We enjoyed the Long Grove Strawberry Fest so much last year that we had to make a reprise! A chance to hang out with good friends and indulge in strawberries by the pound? Sign me up! The strawberry baked goods were out in full force, too. Sugar-coated donuts, frosted donuts, chocolate donuts, drizzled donuts…delicious. I […]

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, […]
North Shore Half Marathon
We made it. 13.1 miles!!!!!!!!!!!!! I laughed, I cried (apparently races bring out all sorts of emotions in me), but in the end Bobby and I crossed the finish line and can officially call ourselves North Shore Half Marathoners! We were up bright and early – 5:00 a.m. to be exact – to get ready. […]

Well, I’m not so sure I will be able to just walk around my neighborhood… Source The NATO Summit is here. Don’t get […]

Early Birdies + Birthdays
What a whirlwind weekend it has been! Nonstop action, but all good things. It started with a birthday golf match! Technically I turn 25 on Wednesday, May 9, but Bobby treated me to an awesome early bird present with a tee time on the Chick Evans course Saturday afternoon. We even returned to the scene […]
Snippets
Thanks for all the sweet comments on my blogiversary post. I’m glad you are enjoying the giveaway! I’ve gotten a lot of great book ideas already and am also planning to write a book review for The Hunger Games trilogy this week. Bobby and I had a relatively low-key St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Of course, […]
