What do you get when you combine strawberries and wine? A fabulous weekend excursion! On Saturday, Jill and I met Lauren (also known as X…don’t ask) and Kelli in the ‘burbs for the Long Grove Strawberry Festival. You may recall a very similar trip involving apples back in October. The event was just as exciting […]

Guest Bender: Brittany from Eating Bird Food
#TGIM! Not sure what I’m talking about? I encourage you to visit Pursuing Our Passion 🙂 One of our new initiatives is to keep out the Sunday night blues by talking about why we are thankful it’s Monday. Our first post asks the question, “what did you want to be when you grew up?” I […]
Guest Bender: Chocolate-Covered Katie

Describe your Saturday in three words or less.
Much. Too. Short. My lack of posting today was due to the fact that I mysteriously slept until noon this morning! I can’t even remember the last time I’ve done that – I suppose it was a sign that my body really needed some sleep! So after waking up with half of my day already […]
