WEEKDAY MUSINGS

EATING // All the Alaska King Salmon. Our neighbor's buddy fishes in Alaska part of the year and hooked us up with 20 lbs at less than $10/pound. We love Ina's salmon with melting tomatoes. Any other recs out there?

HOME*WORK // Ugh. A couple of weekends ago, we decided one small wall in our family room should match our dark grey paneled accent wall for a full effect in the space. It seemed like a pretty straightforward job but a small miscommunication led our painter to give us wrong color information. Now we have a BLACK HOLE and it's killing my sunshine - please send help!

A weekday cheers (and Gray Malin's genius!)

CRUSHING ON // Jacey Duprie's "modern mariniere" collaboration with Summersalt. We're headed to Palm Springs for our annual pilgrimage and I'm 100% certain I need the polka dot triangle bikini with lace-up bottoms. I haven't worn a two-piece in at least 5 years but with this suit, I'm ready to bare it all. Now just restock ASAP, please!

READING // When my bestie Paulo recommends anything, I hop to it. So when he said he loved Red, White and Royal Blue, I immediately downloaded the book on Audible and took it on the road with me across the state for a long work road trip. I was happy to learn it's the perfect book for getting in the Valentine AND election spirit. It also has some very DC scenarios that pulled on my heartstrings and made me a bit nostalgic. This romcom did not disappoint,

THANKFUL FOR // Snow (and dare I say a consistent temperature drop?!) We've witnessed extreme highs and lows here in Montana the last few months. This past weekend it was sunny and 50 degrees but less than 24 hours later we had over six inches of snow. I'm not a scientist but I know that if this temperature ping-pong continues, it does not bode well for summer. No snow results in fires, smokey skies and I just can't!

THINKING ABOUT // Bailing on The Bachelor, because I can't think about SOTU or the impeachment vote today. Yes, Pilot Pete is adorable but he's one lost puppy and the girls seem too extra this season. But it's also one of those car crash scenarios and I can't look away. I mean, who bumps his head while getting into a golf cart and smashes a glass to his forehead? Apparently lovesick Peter Weber. Are you tuning in this season? How you feelin' about ol' Pete?

WATCHING // Netflix's The Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez. You guys! If you love thrillers and true crime, this documentary is for you! It's got a real Serial vibe with recorded interviews from prison and makes you sympathize with the complicated Patriot footballer despite knowing the evidence. I just could not stop watching. But if that's not your jam... The GoopLab with Gwyneth is fascinating. It's definitely more Goop indoctrination but I'm here for it. 

WEARING // I'm a goal digger and with Palm Springs two and half months away, I'm laser focussed on crossing off #91 (working out five times a week for six weeks) on my #101in1001 list. I'm generally "in shape" but I'd love to be fully toned. What's your favorite workout gear? This girl is ready to sweat!

The New #101in1001

It's a new year and a new 101 in 1001 list is in order. This is my third list of 101 things I'd like to accomplish in the next 1001 days. For me, 1001 days (2.75 years) is a happy medium between writing a to do list and keeping a bucket list. It's my way of dreaming big and making regular progress toward meeting those longer term goals. So here goes!

I've already crossed off a few items on my list, follow along HERE. And if you're curious about what's been on my list before... Check out my last list HERE.

Winter Edit '20

Rebecca de Ravenel Bow Earrings // The holidays may be over but I love these festive bows.

Mochi Kid PJs // I'm always on the hunt for more PJs for H and these cuties are tops.

Wicker Wings Mini Kuai Bag // I imagine carrying this sweet cross-body someplace in the tropics.

Olio E Osso Balm // This "french melon" balm is on regular rotation.

Most Modest Clouds // Perhaps this dreamy art should don our current vacant walls?

Ferm Living Ripple Drink Glasses // This glassware set can handle water or cocktails!

Rove Concepts Womb Chair // One of my favorite purchases for our house, this chair is a comfortable thrown for my inner-queen.

Rocket LED Lamp // Our little rocket man would sure love this addition to his room.

Manebi Sandals with Knot // A taste of flare, these sandals are divine and on MAJOR SALE. Snag a pair before they're gone... you won't regret it!

The Man Behind the Maps // I have a sneaky suspicion this might be the next book atop our coffee table.

P.S. The great PhotoBucket crash of 2020 is finally over... (crossing my fingers and toes)! I'm still anxious but let's get back to regular programming shall we?! I hope you've missed this bright spot on the Interweb!
