I loved hearing all of your stories about New York! Keep ’em coming! Our first day was definitely packed with activity, but Friday promised to be just as exciting. It began early with a train ride to New Jersey, where I met up with Sam to stash our suitcases at her place before heading back […]
Breakfast
New York, New York: Part One
It was an absolutely picture perfect weekend to be in New York City! Technically, this picture was taken in New Jersey, but more on that later. 🙂 I’ve decided to divide our trip into three installments, in order to capture as much of the Big Apple as possible. It was truly a jam-packed, fun-filled trip! […]
In The Circle, On The Square
Thank you all for the anniversary wishes! Reading them made the day even more special. 🙂 During our drive to the Grand Canyon, we made a pit stop in Flagstaff for lunch. Neither of us had ever been to the city, but having heard good things (it’s one of the most walkable cities, for starters) […]
On Wisconsin + Happy Endings

Blueberry Bagel Breakfast
Yesterday a giraffe stuck his tongue out at me. I’d call that the mark of a good weekend. 🙂 This morning, I followed up a good weekend with a delicious, “Welcome to Monday” breakfast. I received these new Thomas’ Blueberry Bagel Thins as a free sample and couldn’t wait to try them. I was already […]
Draco Malfoy + Scones
Guess who? You may not recognize him without the white blonde hair that has become his character’s trademark, but the actor pictured above is none other than Tom Felton, who plays not-quite-Voldemort-evil villain Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies! Jill and I had the opportunity to attend a taping of Windy City LIVE! on […]
SamSlam
The jam-packed summer adventures continue! This weekend, my fantastic friend Sam and her boyfriend, Alex, came into town for a Windy City reunion. Sam got in late Thursday night — just in time for the midnight premiere of Harry Potter! I wore my Gryffindor scarf for the occasion. 🙂 Jill, Sam and I were thrilled […]
Memorable Meals: Part One
Happy Memorial Day! I hope you had a wonderful long weekend celebrating with friends and family, as well as honoring those who serve our country. In Chicago, we enjoyed one glorious day of sunshine and warmth. Finally. Happy to be hanging with my hubby. 🙂 Jill invited us over for a wonderful brunch this morning […]
