I will (hopefully) be drinking butterbeer and visiting Hogwarts castle. Source We are off to Orlando for a trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Celebrating my brother’s graduation, 19th birthday (this Sunday, which also happens to be Father’s Day) and time spent with my husband and family. I. Can’t. WAIT. I’ve never been […]

Restaurant Michael
When my friend Lauren first visited Restaurant Michael, she immediately told me that she would be bringing me there for my birthday. Everything from the food to the final presentation was incredible, she said, which obviously made me all the more excited. Busy schedules resulted in us pushing the date back, but this past Tuesday, […]
Printers Row Lit Fest
First of all, thank you so much for the kind words on our half marathon. You are all amazing and really helped me keep the race in perspective. I’ve spent the past couple of days foam rolling and stretching like crazy and am happy to report that the soreness is nearly gone. Now the real […]
North Shore Half Marathon

Eye-yi-yi
I met up with my friend Lauren for dinner on Monday night. Our original plan was to try out Wilde & Greene, a natural market and restaurant up in Skokie at the Old Orchard mall. We walked around for a bit and while it looked nice, there was nothing that really grabbed our eye. So […]
Fairy Tale With A Twist
What a great weekend! It went by way too fast, but there was a lot of fun and good food involved, so no complaints here. Backing up to Friday, I wanted to share the delicious result of a catch up lunch with my friend Becky. The two of us played on the golf team together in […]
National Donut Day + #PhotoADayJune
Last week it was National Wine Day. Now we’ve got donuts on the brain. Thanks to Meghann for alerting me to this very important holiday. You see, there is a certain someone who likes donuts, and he likes them quite a lot. I’m not going to name any names but… You get the picture. 😉 […]
