“Hey what? Go Wildcats!” We interrupt this period of relative radio silence on the blog to bring you…the reason for said radio silence on the blog! Yep, it’s a good one. I’ve been baking cinnamon buns! Okay, not really. 🙂 I did make cinnamon buns a few weeks ago, but this particular bun has been baking for a […]

A Pinterest-ing Weekend in Chicago
Yep – we did it again. 🙂 To say this has been a busy couple of weeks would be an understatement. I’ve taken on several new freelance projects, and while I’m really enjoying the work, the days are flying by faster than ever. It hasn’t been all work, though. Last weekend I had the chance […]

Falling Backward: To Be Or Not To Be Productive?
Thank you for the support and kind comments on the DreamChamps launch! We may be falling backward this weekend, but there are many things to look forward to with the extra hour. I’ve compiled a list of three that are especially appealing to me, and am curious to hear what your plans are, as well! […]
Book Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth
In order to fully convey my excitement over this book, I should first explain the story behind it. I came across Divergent while reading food blogs. I had seen people talk about it and how similar it was to The Hunger Games, another book series that I adore. Whenever I hear about a new book […]
