  • (Art from @lettersfrom4th) // I can do better. A lot of us have realized that “not being racist” is not enough and, as white privileged women and men, we have to take action. *And it goes way beyond a post on social media just during times when this is in the news.* Last night I went to bed reading the book “So You Want To Talk About Race” by Ijeoma Oluo and have a list of several others to read next (see @idealbookshelf), I’ve signed the Justice for George Floyd petition on change.org, texted FLOYD to 55156 to sign another to “demand the officers who killed George Floyd are charged with murder”, and donated to several organizations including the MN Freedom Fund & NAACP Legal Defense Fund which supports racial justice, as well as the family’s GoFundMe. I’ve filled my feed with more and more resourceful and eye-opening accounts like @theconsciouskid and none of this will ever be enough to replace the innocent lives that have been taken. But I vow to continue to take action in being a better ally to the black community and these are small steps in that direction. This is not politics, this is humanity. #justiceforgeorgefloyd #blacklivesmatter
  • Feeling so official with our window AC unit 💯 and great timing because it’s starting to warm up here and, while we love our fan, there’s just nothing like some good ol AC☀️😅talking about our favorite one (we own two different brands and this one is definitely our #1 because of it’s u-shaped design so the window can slide down inside of it) it’s also SO quiet! It’s from @mideaamerica and you can read more about it on the blog 🤍 www.prettyinthepines.com #ad #cooldownwithmidea
  • I finally have some prints on the way to fill these frames ❤️ I decided to fill them with some of my favorite shots from our walks around the city. I also went with colored prints instead of black/white - will I regret it? We’ll find out. 🤞🏻Anyways, I’m loving seeing this room come along. I’ve been trying to invest in things I can see myself having for years and years no matter where we live. For example, we decided to get this dresser for our TV stand because 1) it has amazing storage (you should see what all we keep in here) and 2) we can use this in a future bedroom whenever we have a house again. http://liketk.it/2PItX #liketkit #LTKhome
  • Woke up to these flowers that TJ bought “just because” 🙌🏻 it’s been a glorrrrious weekend taking advantage of this beautiful weather. We even went on a bike ride around the city (and despite no traffic was still naturally stressed most of the time). Forever grateful for the men & women who sacrificed everything for our freedom. 🇺🇸🙏🏻
  • Meals… my favorite time of the day. Time for gathering, bonding, learning and nourishing. An organization that’s been on mind a lot lately, Feeding America, works so hard to get nourishing food to those in need. An incredible rewards program launched this week making it SO simple for you to help make a difference for families struggling with hunger… @pggoodeveryday. Now your everyday purchases can add up in points to automatically be donated to a cause of your choice and so much more! Sharing all about it in my stories and why I signed up. #LetsDoMoreTogether #ad
  • Early morning walk sights ☀️ can’t wait to one day explore the inside and see all of the art. Just read an article that the Met tentatively plans to open mid-August so, until then, we will just have to enjoy staring at the outside of it... which I could spend hours doing. Have you ever visited the Met? I’m working on a post-quarantine city bucket list and this is for sure on it. ☝🏻
