each research ballot measures and then present the measures. It’s a fun way to fill out the ballot! You can do this socially distant or virtually.
