It was another gorgeous day for a run in Chicago. The weather forecast shows some clouds and cooler temperatures rolling in later tonight, so I decided to push my training run up to make sure I could have one last outdoor adventure, at least for the time being. There was a definite “spring” in my […]

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, […]
Why I Love Living In The Big City
You all know how much I love Arizona. What I don’t often mention – because I take it for granted – is how much I love living in downtown Chicago. I am not a big city girl by nature. My personality lends itself to quieter, smaller towns, and that is certainly where Bobby and I […]

It’s been a long time coming, and our restaurant of choice is Japonais, which touts itself as contemporary Japanese cuisine and sushi. I’m thrilled. But I need your help. The pre-fixe menu has a lot of great […]

Hustle Up the Hancock
…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 […]
#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 […]
