…and what a hustle it was! A big thank you to everyone who provided tips, advice and well wishes on yesterday’s post. Our journey up 94 stories was truly an adventure, and I’m happy to say that not only did we make it – we can’t wait to do it again! We arrived at Hustle […]

What Was I Thinking?
Today I am going to be running as fast as I can up this 100-story structure. That’s right. I am hustling. Up the Hancock. For charity, which is about the only sane part! What was I thinking? 😉 I think I was thinking it would be a lot of fun and I’m sure by the […]
Al Forno
Al forno is an Italian phrase that describes something that is at or from the oven. I think Presidents’ Day banana bread fits that description quite nicely. 🙂 Bobby has been requesting that our overripe bananas be put to good use for weeks now. In honor of his day off yesterday, I whipped up a […]
Look, Ma!
Two hands! We’ve come a long a way from our tandem bike accident during our honeymoon in November. It may have taken 12 weeks, but Bobby’s doctor finally gave the “OK” yesterday to remove the bright blue cast that had become a comfortable part of our lives. Only joking, of course. Bobby couldn’t WAIT to […]
Traveling Pans, Healthy Hearts

Heart healthy, […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I can’t help but post this picture. It’s my very favorite. Hope that you all have a wonderful Monday! Find something to smile about whether it’s the snow melting (thank you), a particularly good workout or an extremely delicious piece of dark chocolate. 🙂 Bobby and I will be eating at one of our favorite […]
Green + Gold: The Super Bowl Champions Soup
I know it’s Wednesday, but my euphoria is still lingering. The Packers won the Super Bowl!!!!!!!! It was an amazing weekend. The game was certainly a thriller and, as always, I enjoyed watching the commercials. There were a few that I wasn’t a fan of (er…Groupon) but a lot that I really appreciated. I made […]
#SnOMG + My Accent Vlog
Happy Groundhog’s Day! I can’t even justly describe how crazy last night was here in Chicago! We had everything from 50-60 mph winds to “thundersnow,” which means exactly what you’d think it does – thunder and lightning when all you can see out your window is a blur of white flakes. The big storm has […]
